Theurgy is when people perform rituals and use certain objects or special prayers to connect with God, the divine, or spirits. It's like making a special phone call to talk to a powerful being. People who practice theurgy believe that they can influence the outcomes of events or get help from these powerful beings by performing these rituals. It's like how you might ask your parent or teacher for help with something you can't do on your own, but on a much bigger and spiritual level. However, not everyone believes in the effectiveness of theurgy or its methods.
