Raising And/or Animating The Dead Options

I'm wasn't sure if I should have put this here in Esoteric Discussions, Left Hand Path, or in the Ceremonial Magick forums so I put it here.

Ressurection can be performed by a few Christian evangelists today, but is there an occult way to do it? Also, what about animation? what Hollywood enjoys calling "zombies." I don't care how light, dark, good, or evil the magick is. I want to know if it is possible to do it, whether for kicks, servitors, or just saying "I can," or if it's simply fantasy. And I'm not talking about Necromancy, as that is just summoning the spirits of the deceased to acquire information. I'm talking about bodies on the physical plane getting up and walking. Could a spirit be channeled into a dead body to possess and use it as a vessel?

Basically I wan't to know two things:

1. Can someone be brought back to life (truly alive) by occult means.

2. Is it possible to animate the dead (dead but moving).

Greetings!

Oddly enough I recently watched a program on the discovery channel about zombies.

What they said was that there was a specific potion type concoction (mostly ground herbs of which they could not mention all of) that would "reanimate" a corpse and the corpse could be used for personal uses.

But mostly what was going on was that the thing was used on living people, to put them in that "zombie" state, where they could be controlled.

Now, as for bringing the dead to life, back to the way they were before they died... I think it is possible... it would require a ton of power. And now I have been thinking of how it would be done.

Sure calling spirits is somewhat simple, but making that connection with the body again? I am not sure how it would be done.

Though I would love/ be terrified to see it done. Or better yet do it.

Peace.
