| The mother of a possessed little girl is talking to the recently arrived priest who is going to perform an exorcism. |
| Thereafter, formal rituals of exorcism were adopted by the Church throughout the medieval centuries. |
| Similarly, there are other rituals outside their sphere of activity, such as the propitiation or exorcism of dangerous spirits. |
| During the exorcism we asked her what organisation she had been initiated into and she wouldn't tell us but we managed to squeeze it out of her. |
| She did suffer a lot of physical and emotional pain, but putting it on canvas was a form of exorcism, and she did it with a dark sense of humour. |
| One was an attempt at exorcism, the other a rather more practical if overly melodramatic way of making the pain go away. |
