Thaumaturgy (from the Greek words
thaumos ("miracle") and
ergos ("work")) is the branch of magic (or "magick", for
Crowley fans) that is concerned with the production of real-world, "objective" effects, e.g. "
miracles[?]".
This is as distinguished from theurgy, the branch which concerns itself with purely spiritual matters.
