Why This Blog on Exorcism

Hello Everyone -

As many of you know there are many sites, books and movies surrounding the subject of exorcism. I have decided to write a blog and book to try and clear up what an exorcism is, the history or exorcism and how various faiths deal with exorcism. In addition I will give examples from both a religious point of view and from a scientific point of view. This may take several months or even a few years to finish. I hope that you will follow my journey and give me constructive feed back.

Thank you

Shawn
