|
— supernatural model: (evil, the devil, sorcery, moon and stars)

What is trepanning?
|
surgery in which a hole is drilled or scraped into the human skull, exposing the dura mater, in the mistaken belief that it would let evil spirits escape.

It was also used later to treat or cure epileptic seizures, migraines and mental disorders.
