The Witch of Endor: from the frontispiece to Sadducismus Triumphatus by Joseph Glanvill
In the Hebrew Bible, the Witch of Endor of the First book of Samuel, chapter 28:4–25, was a witch, a woman "who possesses a talisman", through which she called up the ghost of the recently deceased prophet Samuel, at the demand of King Saul of Israel.
The Witch of Endor may be seen as a survival of archaic Canaanite religion, similar to a sibyl.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Saint Gregory of Nyssa
His account of Moses as legislator offers much fine-spun allegorizing, and the same is true of his "Explanation of the Titles of the Psalms".
In a brief tractate on the witch of Endor he says that the woman did not see Samuel, but only a demon, who put on the figure of the prophet.
Besides a homily on the sixth Psalm, he wrote eight homilies on Ecclesiastes, in which he taught that the soul should rise above the senses, and that true peace is only to be found in contempt of worldly greatness.
