.Contacting the dead is a big part of my spiritual practices. I've spent all night in cemeteries and it was euphoric...I can't wait till it warms up and can do it again.
I'm saddened to see that this practice is condemned by so many Theists. Why is it forbidden?
I'm what you call a Satanic Roman Catholic. I do what is forbidden and think that Christ wants me to..
LOL!
It's also condemned by many RFers. But I haven't seen you do it lately!
necromancers don't win the lottery because the spirits they are interacting with don't know the lucky numbers...I don't believe in raising the dead. I believe we can communicate with the deadI personally do not have a problem with necromancy, as I view physically raising the dead as utter nonsense.
If you are talking about divination through necromancy, I don't believe in that either. Ever wonder why psychics/necromancers never win the freaking lottery? If someone wants to claim that they are a witch/necromancer/psychic/whatever, then more power to them. I just don't buy into that supernatural, hocus pocus stuff.

sometimes that is the objective...all hopes of getting such info are futile...I don't contact the dead for that information howeverBut is not the objective of necromancy/divination to learn information about the future? That's what I have always seen it explained as.
Why is Necromancy Forbidden According to Your Tradition?
Simple: It isn't. Many of us don't believe it do be possible, though.Contacting the dead is a big part of my spiritual practices. I've spent all night in cemeteries and it was euphoric...I can't wait till it warms up and can do it again.

I'm certainly not as experienced in working with spirits, but I'd rather prefer if magic would be more common - that at least would take away the stigma (seriously, I know no one in real life of whom I would know they'd do any kind of magic, except for praying, and even that isn't common here - but I'm in the closet about it myself, so that may contribute to it).It's interesting that you said you're saddened to see it condemned by so many religions. While I agree somewhat that it's sad to seeing a religion forbid any practice, I don't particularly mind the widespread ban on necromancy. In fact it can be nice sometimes, since it really helps prevent a muddying of the waters. Magic as a whole has been so muddied lately with all the "Wicca new age real witchcraft spells that really work!" type stuff, it's so nice to have a few little corners that aren't very contaminated yet. As necromancy gets more popular (it seems to be, at least), I've noticed that whole Wicca/new age influence start to come in, but it's slow, and I honestly think that as long as some of the big religions keep their bans up, it'll keep enough people out that the traditions, theories, and philosophies can be preserved. In the end I don't really want other people taking up the practice, in an ideal world magic as a whole would be much less popular. When too many people dabble their way in we get muddied traditions, fogged up theories, and we loose some of the seriousness as a whole. On top of that, the last thing I want is for the gods to tire or the spirits to grow angry at all the attention and misuse. I'm much happier if the practice is just left alone for the dedicated to pursue.
Because it is considered an act of idolatry to consult with the dead.

Those are only a part of the overall characteristics that cumulatively contribute.I do what is forbidden and think that Christ wants me to.
