The psychological factor

[john59]

Hi everyone, in many traditional cultures, necromancy was heavily regulated because spending too much time with the dead can detach a practitioner from the land of the living. For long-term practitioners here: how do you keep your psychological anchor firmly planted in life?

In a lot of religious frameworks, certain forms of necromancy were restricted because they were seen as disturbing the dead, not because it would detach someone from the land of the living. Anyone who’s actually deep in necromancy knows there’s no such thing as spending too much time with the dead that you’ll lose touch with life. No real necromancer really buys that.

For me, the main thing is keeping my mundane life handled well. If your day to day is unstable, necromancy will amplify that instability fast.

And I don’t treat my spiritual life and mundane life as two separate worlds, they’re one. That said, I don’t let necromancy bleed into everything, which means I set specific times for it.
