Exorcism (See also DEMONOLOGY, DEMONIACS, EXORCIST, POSSESSION.) Exorcism is (1) the act of driving out, or warding off, demons, or evil spirits, from persons, places, or things, which are believed to be possessed or infested by them, or are liable to become victims or instruments of their malice; (2) the means employed for this purpose, especially the solemn and authoritative adjuration of the demon, in the name of God, or any of the higher power in which he is subject. The word, which is not itself biblical, is derived from exorkizo, which is used in the Septuagint (Genesis 24:3 = cause to swear; III(I) Kings 22:16 = adjure), and in Matthew 26:63, by the high priest to Christ, "I adjure thee by the living God. . ." The non-intensive horkizo and the noun exorkistes (exorcist) occur in Acts 19:13, where the latter (in the plural) is applied to certain strolling Jews who professed to be able to cast out demons. Expulsion by adjuration is, therefore, the primary meaning of exorcism, and when, as in Christian usage, this adjuration is in the name of God or of Christ, exorcism is a strictly religious act or rite. But in ethnic religions, and even among the Jews from the time when there is evidence of its being vogue, exorcism as an act of religion is largely replaced by the use of mere magical and superstitious means, to which non-Catholic writers at the present day sometimes quite unfairly assimilate Christian exorcism. Superstition ought not to be confounded with religion, however much their history may be interwoven, nor magic, however white it may be, with a legitimate religious rite. for more historical notice see the link http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05709a.htm Time prisonoer 2 is the splendid the package that has allowed me to be able to compose this scene, all is magnific and very versatile all the prop can be used not in 1 but in 1000 differnt way and always are splendid, thanks a lot Danie, Martin and Abraham for have done this wonderful and dreamer package ( you are the best) The characeter is Lure of Lorelei by Rhiannon she is amazing very sensual and her body paint is some of incredible thanks RHi ^_^ the texture int he ball is Krid in freestuff, all the rest is postwork I hope you like it big kisses Orietta
