possession rituals

Possession rituals are cultural or spiritual practices where individuals invoke spirits, deities, or ancestors to enter their bodies or influence their actions. These rituals often involve specific songs, dances, offerings, or ceremonies designed to facilitate communication or connection with these entities. The person experiencing possession may exhibit altered behavior or physical states reflective of the spirit’s influence. Such practices are typically rooted in belief systems that see possession as a means of guidance, healing, or communication with the spiritual realm, and they vary widely across different cultures and traditions.
