Exorcism and Releasement

Exorcism: The banishing or eviction of spirits, demons ghosts and other entities believed to be possessing a human or a place.

The severity of possession can determine the type of exorcism needed,
From a friendly persuasive conversation to an elaborate ritual demanding the entity leave in the name of God or a God.
Exorcism comes from the Greek term: exousia, meaning oath.
This also translates as adjuro or adjure in Latin and English.
Contrary to popular belie, To exorcise does not mean to cast out as much as meaning putting the entity on oath, or invoking a higher authority to compel the entity to act in a way against its wishes. Similar to the act of binding. Christian ways state that exorcism binds evil powers by the triumph of Christ and through the application of His power in and by His church.
Christian exorcism rituals tend to begin with the following words in Latin:
Adjure te, spiritus nequissime, per Deum omnipotentem.
Which translates as:
I adjure thee, most evil spirit, by almighty God.
In Christianity, exorcism is associated with the Demonic possession, which is seen as evil and the work of Satan.
People experiencing possession may levitate, become a lot stronger and powerful and speak a language unknown to them.
They are also known to conduct unimaginable contortions and spasms, body noises, diarrhoea, spiting, vomiting and swearing.
The room also goes through hot and cold waves of extreme intensity.
Most exorcisms are performed with priests, ministers, a junior cleric, a physician and in some cases a family member.
