The common perception afterwards was that this record benefitted greatly from Ballou's mentorship and the superior gear at the band's disposal. Thaumaturgy was mastered in early 2007 by Nick Zampiello in Boston. The release was delayed to allow Dead or American to tour in support of "Ends" which, by this stage, had only been widely available for a few months. Thaumaturgy ultimately came out on 6 November 2008 and was accompanied by DorA's first European tour.

Another important difference is that Law is not inherently inviolable. Acts of thaumaturgy can create phenomena which do not conform to Law. In some instances, the violation of a Law can cause that law to stop operating altogether, which results in a major shift in the nature of the world.

Harry has summoned spirits across multiple mythos in his time, including faeries big and small, Voodoo loa spirits of knowledge, and actual demons, using this skill and thaumaturgic rituals.

The 12th century saw the development of the Kabbalah in southern Italy and medieval Spain. The medieval period also saw the publication of grimoires, which offered often elaborate formulas for theurgy and thaumaturgy. Many of the grimoires seem to have kabbalistic influence.

Dench, From Barbarians to New Men, p.159.

The theurgy and thaumaturgy of the late Greek schools were only the fruit of the seed sown by the generation which immediately preceded the Persian War. Aristotle's principles of being (see section above) influenced Anselm's view of God, whom he called "that than which nothing greater can be conceived." Anselm thought that God did not feel emotions such as anger or love, but appeared to do so through our imperfect understanding. The incongruity of judging "being" against something that might not exist, may have led Anselm to his famous ontological argument for God's existence.

Cuong Tu Nguyen, Zen in Medieval Vietnam: A Study and Translation of the Thiền uyển tập anh, University of Hawaii Press, 1997, p. 21. Cuong Tu Nguyen notes that the kind of Buddhism which was practiced in Vietnam during the Chinese occupation period and before the writing of the TUTA was "a mixture of thaumaturgy, asceticism, and ritualism" which was "very worldly engaged." Whatever the case, Buddhist culture, literature, arts and architecture thrived during the period of peace and stability of the four Vietnamese dynasties of the Earlier Lê, Lý, Trần and the Later Lê (980-1400).Dietrich, Angela, The Roots of Interbeing: Buddhist Revival in VietnamThích Quảng Liên, "A Short Introduction of Buddhism in Vietnam", 1968.

Their idealism is contrasted by an inept administration and a dishonest, show-horse professor. The "Scientific Research Institute of Sorcery and Wizardry" (or, in Andrew Bromfield's 2002 translation "the National Institute for the Technology of Witchcraft and Thaumaturgy", abbreviated to "NITWITT"), located in the fictional Northern Russian town of Solovets, is portrayed as a place where everyone either works diligently, or else their loss of honesty is symbolized by their ears becoming more and more hairy. These hairy-eared people are viewed with disdain by the idealistic scientists. The more morally backward specimens are the most self-aggrandizing and sure of their own significance, while conducting the more ridiculous and nonsensical pseudo-research, to justify their position.

This can be done mainly by food and in-kind donations to monks, contributions to the renovation and adornment of temples, releasing captive creatures (fish, birds), etc. Moreover, many Thais idolise famous and charismatic monks, who may be credited with thaumaturgy or with the status of a perfected Buddhist saint (Arahant). Other significant features of Thai popular belief are astrology, numerology, talismans and amulets (often images of the revered monks) Besides Thailand's two million Muslim Malays, there are an additional two million ethnic Thais who profess Islam, especially in the south, but also in greater Bangkok.

Throughout his life Bonewits had varying degrees of involvement with occult groups including Gardnerian Wicca and the New Reformed Orthodox Order of the Golden Dawn (a Wiccan organization not to be confused with the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn). Bonewits was a regular presenter at Neopagan conferences and festivals all over the US, as well as attending gaming conventions in the Bay Area. He promoted his book Authentic Thaumaturgy to gamers as a way of organizing Dungeons and Dragons games and to give a background to games of Magic: the Gathering. In 1983, Bonewits founded Ár nDraíocht Féin (also known as "A Druid Fellowship" or ADF), which was incorporated in 1990 in the state of Delaware as a U.S. 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

Authentic Thaumaturgy is a sourcebook of ideas for improving fantasy role-playing magic systems by basing them on purportedly real magical practices; the author has a Bachelor of Arts in Magic from the University of California. The rules are based on the magic system Bonewits claimed to use in real life in his capacity as the Archdruid of Ár nDraíocht Féin. Bonewits presents 26 Laws of Magic which he explains "are not legislative laws but, like those of physics or of musical harmony, are practical observations that have been accumulating over the course of thousands of years, with remarkable similarity in almost every known human culture. Those of you who prefer to remain skeptical as to the reality of psychic phenomena and the systems of magic developed to control them will at least find these Laws an interesting and detailed guide to what psychologists and anthropologists so patronizingly refer to as “magical thinking.”" Bonewits then presents examples of how some of these laws work.

Dead or American embarked upon a hiatus in early 2009. Cusack and Morrison had worked in the interim as part of noise-punk group Hey Enemy, alongside Neil McCulloch (drums, trumpet, didgeridoo), brother of former Dead or American bassist Peter. Cusack had also formed the electronic rock act Outblinker, touring Europe and releasing a number of EPs with assorted independent labels across Europe, including GabuAsso in France and GoodGrief in the UK. The band regrouped in 2018 as the tenth anniversary of Thaumaturgy approached, initially with the intention of raising funds to go towards cancer charity Marie Curie Cancer Care, a cause the band had embraced sine the death of their mutual friend and Scottish peer Robbie Cooper at the age of 36 from a rare form of cancer in 2014. Cooper had been the drummer of Dundee-based alternative group Laeto, as well as Edinburgh electro group American Men and Bristol's Iron Crease and Geisha.
