Merry Meet To Shade343 & All,
Previously, I have already stated clearly this Topic here is not suitable for my Haven i do not wish to go in depth with it. However since its brought up again, I feel a need to share these with all of you here!
Excerpts from "Necromancy: The Art of Thanatos" :
Witches in the Middle Ages were believed to sign a pact with the Devil for their powers. They were believed to gather in great orgies in the woods at night, and at these so-called WitchesÂ’ Sabbats, they were believed to slaughter and eat infants, engage in perverted sexual activities, and work spells to bring plagues, famines, and other evils to the land. Numerous tracts on witches and witchcraft, written by Christian experts, asserted all those things and more. The Malleus Maleficarum ( or "Hammer of Witches" ), a famous tract on witches from the 15th century even made the claim that witches (who were almost invariably women) had the power to steal menÂ’s genitals. The witches then kept their pet penises in little nests hidden away high up in trees, feeding them on honey, milk, and blood.
What does any of this have to do with necromancy? The summoning of spirits was of course one of the many charges levied against the witches. Necromancy was apparently practiced by certain members of the Church - but it had to be sanctioned. In 13th century Florence, Niccolo Consigli was tried for practicing necromancy without a license. This implies that the art was allowed and accepted so long as it was performed within certain limitations of the law. Richard Kieckhefer, in his book Forbidden Rites, tells us that many of the clergy practiced the summoning of spirits. Sometimes they were looked down upon by their fellow priests, but for the most part it was believed that if anyone could practice such arts and remain uncorrupted by them, the clergy could do it. Notably, one of the major necromantic grimoires to have been produced in the medieval era is the Grimoire of Honorius - attributed to no one less than Pope Honorius himself!
Yet the so-called necromancy that appears in these early grimoires rarely requires the necromancer to shed blood or mutilate corpses. Most of the evocation which appears in the texts is pure ceremonial magick, the kind heavily influenced by Qabbalistic teachings and the Solomonic tradition. In most, although not all, of the spells, the goal of summoning is to gain knowledge and information. So where does the notion that a necromancer must wallow in body parts and blood arise from? Where, indeed.
As far as the witchcraze was concerned, there was no distinction between someone who practiced witchcraft and someone who practiced unlicensed necromancy. Without the sanction and power of the Church, you could not work magick. Period. Anything else was considered an infernal art. Those who practiced unsanctioned magick were invariably considered to be in league with Satan and working (ultimately) toward the destruction of the One True Church. In fact, the word necromancy was at one point completely interchangeable with the word nigromancy, -- a catch-all term for any of the black arts in general. Just as the writings of the day described what the Christians believed the witches were up to, so too did those tracts include the ChristiansÂ’ view of the necromancerÂ’s art. Writers like Cornelius Agrippa, whose Three Books on Occult Philosophy is still in circulation today, paint a very dark picture of the necromancer indeed.
