I have been researching herbal correspondences in books and the internet. I've noticed one property listed for some herbs that I'm a bit confused on. I can't seem to find an answer through searches on the internet and I didn't notice any threads about this subject, so hopefully someone can help me with it.
For some herbs, the property "exorcism" is listed. I have always been under the impression that exorcism means to expel a demonic entity from a person/place. I don't believe in demons. I do believe that there are negative entities out there, but they're not what some people call "demons." Is there another meaning to the term exorcism that is generally used by those who follow a pagan-type path? Or is the property "exorcism" put in the correspondences simply because it is a generally accepted property of that herb by most people?
I guess, basically, is my definition of exorcism accurate, and if it is, then since I don't believe in demons (hence nothing to exorcise), that particular property would be one I would disregard? Or, does exorcism have a meaning that is more tied to paganism that would make it more relevant to me?
I would definitely appreciate anyone's opinion on this. Thanks!
