If you have any more names, or titles that you would like added to the list, or if you see anything wrong, tell me about them and I would love to add them and/or fix them.

My only complaint with thia list is that a regular witch or practitioner cannot perform what is commonly thought of as an “exorcism”. When people use that term, what theyre oftwn thinking of is a very specific and specialized ritual thats performed by a highly trained and authorized Catholic priest. In addition, each individual practice has to be approved by the Pope and the church, so unless those conditions are met its not an exorcism. We can banish, purify, cleanse, disperse and all of those things may accomplish the same thing but we cannot perform an exorcism.

But, the practices of exorcism have been found in many different cultures, traditions and religions, and is not exclusive in any way to Catholicism. Even other sects of Christianity have forms of exorcism, so I do not believe that catholic exorcism is the only definitive version of exorcism. The word itself even means:

“A religious, or spiritual practice of evicting demons, or other spiritual entitiesfrom a person, or an area, they are believed to have possessed.” – 

wikipedia

“The expulsion or attempted expulsion of an evil spirit from a person or place.

“ – dictionary

“

Exorcism is the act of driving out, or warding off, demons, or evil spirits, from persons, places, or things, which are believed to be possessed or infested by them, or are liable to become victims or instruments of their malice;

“ – newadvent

Which in no way ties the practice of exorcism only to catholicism. The catholic priests do have there very specific, and specialized rituals that they perform to do so, but the rituals themselves are not exorcism, they accomplish the task of 

exorcism just like many other practices do. Banishment, and cleansing are completely different processes than exorcism, and they all accomplished different tasks.

Banishment is the act of sending an entity away.

Cleansing is the act of setting the energy back how it was in its normal state, and is also used to remove energies that it has picked up along the way.

Exorcism is the act of forcing out an entity that Is possessing a specific person, object, or place.

Where did you learn that exorcisms can only be performed

by a highly trained and authorized Catholic priest? I’d love to hear more of your understanding.
