Conjuring

From Traditional Witchcraft Wiki Project

A Conjuror is one who calls up spirits, the dead (necromancy), or similar, so as to carry out a specific intention, such as divination. It normally involves the use of a spoken enchantment, and sometimes also calls for skulls, bones, incense, herbs, wands, amulets etc. The word conjuration (from Latin conjuratio, conjurare, to 'swear together') can be interpreted in several different ways, but normally refers to an invocation or evocation (the latter in the sense of binding by a vow). The word is often used synonymously with "invocation", although the two are not synonyms. One who performs conjurations is called a conjurer or conjuror.
