I cant find this word in the dictionary or it may be spelled wrong but what is the word~Necromancy?

Answer 1

No, that's spelled correctly. Necromancy is generally used to refer to magic that involves using or attempting to conjure up dead people. However, it is occasionally used as a synonym for witchcraft in general.

Necromancy can also involve "communicating" with dead people in order to see the future. If you've ever read Harry Potter, they use the word in this sense.


If you ever forget the meaning, just remember that "necro" means "dead." Necrophilia, for example, means that somebody loves dead people waaaaaaaay too much.

Answer 2

What kind of dictionary are you using? One which will fit in the back pocket of your jeans?
Its in my Shorter Oxford English Dictionary vol 2 Marl-Z. It's In Webster's Third International Dictionary. 1 volume, at least 5 kg. And it's in my English-German and English-French dictionaries.
Wikipedia gives the following definition : Necromancy /ˈnɛkrɵˌmænsi/ or nigromancy is a form of magic involving communication with the deceased – either by summoning their spirit as an apparition or raising them bodily – for the purpose of divination, imparting the means to foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge, or to use the deceased as a weapon, as the term may sometimes be used in a more general sense to refer to black magic or witchcraft, involving communication with the deceased – either by summoning their spirit as an apparition
