necromancy  

Définition

  • Necromancy is defined as the ability of a sage, shaman, or priest to raise the dead from the grave and communicate with them as one would talk normally with the living. The word itself is derived from the Greek words of necros (meaning the dead, the departed, or a specific reference to the corpse) and manteia (which has overlapping meanings of foretelling, to summon forth, and divination). [Source: Encyclopedia of Death and the Human Experience; Necromancy]
