Waswas

By Crusader1307

Both a Concept and a Belief in the mythology of some Arabic Countries (as well as a popular manifestation in Folk Magic) – ''Waswas'' was the Spiritual (Demonic) possession of a victims Soul. And while the sufferer's body was ''under control as well'', Waswas was far more dangerous. In many cases, once so possessed – it was very hard (to near impossible), to remove the offending ''Entity''. In other words, death of The Host was the most common method of ''removing'' a Spirit. Seen in Arabic Mythos, Waswas was seen more so in Haiti (Voodoo) Practices.
