Mythology Summary
Jesus of Nazareth is the central figure of Christianity, executed and proclaimed risen, and named Christ from the Greek for anointed. In the occult traditions he is read as the logos, the risen god of the mysteries, and the pattern of the dying and returning figure - which is how he appears here.
Modern Practice
The practice is the Christian year and the rosary, the chrism and the exorcism; the correspondences are those the esoteric orders assigned him. The caution is ecumenical: the tradition is alive and divided, and both accounts are given rather than one chosen.
