Soul Sanitarium Podcast

This is the second part of Exorcism and Demonic possession. The best films, books, and true crime stories from the 20th century. Case studies from psychoanalytical point of view: Anneliese Michel, Anna Ecklund... Films: Il Demonio, Requiem, Possession, Dybbuk.. In the previous episode, I discussed exorcism and cases of demonic possession in the early modern period. In addition, I looked at a fairly modern phenomenon, how exorcism in the Catholic Church is defined. In this episode, I'll look at other Abrahamic religions and their understandings of possession and also mental illness. I will convey the story through a well-known case, Anneliese Michel. The horror of annihilation, coupled with extreme feelings of separation and loss, recurs in her story. I will describe how, in a certain way, the omnipotent solution gave her perhaps at least a little sense of security. Instead, a slightly more difficult omnipotent solution of the other people was that it was decided to treat difficult problems with exorcism. I present the best possession and exorcism movies, as well as the related true stories. During the witch persecutions, the whole society was possessed. In these cases, it has been a common delusion of the small communities.

This podcast episode (part one) will NOT re-tell what you already know about the movie The Exorcist, but deepen your understanding of demonic possession and exorcism. So step into the world of the history of witchcraft and learn about cases of demonic possession from the 16th-17th centuries, as well as the theory about exorcism.
