Necromancy is an ancient practice that has both fascinated and horrified humanity throughout history.
It involves summoning the spirits of the dead and communicating with them to learn about the future and uncover hidden knowledge. It’s what we call black magic or death magic, the type that’s dangerous, taboo, and should be avoided. But necromancy wasn’t always viewed this way. In fact, so common was this idea that Homer even included an account of necromancy in the Odyssey.
