Necromancers are individuals who practice necromancy – a mysterious and often occultist form of magic that involves communicating with and manipulating spirits of the deceased. Derived from the Greek words "nekros" (meaning "dead") and "manteia" (meaning "divination"), necromancy is the art of summoning and consulting the spirits of the dead for various purposes.
Necromancers possess an esoteric knowledge and expertise in rituals, spells, and incantations that enable them to establish contact with the departed souls. They are believed to possess the ability to control and influence these spirits, extracting information from them, seeking guidance, or employing them as paranormal agents to fulfill their desires and objectives. Through elaborate ceremonies and astral projections, necromancers enter the realm of the afterlife, where they interact with the spirits and harness their powers.
These practitioners have appeared throughout different cultures and periods, particularly in the realms of mythology, folklore, and occult literature. Often depicted as mysterious figures, clad in dark robes and wielding ancient relics, necromancers are associated with the macabre and the forbidden. Their practices have been both feared and sought after, as people believe that necromancers possess the ability to commune with the dead and wield supernatural forces.
In contemporary society, necromancers are often portrayed as fictional characters in literature, movies, and games, where their powers are exaggerated for entertainment purposes. However, within the context of true occultism and paranormal belief systems, necromancers are regarded as individuals who possess the knowledge and skills to interact with, manipulate, and harness the energies of the deceased realm.
The word "necromancers" can be traced back to the late 14th century and has its roots in Middle English. It is derived from two Latin words: "necro" meaning "dead" or "corpse", and "mancer" meaning "diviner" or "seer". The term necromancer refers to a person who practices necromancy, which is the act of communicating with the dead or predicting the future through the use of supernatural means.
