Did the Necromancer practice necromancy?
When he dwelt in Dol Guldur, why was Sauron known as the Necromancer? According to the dictionary, a necromancer is one who calls up the spirits of the dead, especially with a view to predicting the future. Does anyone have any thoughts on what this has to do with Sauron?
