spiritual possession
Spiritual possession refers to a phenomenon where an individual's body or mind is believed to be taken over by a spirit, demon, or other supernatural entity. This can manifest in various ways, including changes in behavior, voice, or personality. Different cultures and religions, such as Christianity, Hinduism, and Shamanism, have their own interpretations and beliefs about possession.
The experience of possession is often associated with rituals or ceremonies aimed at either invoking or exorcising the spirit. In some cases, individuals may seek help from spiritual leaders or practitioners, such as priests or shamans, to address the effects of possession and restore balance to their lives.
