Immigration Between Planes
The topic is exorcism. I won’t be focusing on the practices of any particular faith, but rather the principles that run all throughout world cultures and lore regarding exorcism and the circumstances around it. The practice of exorcism, in most cultures, assumes the native presence of spirits in the world itself. Whether these spirits are…

Spiritual Police
The core principle behind exorcism is not unlike an animal’s territorial behavior. Some species can tolerate the presence of other species in their territory fairly well, while others are much more aggressive and defensive against any rivals. This is why early exorcists would come to have a whole roster of different kinds of spirits categorized…

Spirit World Shaped by Connections

Category: Exorcism
Each aspect of the spirit world exists in relationship to all others and there is no solid barrier between these domains or planes of existence. Patterns of energy permit an exchange between one plane and the other. A previously foreign presence moves into a space or state of being it normally cannot occupy. This is generally rather disturbing to the natives no matter what the intentions of the new comer might be, as it usually strains the web of spiritual energies in the environment.
Early exorcists would come to have a whole roster of different kinds of spirits categorized according to their behavior. It was sort of a guide for what was a proper course of action when faced with any specific kind of spiritual presence.

When dealing with the lost, the modern exorcism can work, because the wording and emotion behind it scare the spirit and the shock makes them realize their state, and they let go.
