hmmm... then i would say start researching every single culture you can get your hands on. unless you plan on going to particular countries and convincing them that you are a serious student, and then spending the rest of your life learning how to exorcise the spirits in that tradition, i think you might want to research cultures and religions and see how they treat ghosts/spirits. learn the hallmark signs of a ghost/spirit so you know when you find one, and learn how to combat them.
for example, to get rid of an inu-gami (dog demon created in a very inhumane way) you have to find the corpse and the head, give them a proper burial, and give offerings in perpetuity. it becomes a family guardian/spirit. you'd have to know the signs of an inu-gami and be able to tell the family what they have to do. for a wendigo (manitou type being- not very nice at all, especially compared to other manitou) you have to know that a person "possessed" by one cannot be cured. the only method of escape is to fling your poo at it (i'm not joking people) and run like hell.
granted those are fairly rare, but there are cure-alls for unhappy ghosts and spirits. black beans (burnt by romans, scattered by the chinese), salt, anything regarded as holy in that tradition... being a non-specific exorcist takes time, energy, and a dedication to research. if you've ever watched Angel (this is for illustrative purposes only), then you know there is a reason that one guy was devoted to researching the critters and had a huge axe.
