I have studied necromancy for a while now. Whilst yes, i am not disgusted by it and see it as a means to an end. It is not generally seen as nice.
A distant variation of Necromancy is medium and psychics who can see/speak with the dead yes. But true, ancient Necromancy was known as infernal necromancy.
It was used by 2 people of the old Elizabethan times, who i believe were John Dee and Edward Kelley. Both were eventually accused of Necromancy. You should check their story for more information.
The art in itself became known as Infernal Necromancy and there are small sources in books such as 'The Book of Black Magick and of pacts: Including the Rites and Mysteries of Goetic Theurgy, Sorcery and Infernal Necromancy'. Look in Amazon under The book of Black Magic, by Arthur Edward Waite.
The art in itself was called Infernal as the barbarity that it used. It is believed that to conjour the soul of the dead in full, either as a physical or ethereal being, you need to tear the being away from where it lies. Usually it is held against its will and would become hostile almost immediately, so the use of a magic circle is deffinitely needed.
However, the true rites are all but lost and despite searching i haven't found much of use other than history. It is supposed to be done in a place of Murder, Horror or other such places and you generally need a corpse there.
For obvious reasons, the fresher the corpse, the more likely it is to work. Usually, also, you would need to place it in a position similar to the way the person actually died.
The places of mass murders such as execution blocks or war/battle site hold enough torment and dread there also to drudge the spirit back. Including also places like graveyards.
So, on the whole no.. Necromancy is NOT a nice art and it is somewhat barbaric in its ways.
Please also note... I AM NOT SAYING I AM PROMOTING THIS. This is only what i have personally found out of what the practise is about.

gidgit....
God's Holy Spirit was with His chosen people in the OT and when Jesus died on the cross, He made it possible for ALL believers to have that same Spirit...
What need do Spirit Filled Christians have of such things as necromancy? If we seek knowledge, blessings, etc.,. we just need ONE SPIRIT to do MORE than millions of "spirit's" a necromancer may seek to use.
So, no...the study of necromancy is still NOT for God's true followers... nothing has changed in that.
May you find Truth. :)

Maybe this will help Ur understanding??? Enjoy! John
DOCTRINE OF NECROMANCY
A. Definition.
1. Necromancy is a system of divination or a device for providing information, generally, future information.
2. Necromancy is that system of divination that allegedly contacts the dead for information. The word is formed by combining the two Greek words, NEKROS meaning dead, and MANTEIA meaning divination, to mean divination by contacting the dead, or seeking information from the spirits of dead persons.
3. In necromancy, two systems of fakery are used.
a. The function of a ventriloquist demon in a medium.
b. The use of mechanical devices to represent the presence of the dead.
B. Necromancy is prohibited by the Word of God, Lev 19:31; 20:6, 27; Deut 18:10-11.
C. All forms of divination are prohibited, since all are related either to Satan and demons or to some mechanical or chemical fakery.
1. Astromancy is synonymous with astrology, in which one uses the stars for information. Astrology is sometimes psychological. It merely uses predictive, psychological factors which are bound to occur in the life of an individual. But it can also be involved with demon possession as in the case of Hitler and many other world rulers of history. Their success is related, not to the fact that they dabble in astrology, but because astrology brings them in contact with super demons called KOSMOKRATOR demons.
2. Hepatoscopy is no longer practiced very widely except in Indonesia, certain areas of China, the Orient, and Burma. There has been some attempt to copy hepatoscopy in this country, but it hasn't been too successful. Hepatoscopy is killing a person or an animal and then taking their hot liver out while they are dying and separating the parts of the liver in order to tell the future. Nebuchadnezzar was a believer in this method of telling the future, and made his decision to turn towards Jerusalem in Ezek 21:21 on the basis of belemancy (throwing arrows up in the air) and hepatoscopy.
3. Robdamancy means to use a piece of wood or a stick to determine the future, Hos 4:12. We don't know exactly how the rods were used.
4. Teraphim are simply figurines of your ancestors or figurines of what you think your ancestors were. These are household gods and were always related to demonism, 1 Sam 15:23. Nebuchadnezzar finally consulted his teraphim after practicing hepatoscopy and belemancy, and they said, "Go to Jerusalem," which he did.
5. Human sacrifice was combined with all these other things in the ancient world. It still occurs today. Human sacrifice means to sacrifice both women and children. Men are never sacrificed unless it is to practice something like hepatoscopy. Child sacrifice is one of the most famous systems of divination. It was specifically forbidden by Deut 18:10. We have some very famous illustrations in history. The most famous was Agamemnon who sacrificed his daughter, Iphigenia, to get a good wind to Troy. It was practiced by the Canaanites, the Phoenicians, and the Carthaginians.
6. Sortilogy means divination by lot. This is very close to the use of tea leaves to tell the future, Lev 16:7-10; Num 26:56; 1 Chron 6:54, 24:5, 25:8. All of these can be related to demonism. They can be related to emotional revolt and to hypersensitive imagination.
D. Four Questions regarding Necromancy.
1. Is communication with the dead possible? The Bible says, "No." The souls and spirits of those who are dead cannot communicate or return from the dead, 2 Sam 12:23; Lk 16:27-31. The only exception in history is 1 Sam 28:12-20, where Samuel came back from the dead. This was divine intervention because of a specific case of reversionism. Saul refused to hear Samuel, his very own Bible teacher, on a face-to-face basis while he was alive, so he got to hear him on a face-to-face basis after Samuel's death.
2. Is communication with the dead necessary? The answer again is no. If it were not for the teaching of the Word of God, there would be a strong desire to know about departed loved ones and to know about things in eternity, but since the Bible gives a compete and categorical account of phase three of God's plan, no communication with the dead is necessary. This was Abraham's answer to the rich man in Lk 16:29. The dead loved ones in heaven are not watching you either. They have no idea what you're doing. In heaven they no longer have contact with the earth visually or otherwise.
3. Is communication with the dead permitted? The answer is no. God does not condone the seance nor the function of necromancy. The Bible specifically forbids it.
4. With whom do people communicate under the operation of necromancy? Contact is made through a medium with a ventriloquist demon. The ventriloquist demon impersonates the dead, as in the case of the witch of Endor.
E. Any believer involved in necromancy is in reversionism. This includes any of the practices mentioned as other forms of divination. Ahaz was ruined because of necromancy, Isa 8:19. Manasseh, one of the most evil kings in all of Jewish history, was ruined because of necromancy, 2 Kgs 21:6; 2 Chron 33:6.

I don't believe that people who have died can see us here. If they are saved, God has them now, yes. When all this is done, we will recognize each other. But people who have died cannot protect us or do anything concerning us. We do not become angels. Angels are different creatures than humans. If you want the details, read the Holy Bible, all the truth is in there.

Leviticus 19:31
31Turn not to those [mediums] who have familiar spirits or to wizards; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God.
Your logic is faulty.
Heaven is perfect, no pain no sorrow. How could this be if we could still see this piece of junk world floating around while our loved ones suffer?

I believe the book says that people who are necromancers are abominations!!From that statement in the book I don't follow what you're trying to say or ask.I don't think believing people are in heaven is anywhere close to communicating across astral planes...

Necromancy is not the study of death. It is the study of reversing it which is unatural. If you want a religion that holds death as a natural act, try Santeria or Voodo.
