| | Spiritual possession - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Many other creeds, including Shamanism and many African and Afro-American religions, teach that spiritual possession may be benign as well as malign, and their rituals often include incorporation: either of spiritual deities, such as the Orisha of the Yoruba, or of the ghosts of deceased people, as in Kardecism. | | | Channeling may also entail spiritual possession, where a spiritual being comes through the receiving person's body. | | | Depending on the religion, the person who is possessed may be a priest, or a specially gifted medium, or a lay member. |

| | Demonic possession - Free Encyclopedia of Thelema |
| | Demonic possession is the belief in a form of spiritual possession; specifically, one or more demons are said to enter a living or dead human or animal body or an object with the intention of using it for a purpose, normally evil but sometimes instead as a punishment or test. | | | It is said by several spiritual belief systems that a demonic possession can be "cured" by an exorcism that enables the exorcist to expel the demon or demons from the possessed subject or object. | | | Involuntary possession, according to these theologians, cannot be negated because this would imply the negation of the cases mentioned in the New Testament (12, some of them repeated in more than one Gospel) and, by extension, the veracity of it. |

| | Spiritual and sexual abuse under the guise of religion is a taboo subject. | | | Often these spiritual leaders have sexually abused their disciples by convincing them that this was necessary for their own salvation. | | | This is an example of how far fanatical believers of all religions and ideologies will go, as well as how easy it is to be brainwashed or possessed in the name of God or any ideology in which innocent people lose their lives. |

| | Possession |
| | The spiritual leaders in the Voodoo community are the male hungans and female mambos; in their religious roles, they perform divination and healing rituals for individual members, as well as oversee all training and calendrical ceremonies. | | | Other religions, with more flexible understanding of the varieties of spiritual experience, encourage the direct communication with them that possession rituals allow; possession is thus an important element in many indigenous religions of Africa, Asia, and the Americas, as well as in the African-influenced new religions of Umbanda, Santeria, and Voodoo. | | | Possession trance cannot occur unless the religious community acknowledges both the independent existence of spirits and the reality of possession. |

| | LESSON 3.10 Possession |
| | Possession is a central feature of Haitian voodoo ceremonies where specific deities are invited to 'ride' the bodies of the worshipers during ceremonies. | | | Spirit possession cults have continued to proliferate, even in the secular West, and many spirits and their mediums are part of local as well as global cultures (Behrend and Luig, 2000). | | | Possession was a recognized phenomenon in ancient Greece where the Delphi oracle spoke through women possessed by spirits. |

| | Full spiritual possession lasts until the demon voluntarily leaves or is cast out. | | | For example, a Gunslinger with Willpower 15 would have a spiritual defense of 15 and a spiritual attack of 17 (they get +2 to spiritual attack as part of their character class). | | | However, any spiritual capabilities known to the character IS unusable to the demon. |

This kind of possession is a good possession -- it's a spirit guide. | | | We believe that, on very rare occasions, there can be a possession of a living person by the soul of one who has left the body, but not the world, and they're seeking a body to possess to finish whatever they need to finish." |

| | States of spiritual possession in which believers feel themselves to be 'possessed' by the deity and raised to a new plane of existence are found in almost all known religions. | | | This wide-ranging comparative study looks at the biochemical, psychological, aesthetic, religious, and sociocultural aspects of possession in discussing African shamanism, the classical shamanistic religions of Arctic Asia and South America, Haitian voodoo, the cult of Dionysus, Christian mysticism, and other manifestations of spiritual ecstasy. | | | Ecstatic Religion offers a comprehensive sociological approach to this experience, drawing an important distinction between central possession cults, dominated by male ecstatics, which reinforce official morality and established power, and marginal cults, which are often a form of protest on the part of the oppressed -- particularly women. |

| | The Bible describes people who "were possessed with devils" (MAT 4:24, 8:16,28,33, 9:32, etc), and those "having" or "possessing" a demon or an unclean spirit (MAR 5:15, 7:25, 9:17, LUK 4:33, 8:27, etc). | | | This is usually done through the laying on of hands and by invoking the name of Christ, as church members are asked to read the Scriptures aloud, pray in tongues and sing hymns. | | | A Christian is born-again by the Holy Spirit (JOH 3:5-8), indwelt by the Spirit (ROM 8:9, 1CO 3:16) and possessed by the Spirit (1CO 6:19,20). |
