Exorcism Class on Zoom with Joe Futerman
Exorcism: the front line in the battle between good and evil. The word conjures head spinning, pea soup vomiting, children strapped to floating beds. Or, bible thumping Christian ministers praying the evil out of terrified parishioners, or Jesus of Nazareth running herds of pigs into the sea. But let’s be serious. What does an exorcism really look like? Or for that matter what truly is an exorcism? This class will attempt to answer those questions by looking at both classical and contemporary ideas of spirit obsession, spirit possession, and exorcism. We will consider a short taxonomy of spirit beings that may cause problems for human beings and how to identify these various forms through the signs and symptoms of victims. Finally, we will discuss the process of exorcism and what is required of an exorcist and of the exorcism ritual for it to work. So join us for an introduction to the world of spiritual warfare. Please remember to bring your own split pea soup.
Another approach to the class nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition
