Etymology
From ad- + exorcism.
Meanings
-
(countable, uncountable) The voluntary, desired or curative possession by a spirit.
Banga, which translates as "huge volume", commemorates the 13th Century slave and Sufi saint Sidi Marzuq, who was frequently aided by a collective of rûwahînes or spirit allies. The opposite of an exorcism, Banga is an adorcism, inviting a spirit to possess you and then finding ways to accommodate and accept it once this happens.
