DEMONOLOGY
DEMONS
Interestingly, the word DEMON in ancient Greece meant "genius".
It was a term used to describe ALL entities in the etheric world, good or evil.
It's cousin DAEMON, actually originates in China from around 2000 B.C. from the I CHING, and meant a genius that could converse with the spirit world.
In our modern world, we tend to describe demons as evil sources of energy capable of nasty little tricks, manipulations, and even full blown POSSESION. Oftentimes, people have very definite opinions on this subject, both sides passionately believing they are right.
Ultimately, it's up to US to decide for ourselves independently, what a demon is, what the nature of evil is, and if it ALL even exists??!!
