In the entire history of attempted necromancy, is there any recorded evidence of someone getting close to raising the dead?
Depends on your definitions of “necromancy,”. “close,” “raising,” and “the dead.”
There were actually scientific experiments done on hanged men in the 1800s where electricity was in fact able to temporarily produce a pulse, opened eyes, and reflexive breathing several hours after death, and some witnesses to these experiments claimed to see some amount of awareness in the eyes when opened. However, there is no indication that any kind of sapience returned to the body, nor that reports of “awareness” were true and accurate.
(I learned about this from Kaz Rowe, I do not remember which video, just go watch her on YouTube and learn some stuff because she’s cool and you’ll stumble across it.)
In medical terms, though, yeah, we raise the dead all the time. There are two kinds of death: brain death (all electrical signals in the brain have ceased, you are no more, you have ceased to be, you are an ex-brain), and clinical death (your heart and lungs have decided to say “fuck it”). Brain death cannot be reversed. You can force someone’s body to continue producing signs of “life” for awhile through the use of machines, but this is really only of any use for a couple of hours, and only to allow harvesting of organs for donation. Some people will say it’s also to allow the family to say their last goodbyes, but the truth is, you’re talking to a corpse that’s artificially breathing. There is nothing you can say after brain death that will be heard or recognized by your loved one. They’re gone. It’s no different than speaking to them when they’re in the casket.
CLINICAL death, however, is different. In clinical death, the electrical signals to cause heartbeat and respiration still exist in the brain, they’re just not getting through. This can happen for all kinds of reasons. I like to say “I died when I was eight months old” because it sounds super-dramatic, but the truth is, it was this kind of death. They got me hooked up to oxygen and my heart restarted in less than a minute, and then started me on medication to remove the allergen that caused all this drama. I died 34 years ago and here I sit, eating chocolate chips and talking about different kinds of dead.
So to borrow a great phrase from a great movie, there’s dead-dead and there’s mostly dead. If you’re clinically dead, you’re just mostly dead. CPR, mouth-to-mouth, a heart-lung machine, shock paddles, a respirator, or in some dramatic cases an organ transplant, can be used to bring you back to life, and as long as the medics got to you in time, there will be few to no lasting side effects. But if you’re brain dead, you’re dead-dead, and there’s only one thing we can do: go through your pockets and look for loose change.
So: in the history of necromancy, is there recorded evidence of anyone getting close to raising the dead? From clinical death, yeah. Happens frequently, although the raising involves relatively few skulls and chants. From brain death? Well…that depends on what you believe about half a dozen sensational experiments designed to make hanged men talk.

I love how the engraver’s tats are geometric, and the robot’s are organic!

i get that i can expect to see the “unreality” tag a lot on my stuff. i post a lot of weird eldritch shit and even when i post something that isn’t it’s still deeply steeped in my nonsense.
but i’m fucking losing my mind at how even my posts that are correct and true will be tagged that. fatal incuriosity is inescapable when you’re me.
my “a coin is a three sided object. never forget that.” post earned an unreality tag at one point
i’m sorry but maybe you’re not the best watchdog for what’s real and what isn’t, champ. i think being the arbiter of reality requires at least a basic understanding of 3d space.

i once posted the south up map in here and someone tagged it unreality… buddy that’s the earth……..
hello this is my favorite post ever and also life goals
Awww,,, goalsssss
Not scene but reblogging anyway cuz this is my blog and I think it’s SO FUCKING IMPORTANT as a young trans person to see older trans people that are still happy and alive and in a good place in life with people that love them. We all deserve this <3
