Rather, It's about communicating with those who have passed on / who's spirits still linger, depending on your belief system, and learning from them, possibly helping to move the soul/ghost/spirit onto it's next destination. Also, it's about taking the residual energy left behind (in graveyards and other places of death) by the dead and by the mourning of the dead's loved ones, and using it for spell-work. Think of it like recycling. Some witches' and wizards' powers are stronger (or they feel most at home) in the Spring and Summer, when the days are longer, the sun shines warmer, and life is abundant. Others of us feel more at home in the Autumn and Winter, when Death and the Holly King are a bit more prevalent.
Remember, there are always two sides to a coin. To have shadow, we must first have light. To have a sense of "light," we must have shadow to contrast.
Some might say what necromancers practice is evil and wrong, others still may say what we do is tame compared to others. I hope this was helpful, but I very much recommend doing your own research and coming to your own conclusions.
