Possession by divine beings (such as spirits or gods) is, however, a key practice in religions worldwide. It is therefore important to gain an understanding of this practice in its cultural context before trying to develop a wider theory about it. This fascinating book contains several case studies that present new interpretations of spirit possession worldwide. The authors show the diversity of possible interpretations and methodological approaches that provide a new insight into the understanding of possession and trance."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aContinuum advances in religious studies. 606 $aAltered states of consciousness 606 $aSpirit possession 606 $aTrance 606 $2Spirituality & religious experience 615 0$aAltered states of consciousness. 615 0$aSpirit possession. 615 0$aTrance. 676 $a204/.2 702 $aHuskinson$b Lucy$f1976- 702 $aSchmidt$b Bettina E. 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822368603321 996 $aSpirit possession and trance$93951184 997 $aUNINA
