necromancy

Necromancy is a practice rooted in the belief that one can communicate with the spirits of the dead to gain insight or manipulate events. Historically associated with occult traditions, it involves rituals or spells intended to summon or invoke spirits for guidance, prediction, or control. While often depicted in folklore and fiction as a form of magic, necromancy has no scientific basis and is considered a superstitious or mystical practice. Its reputation is often linked to themes of power over life and death, highlighting its place in cultural, religious, or mythical contexts rather than evidence-based methodologies.
