Introductory Guide to Practical Necromancy
Spirits of the dead are no more wise when they are dead than they were when they
were alive! We do not gain great knowledge simply through the process of dying.
The dead have the same beliefs and prejudices they held when they were alive.
Death does not change spirits except for bringing a slight change in perspective.
Even the most skeptical dead will believe in an existence after death.
Spirits can travel around their city or rural neighborhood wothout being seen by
most people. Most spirits have some ability to see into the future, but usually
only along the line of probability. How far spirits can see, and how clearly
they can see, is a matter for individual spirits. Most spirits are not good at
either seeing very far, or seeing very clearly. Many spirits are great braggarts,
and will play vicious tricks on people who can communicate with them but who are
credulous. Many of these seriously deluded people ascribe great powers to the
trickster spirits who prey on them.
It is not enough to just contact spirits, it takes a great deal of time to find
out if they can provide you with any useful information. Most spirits just
cannot do so. It is beyond their ability. Most spirits cannot perform magic
either, much less do all of the wonderful things that many of them will tell you
they con do when you contact them. Working with the dead can be rather tricky
business.
The ability to speak with the dead must first be developped before you can work
with them successfully. If you do not have this ability, you will make no
progress with this form of magic. Magic worked with spirits is a very powerful
and worthwhile form of magical practice if you have the ability. Iy your
tendancies, toughts, and feelings seem a bit morbid to most people, you may have
a natural bent for this form of magical practice. If this is the case, you will
probably find that will be a great deal easier to practice than cereminial magic.
You will also find that necromancy is good deal more powerful for most pratical
work.
People who would like to begin in necromancy must begin by working with their
ancestors. Follow the following program and you may find that you will have some
response from your ancestors. These spirits will attrack some other spirits who
may be your working spirit. You sould not seek a verbal response, as you may
have a response only as a favorable change in your life. It is also quite
possible that you will have no response at all.
First : Obtain as detailed a list as possible of your ancestors. You sould
attempt to learn as much as you can about them, and find out now they were
connected by ties of friendship and common interests. Pick two or three
ancestors who you either have a pictures of, or can obtain a pictures of. These
sould be ancestors from this list. These are the ancestors with whom you will
work.
Second : At least every week you sould light a candle to each of them, a small
birthday candle will do, and ask them for help and guidance in your life. After
you do this you sould place a glass of cold water in front of each of the
pictures, one glass for each picture, and thank them for their assistance in
your life.
Third : Keep doing this each week for at least six months ; it usually takes
that long to begin to make any kind of real contact. In the meantime, if you
think you hear your ancestors speaking to you avoid talking to them. Just keep
making the offerings and asking for help and guidance in your life and thanking
them for the help and guidance they are giving you.
The reason you are avoiding speaking to them is that the voices you may hear are
probably trickster spirists, and not your ancestors at all. Despite any belief
you may have that you can tell the difference, you will not be able to do so. So
just ignore the voices and keep making the offerings.
After a year or so you will probably find that you are beginning to get good
inspirations from these spirits. The proof of this is that your life is now
running in a more smooth manner, with less trauma. If it is not, you may make
the offerings less frequently, or even discontinus them.
