PREFACE
From the author Amanar
When I first embarked on the path of Necromancy, I believed I was opening the doors to a realm of unknown horror and pitch-black darkness. Yet the deeper I progressed in this art, the clearer I realized that behind the cold breath of death and the ghostly outlines of ancient graves lie the greatest mysteries of the universe. Like travelers lost in the night, we seekers of knowledge wander among the shadows in the hope of kindling the torches of truth — and it is Necromancy that can reveal to us the inner nature of life and death.
Within the pages of this book, I wish to convey everything I have managed to learn and process through my own consciousness. Be prepared to immerse yourself in the texts of medieval grimoires, experience the thrill of reciting Latin spells, and sense the presence of forces long gone into oblivion. Here, you will find not only traditional descriptions of rituals and paraphernalia but also reflections on the philosophy of death, explorations of astral and otherworldly dimensions, and lessons of spiritual transformation.
Each of the twenty-two chapters is imbued with the experience of generations — from the somber magical treatises of the Ancient World to the legacies of those who dared to gaze into the eyes of Death itself and returned bearing a spark of enlightenment. I present them to you not as a dispassionate theorist, but as a practitioner who has encountered dangers, made mistakes, and discovered unexpected allies on the path to mastering the Dark Art.
May this journey become a test of your spirit and mind. May it teach you to use both the dark and the light sides of your being in harmony, reminding you that darkness is merely the domain where the thirst for knowledge can be quenched in the most extraordinary ways. I sincerely believe that those who approach Death with reverence attain a true respect for Life.
Before you lie the gates of “Necromancy.” Take a step forward — and allow the mysteries of the Universe to unveil their hidden veil before you.
With respect and faith in your quest,
Amanar
