* There's another New Testament reference — St. Matthew <small>XII</small>, xliii.–xlv.:
{{quote| And when an unclean spirit is gone out of a man he walketh through dry places seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith: I will return into my house from whence I came out. And coming he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. Then he goeth, and taketh with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is made worse than the first.}}
** Of the little the Bible says for sure of Mary Magdalene, one thing is that Jesus drove seven demons out of her.
* Possession by multiple spirits is a core element in Korean shamanism, which is claimed to be a close descendant from Siberian shamanism, arguably the first religion of Homo sapiens. In a ritual, the shamans invoke multiple spirits to possess them one after another, so that they can borrow multiple powers to accomplish a goal. Somewhat frightening to see in real life.
