Quotes:Necromancy

H. P. Blavatsky

Necromancy. The raising of the images of the dead, considered in antiquity and by modern Occultists as a practice of black magic. Iamblichus, Porphyry and other Theurgists have deprecated the practice, no less than did Moses, who condemned the “witches” of his day to death, the said witches being only Necromancers — as in the case of the Witch of Endor and Samuel.
