[Help] Necromancer help

[Lord Talve]

I am beginner to the left hand path and demonology I want to become a necromancer but dont know where to start

 

[Morell]

Ancestors veneration is a good start in working with the dead.

For left hand path I would recommend Michael Ford works, you could also go with Connoly books for demonolatry. As for necromancy and necrolatry, I can only speak from my perspective and experience, I'm a Quimbanda practicioner, read books about cults with spirits, they are really strong in Latin America and can give you a base. For example, the cults describe in Liber Falxifer are really similar to the cult of Exu and Pombagira

Amass a basic understanding of how magick works and then move on from there.

• Unquiet Voices by Rob Douglas
• Communing with the Spirits by Martin Coleman
• The Witches' Book of the Dead by Christian Day
• The Bones Fall in a Spiral by Mortellus
• Underworld by The Sepulcher Society

I think that these are the best works you could find right now and before I forget, if you like the demonolatry, here S. Connolly’s series of necromancy:

• Honoring Death
• Necromantic Sacraments
• Keys of Ocat
• Keys of Death

Liber Falxifer 3 Gulgaltha Line is Necromancy focused (as well as Bone/Skeleton focus in the "spiritual alchemy").

Overall Liber Falxifer series teaches you a lot about Necromancy.

@Morell is right when he says that ancestor worship/practices with ancestral spirits are a good start in necromancy. You will gain knowledge and experience in the practice, in addition to a lot of benefits that contact with ancestral spirits can provide.

I just finished Ars Necromantia by Phyrexia. A quality book regarding necromancy.

Has anyone got more recommendations? Books with intellectual weight, devoid of transactional pop-occultism. I mean no disrespect to Mehen Vox, but most of those books are garbage. Underworld is an excellent book for sure, but something like "Witches Book of the Dead", just read the back of it. Anything that purports to reward you "fame, love and money" through magic, as if occultism was a vending machine, goes straight to the rubbish bin. "Unquiet Voices" as another example was published by the very questionable Llewellyn Publications.

"Underworld" and "Ars Necromantia" are the only books I've read so far that treat necromancy with the seriousness it deserves. "Greek and Roman Necromancy" seems legit but I've yet to pick it up. I'd love to read more books in the same calibre of the 2 I've recommended.

Maybe most and garbage were harsh words but I find most books on necromancy, and well the LHP in general, to trivialize the practice, and have a tendency to be produced for mass, easily digestible consumption
