Necromancy
Necromancy is divination by raising the spirits of the
dead. The word derives from the Greek necros "dead"
and manteia "divination". It has a subsidiary
meaning reflected in an alternative and archaic form of
the word, nigromancy, (a folk etymology using Latin niger,
"black") in which the magical force of "dark
powers" is gained from or by acting upon corpses. A
practitioner of necromancy is a necromancer. (Definiton
from Answers.com)
The word Necromancy implies a demonic art is not to be
confused with conjuring devils or demons for help. Necromancy
is the seeking of the spirits of the dead. In the past,
necromancy was associated with reanimating a dead body and
forcing it to answer questions of the living. It is a word
that has often been used to wrongly by Christians to deliberately
associate Spiritualism with the demonic arts. For a long
time the BBC would not show mediumship on television as
it was deemed as necromancy and part of the black arts.
The Institute of Survivalists says says: "The fact
that institutional Christianity in all its branches has
always set its face against the practice of Spiritualism
is one which deserves notice. When it is remembered that
modern spiritualism is the direct descendant of the necromancy and magic of ancient times which formed part of that dark
background that hung like a pall over the boundary of the
sensual world, the root of its hostility is not hard to
understand." Institute
