From time immemorial, humanity believed that necromancers had strange abilities to resurrect the dead. According to legends, these mysterious people most often lived in old abandoned castles, which were guarded by crowds of the resurrected dead.
People understood what the price could be for attracting a minion of the dark forces, so they turned to necromancers for help only in extremely rare cases. Sometimes you had to pay with your own life to return a soul from the world of the dead …
In ancient Greece, the dead were treated like deities. The Greek people believed that after death a person learns all the secrets of this world, that all the secrets of the universe are revealed to him, including the future. Therefore, the deceased ancestors were called upon if they wanted to get advice or find out what events lay ahead.
An offering was prepared for the spirit, they sprinkled the earth on the grave with animal blood, milk, honey, wine and olive oil. After that, the necromancer magician performed a ritual during which he fell into a trance and received the necessary information from the world of the dead. Over ordinary mortals, necromancers had tremendous power.
Underworld in Ancient Egypt
As you know, a large number of things important to him were placed in the tomb of the pharaoh - chariots, gold and others. Often the company of the deceased ruler was made up of previously killed wives and servants. The Egyptians believed that the soul continues on its way after it leaves the body. It was in Ancient Egypt that one of the first books was written, which laid the foundation for necromancy - "The Book of the Dead".
In the 17th century, the Catholic Church opposed necromancy and accused dark sorcerers of being associated with evil spirits. The priests called to turn away from necromancers, to punish them. If earlier sorcerers were feared and turned to them for help, now they began to be despised and hated.

Since ancient times, necromancers have been considered messengers of hell, but is that so? Should you be afraid of them?
Science does not recognize the existence of the soul. Scientists can find an explanation for almost everything that happens to a person in everyday life. However, neither ministers of science nor doctors can understand why the memories of people who have experienced clinical death are so similar. After cardiac arrest, a person sees himself from the side flying through a tunnel, at the end of which a bright light is noticeable. Perhaps this is proof of the afterlife.
What will the mystics say?
The famous psychic Wolf Messing, at the age of 11, experienced clinical death, after which he discovered in himself psychic abilities that had not previously been manifested. Vanga received her gift of clairvoyance when she almost died from a lightning strike. Maybe clinical death is a catalyst that can reveal superpowers in a person?
At the beginning of the 20th century, the Russian thinker Nicholas Roerich in his essay "The Seven Great Secrets of the Cosmos" mentioned that after a person's death, sometimes his astral body can appear in the human world in the form of a barely distinguishable shell. But esotericists assure that the ghost will never bother the world of the living at will. If the spirit has appeared, then it has a good reason for that.
Necromancers and mediums are the only ones who can communicate with the other world. Only a magician with ancient secret knowledge will be able to perform the ritual and free the rebellious soul from suffering. To do this, the necromancer must spend the night in the cemetery and, with the help of the purifying energy of fire, send the soul to where it should be - to the other world.
According to psychics, the energy of the dead can serve for the good. But for the most part, it becomes a destructive force. Jokes with the afterlife often have the most undesirable consequences. Perhaps that is why magicians who attribute the ability to resurrect themselves usually have a very difficult fate?
The necromancer is a true master of the occult sciences, and necromancy is undoubtedly one of the most dangerous forms of black magic. Anyone who uses it at least once runs the risk of attracting unwanted attention from the dark forces.
