| - | '''Necromancy''' is a claimed form of [[Magic (paranormal)|magic]] involving communication with the [[Death|deceased]] – either by [[Evocation|summoning]] their [[spirit]] as an [[Ghost|apparition]] or raising them bodily – for the purpose of [[divination]], imparting the means to foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge. The term may sometimes be used in a more general sense to refer to [[black magic]] or [[witchcraft]]. | + | This is a '''list of [[occult]] terms''' including various practices, traditions, and components of occultism and [[Magic (paranormal)|magic]]. |

| - | The word "necromancy" is adapted from [[Late Latin]] ''necromantia'', itself borrowed from [[Koine Greek|post-Classical Greek]] νεκρομαντεία (''nekromanteía''), a compound of [[Ancient Greek]] νεκρός (''nekrós''), "dead body", and μαντεία (''manteía''), "[[prophecy]] or divination"; this compound form was first used by [[Origen|Origen of Alexandria]] in the 3rd century CE. The Classical Greek term was ἡ νέκυια (''[[nekyia]]''), from the episode of the ''[[Odyssey]]'' in which Odysseus visits the realm of the dead, νεκυομαντεία in Hellenistic Greek, rendered as ''necyomantīa'' in [[Classical Latin|Latin]], and as ''necyomancy'' in 17th-century English. | + | == B == |

| - | In [[medieval Latin]] and [[Middle English|English]] texts the variant ''nigromantia'', "nigromancy", is found. This form arose when writers of that era [[folk etymology|replaced]] the Greek word element ''necro-'' with the better-known Latin ''nigro-'', "black". In [[Renaissance magic]], nigromancy (as necromancy was often called during that period due to its presumed association with black magic) was classified foremost among seven "forbidden arts", all of them methods of divination. | + | == C == |
