MaCan that sounds like dangerous activity. I’m surprised people would do that for entertainment purposes.
Yes ma'am
Personally, I think it is a dangerous activity, and I've never encouraged it myself. Tbh, it was the first and the last time I've ever witnessed something like that because I didn't really like what I saw, and I've been trying hard to avoid similar shows eversince.
It is a good thing that here, unless you're a member of a fanatic circle or something similar, nobody will force you to witness such thing if you don't want to. However, in a country where paranormal has been considered to be in the blood of it's people, many people would still consider an Indonesian male who has no guts to watch such a show to be a bit of a strange person.
During his youth, my current master was a capable person of doing such feat for entertainment purpose himself, and due to his talent, he didn't even have to loose his consciousness when he was being possessed. In other words, unlike the person in my reply, my master would remember everything he did after the spirit possessed him gone.
But then, just before he decided to dedicate himself on helping people with his paranormal abilities, all of his spirit advisors demanded him to dismiss the ability in order to purify his energy, besides, 'they' are positive entities, thus they don't actually happy to see people doing such thing only for such a shallow purpose.
And so through a certain ritual, my master dismissed all of his summoning-for-entertainment-only-purpose abilities. Now, he couldn't even remember the commonly short and easy-to-remember summoning spells for such purpose himself let alone teaching it to other people, which is something good, and I'm glad I met him.
He is still capable of summoning spiritual entities to possess him, but he did it for other purposes now; it's either for relaying a message from the other side to a certain living human (to act as a medium, so to say), or to 'borrow' the entities' powers in order to heal people (he of course, can use his own power, but healing people that are sick because of curse or something similar is no easy task. He'd end up exhausted if he kept using his own power, which won't be good either for the people he tried to help or for himself-imagine if he had to collapse before the healing process could be completed).
