Hauntings & Exorcisms on Stolen Land
Film, television, and other media have conditioned so many of us to see spirit activity, especially in cases of "haunting" a home or property, as something the living need to assert their dominance over. "This is my house, get out"
But who's house is it really, in the settler state of America?
In this class, students learn the different types of hauntings, how to use divination to determine the backstory of the spirits present, and how to perform appropriate spiritual remediation from a decolonial, Espiritismo lens.
Back in January of 2023, I was involved in an interesting convo in Captolia's Coven about how to banish a disruptive spirit.
I was happy and excited to share that context is so important when we approach troublesome spirits. That things are rarely as simple as disruptive spirit = bad = banishment.
The reasons why spirits behave in certain ways - and how to remediate those behaviors - are nuanced - and that nuance is important when we are seeking to reconcile the disruptive energies.
The starting point for me, as an exorcist, is to always remember that we, in the “United States”, are on stolen land. A nation forged in the fiery furnace of indigenous genocide, built on the backs of enslaved African people. A nation full of settlers and colonists, displaced people, refugees, and asylum seekers.
The land remembers all of this.
As do the spirits.
Context matters when it comes to how we approach spirits who are troubled, spirits whose behaviors trouble us.
Good exorcism praxis demands that we make our choices in alignment with the land herself, and the history, the memories, the land carries.
It was that conversation that birthed the idea for this special class, Hauntings and Exorcisms on Stolen Land.
