I am creating a blog to open people’s minds to new ideas. It will be about my many interests such as astrology, astronomy, finances, science, history, mythology, religion, etc. I will also accept ideas from other people.
Introduction
Demons are very ancient. Most of them started off as deities. They are aggressive spirits that are close to human nature. Some demons are very popular. I will list a few. They have a history of over 2,500 years!!! They come from different nations. Demons are removed from a person's body by a shaman. There are 72 demons in the goetia. Demons play a big role in the Qliphoth.
Definition
The word demon comes from daimon. Daimons were messengers of Greek deities. They can be good or evil. When the bible was translated in Greek, deities of other tribes were called diamons, later demons. Most demons today are based on ancient non-Hebrew deities.
History
The first demons in history come from Zoroastrianism. They worked 4 Ahriman. He was the god of evil. Those demons were called devas. They represented negative emotions. Most demons today are based on Canaanite, Mesopotamian, and Kemetic deities. Now they are a big part of Christianity. Christians see them as agents of Satan. They believe they are war with angels. But the truth is they aren't and they exist independently of Satan. Most Christians believe demons are fallen angels. They are just remake of ancient spirits, more or less. They are amoral, not evil.
Demons in Shamanism
Sometimes when people have aliments, they have a demon in their body. Demons cause and/or attracted to aliments. There are 4 types of demons. I remember 2 of them: time capsule demons and drive by demons. Time capsule demons may stay with you over lifetimes. They want you to get rid of a certain problem. Drive by demons curse people went sent by a sorcerer. Shamans help remove demons from people's body. Sometimes the demons give advice to the shaman on how to help the person heal. They are like another type of angel.

They can help or hurt a person in every way. Legend has it Solomon had a magic ring that gave him the ability to control these demons. They may or may not correspond to Shemhamphorash.
