possess

Heisig story:

The picture here is of someone with a slab of meat dangling by the side, perhaps from a belt or rope tied around the waist. Think of it as an evil spirit in possession of one's soul, who can be exorcized only by allowing fresh meat to hang by one's side until it begins to putrefy and stink so bad that the demon departs. Take careful note of the stroke order.
