title = "necromancy"

summary = "\"i saw the soul of my grandpa and he told me to keep working hard\" is almost mystic and folkloric, not really like \"i summoned the soul of my grandpa to give me encouragement\" and still one step removed from \"i inserted my grandpa's soul into a corpse / some bones to give him physical form\""

i always have to stop and realize people don't mean actual necromancy (learning from the dead) and instead they mean some kinda pseudo-resurrection/reanimation thing in pop culture, haha

there's not as much stigma against it, compared to the physical. "i saw the soul of my grandpa and he told me to keep working hard" is almost mystic and folkloric, not really like "i summoned the soul of my grandpa to give me encouragement" and still one step removed from "i inserted my grandpa's soul into a corpse / some bones to give him physical form"

it seems like souls are free to either stay in heaven or roam the land of the living, but giving them physical form is like playing god
