exorcism rites of the middle east during the bronze age:
demons or spirits were threatened to leave the body of their victims by invoking the power of an allied spirit or your 'homeboy-god' if you so will - which quickly turned a polytheistic caananite wind-god (yahweh) into 'the only motherfucker there is' (also the one who will fuck up all the babylonian gods cause he got like three testicles and then he will reinstate israel)
