Basically, is "divination by calling up damned spirits".Henry Cockeram,1623 but his definition does not accept the proposition that spirits that are summoned are not always damned. Cockeram's word "necyomancy", the spirits summoned are of dubious origin and may have not had a previous life on earth. in ceremonial magic these spirits are therefore demons, devils, or similar evil entities. These spirits do not want to be summoned and therefore may harm the summoner if possible. It is therefore crucial that the necyomancer works withhin a consecratedd circle.Encyclopedia of the Psychic World.
