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).

Ah, I thought of a good way to put it...


Upon the sphere of Earth is the Ego.
That which is us, as concerned with the Physical World

Upon the sphere of the Moon is the Self
The reflection of our soul, but not our actual soul.
This reflection derived from experiences on Earth through the Ego

Upon the sphere of the Sun is the Angel / Higher Self / Redemption
This is the message from God that created us.
The Logos of the Self

Upon the sphere of the Stars is the Soul
God where,
There is no difference,
One is All and All is One
