Thoughts:

As I read abt Christian exorcism, one of the more interesting stuffs is that a lot of the rituals and even the language and even tools they use are like, straight up ripped from withcraft.

Bindings. Banishings. Amulets. Potions.

And extra fun? Some priests say the quiet part out loud. The enemy is magic. Magic must be expelled...

...but they bind it and twist it for their own purposes.

So okie. Hn. That in some ways simplifies things.

More as I research.

@tiefling Catholicism appropriated quite a lot of pagan stuff. Orthodox Christianity has mostly stuck with prayers to God for banishing the devil

@reiddragon
Me being bitchy, but isnt a prayer just a sloppy ritual?

"Please Yahweh save me from the half vampire / elf partner of Diotima! She be spicy!

@tiefling in a broad sense, I guess, but it's not quite like a ritual in witchcraft
