Some excerpts:

A Christian author of the following century, Cyril of Jerusalem, gives the following general description of possession: ... the unclean devil, when he comes upon the soul of a man ...comes like a wolf upon a sheep, ravening for blood and ready to devour. His presence is most cruel; the sense of it most oppressive; the mind is darkened; his attack is an injustice also, and the usurpation of another's possession. For he tyrannically uses another's body, another's instruments, as his own property; he throws down him who stands upright (for he is akin to him who fell from heaven)' he perverts the tongue and distorts the lips. Foam comes instead of words; the man is filled with darkness; his eye is open yet his soul sees not through it; and the miserable man quivers convulsively before his death

Christianity had the greatest share in the use of exorcism as a means of cure: The Christians made their appearance throughout the whole world as exorcists of demons, and exorcism was a very powerful missionary and propagandist weapon. They were concerned not merely with exorcising the demons which inhabit man, but also with purging them from the atmosphere and the whole of public life. For the century (the second) was under the dominion of the spirit of darkness and his legions ... The whole world and the atmosphere surrounding it was peopled with devils; all the formalities of life - not only the worship of idols - were governed by them. They sat upon thrones and surrounded the infant's cradle. The earth, God's creation though it is now and for ever, became in very truth a hell.

The mediaeval KABBALAH is also familiar with possession. Bischoff speaks as follows in his einfuhrung in die judische Mystick

Grand formula taken from the magic papyrus of Paris. According to Deissmann it is an exorcism of Jewish origin into which a pagan has introduced the name of Jesus

Against demoniacal possession. The tried formula of Pibechis (a celebrated magician). Take of the juice of green fruits, together with the plant Mastigia and lotus-pith, and heat it with marjoram (the colourless kind); then pronounce the following words: "Joel, Mimipsothiooph, Phersothi. AEEIOYO, Joe, Eochariphtha; get thee out of N.N." (and other formulae). But write the protecting charm on a tablet of tin: "Jaeo, Abraothioch, Phtha, Mesentiniao, Pheoch, Jaeo, Charsok," and hang it upon the sick person.

To every demon it is a thing of fear which he dreads. Place thyself in front of the patient and conjure him. The formula of exorcism is the following: "I conjure thee by the God of the Hebrews, Jesus, Aia, Thoth, Ele, Elo, Aeo, Eu, Jiibaech, Abarmas, Jabarau, Abelbel, Lona, Abra, Maroia, Arm, appearing in fire, thou, Tannetis, in the midst of plains, and snow, and mists; let thine inexorable angle descend an d put into safe keeping the wandering demon of this creature whom God has created in his holy Paradise. For I pray to the Holy God, putting my reliance in Ammonipsentancho." Say: "I conjure thee with a flood of bold words: Jakuth, Ablanathanalba, Akramm.."

Say: "Aoth, Jathabathra, Chachthabratha, Chamynchel, Abrooth. Thou art Abrasiloth, Allelu, Osrael by night in a pillar of fire and in a cloud by day and who has saved his people from the hard tasks of Pharaoh and brought down on Pharaoh the Ten Plagues because he would not harken. I conjure thee, demoniac spirit, to say who thou art. For I conjure thee by the seal Solomon placed upon the tongue of Jeremiah that he might speak. Say therefore who thou art, a celestial being or spirit of the airs.
