Gee, I thought you said you were done discussing this five pages ago. Methinks the lady doth protest too much.
Note that I stopped....care to follow suit?
Eh, I was bored...
Besides, I heard my name taken in vane. That other one had to jump on the bandwagon. How could I not respond? Necromancy??? Who says that, honestly...
My best advice would be to....
Just...
Stop...
Typing...
Because the context in which necromancy was being used, has nothing to do with religion, creed or lifestyle. You looked completely.... foolish with that.
I don't know whether to laugh my ass off or go off, so I'll go the PC way and laugh my ass off.
Okay, I got this just for you since you don't seem to know what it is either:
Necromancy is the act of conjuring the dead for divination. It dates back to Persia, Greece and Rome, and in the Middle Ages was widely practiced by magicians, sorcerers, and witches. It was condemned by the Catholic Church as "the agency of evil spirits," and in Elizabethan England was outlawed by the Witchcraft Act of 1604.
Necromancy is not to be confused with conjuring devils or demons for help. Necromancy is the seeking of the spirits of the dead. The spirits are sought because they, being without physical bodies, are no longer limited by the earthly plane. Therefore, it is thought these spirits have access to information of the past and future which is not available to the living. It has been used to help find sunken or buried treasure, and whether or not a person was murdered or died from other causes.
The practice of necromancy has been compared by some to modern mediumistic or practiced spiritualism. Many consider it a dangerous and repugnant practice. Dangerous because it is alleged that when some spirits take control of the medium they are reluctant to release their control for some time.
Necromancy is not practiced in Neo-pagan Witchcraft, but it is practiced in Voodoo.
There are two noted kinds of necromancy: the raising of the corpse itself, and the most common kind, the conjuring or summoning of the spirit of the corpse. A.G.H.
Mkay, this can be derived as creed or lifestyle and even part of religeon.
Thank you, and good night.
I'll be done now.
