Description

Ecstatic Religion is the definitive scholarly investigation into states of spirit possession and ecstatic experience across world religions. First published in 1971 and reissued in 2004, this Routledge classic explores how believers experience possession by the deity and transcendence to higher planes of existence, from ancient Dionysiac cults and Haitian voodoo to Christian and Sufi mysticism and shamanic ritual. The book examines the social and political significance of these spiritual phenomena, analysing how ecstatic experience manifests as an iconic expression of faith across diverse religious traditions. By investigating the rapture and frenzy characteristic of these experiences, the study reveals the devastating power and unpredictability of spiritual possession in human culture and belief systems.
