free class: 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.
Class Syllabus
-
Learn the different types of hauntings that can be experienced, and the different types of spiritual remediations that can be used to bring peace to the space.
-
Understand why certain spirits and entities may present as turbulent or haunting, and how this effects the type of remediation to move forward with.
-
Learn how to use divination to determine the type of spiritual activity that is present and the appropriate spiritual remediation to resolve the situation.
I'm Kaitlyn Graña, and I am the Mother of Mystics
I am a 4th generation Espiritista, trance medium, exorcist, and occult educator. I didn't go looking for the Spirits - the Spirits found me. Growing up within Espiritismo & folk Catholicism, conversations death, dying, and the dead were very normal. A ringing phone often meant a call from my grandparents to discuss the deceased relative who appeared to them the night before.
Espiritismo teaches us that we, the living are in constant communion with the dead: for better or for worse.
As an Espiritista in life and in trade, I have encountered numerous instances of spiritual attachments, spiritual maladies, and even hauntings. My experience has taught me a few things:
Not all hauntings are as they seem. Nuance, context, and history are imperative to understand before we can determine whether a spirit is "good" or "bad," before we can determine whether an exorcism is appropriate.
It's rarely as simple as assigning a spirit the label "good" or "bad."
In the case of a turbulent or unwell spirit, exorcism is not always the right answer.
In Hauntings & Exorcisms, I share all that I've learned with you.
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. We will also review examples of hauntings & exorcisms in pop culture, film, and media, and apply our practical perspective to these examples.
This class is free to attend! Replay will be available for 48 hours after class completes.

“Set in contemporary London, LILTING (2014) features intensely moving performances by martial-arts legend Cheng Pei Pei as Junn, a Cambodian-Chinese mother grieving the untimely death of her only son, and Ben Whishaw as her son’s lover, Richard. Set in her old-fashioned ways and not fully adjusted to the foreign culture she lives in, Junn finds her fragile world disrupted by Richard’s appearance. His attempts to communicate are first met with rejection and distrust—until Vann (Naomi Christie), a young translator hired by Richard, helps piece together the tender memories of the man they both loved. Graceful, moving, and humorous, LILTING explores the ways in which loss can bring us together even when cultures and generations set us far apart.”
