Sometimes referred to as "Death Magic," the term may also sometimes be used in a more general sense to refer to black magic or witchcraft. Medieval necromancy is believed to be a synthesis of astral magic derived from Arabic influences and exorcism derived from Christian and Jewish teachings. Arabic influences are evident in rituals that involve moon phases, sun placement, day and time. Fumigation and the act of burying images are also found in both astral magic and necromancy.
