Taizan Fukun Ritual is a spell that can be used to give control over death, belonging to Soul Magic, allowing one to be reincarnated or resurrected. While the spell originated from Abe no Seimei, in the present it is famously associated with Yakou Tsuchimikado and it is said that he used it to reincarnate himself. There seems to be a time limit on how long until it becomes impossible to bring someone back from the dead.
