Talk:Exorcism

Should non-Catholic-Latin methods of forcing demons to exit their hosts (eg. Sam and Jesse use their own powers to do so) be mentioned in this section? IsaacSapphire 04:42, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Fresh Links Available? Geocities has Shut Down.

All of the links on the exorcism are dead links since Geocities has shut down. All you get is a page announcing that Geocities is no more. It was very generous of the original poster to put all those links up; is it possible to link to that same content elsewhere now? Does anyone know if the content has been relocated to another web site?

Thank you. Jim McGowan

Rewrite?

This article feels like it needs a hard rewrite. There's alot of first person throughout ("All the documents I have found", "I've gone through the exorcism rituals", etc.) that doesn't fit with the formating of a wiki.

There's links to episodes that go offsite, that instead should be linking back to this wiki.

Also I feel there has to be a better way to present the bulk of the content here, the ritual itself. The current layout with latin intermixed with English translation is cumbersome and lacks formatting. There must be a more structured and perhaps more concise manner to present the text. --Staxeon 10:27, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Completed a rewrite of the page. Editted recitations into tables with original latin on the left, english translation on the right. Removed all first-person editorial references while still trying to preserve what the original author/translator intended. --Staxeon 06:33, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks - great work on the page. --Missyjack 07:58, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

The following is the "standard exorcism" printed in Moishe Campbell's A Practical Manual for Hunters (included with The Essential Supernatural: On the Road with Sam and Dean Winchester by Nicholas Knight). I've kept the formatting and spelling as it appears in the manual for the sake of comparison. Not sure if anyone wants to use this info. --Ashley 07:17, 1 December 2012 (PST)

Exorcizamus
te, omnis immundus spiritus,
omnis satanica potestas,
omnis incursio infernalis
adversarii, omnis legio,
omnis congregation, et
secta diabolica. Ergo,
draco maledicte et omnis
legio diabolica, adjuramus
te, cessa decipere huma-
nas creaturas, eisque aeter-
nai perditionis venenum
propinare. Vade, santana,
inventor et magister
omnis fallaciae, hostis hu-
manae salutis. Humiliare sub
potenti manu Dei.
