Demons. According to the Kabbalah, the demons dwell in the world of Assiah, the world of matter and of the "shells"’ of the dead. They are the Klippoth. There are Seven Hells, whose demon dwellers represent the vices personified. Their prince is Samael, his female companion is Isheth Zenunim - the woman of prostitution: united in aspect, they are named "The Beast", Chiva.

Daemon or Demon (from Greek daimon, Latin daemon)

A god, angel, or celestial power or spirit, of varying degrees of ethereality, and ranging from the supreme deity of the hierarchy, through the greater gods, down to mere genii and lemures. Originally the term applied to deity in general, but later it usually was referred to beings intermediate between the gods and mankind, representing the powers and functions of gods.

The Greeks and Romans sometimes used the term for the human divine egos. Philsophers such as Plato divided the daemons into three classes, "the first two are invisible; their bodies are pure ether and fire (Planetary Spirits); the Daimons of the third class are clothed with vapoury bodies; they are usually invisible, but sometimes, making themselves concrete, become visible for a few seconds. These are the earthly spirits, or our astral souls" (BCW 6:187).

The daemon of Socrates stood for his higher and spiritual self, and parallels in this sense the Christian idea of the Guardian Angel. Hesiod designated them as spirits of the golden age appointed to watch over and guard mankind. We often find two daemones accompanying the individual, one prompting to good, the other to evil; while again it may be the same genius, whose influence is defined as at one time good, at another evil.

As with so many cosmic powers and their symbols, these other gods have been relegated in Judaism and Christianity to the position of evil powers hostile to mankind, to be fled from instead of revered, or ruled as obedient helpers when inferior to the human status. The whole idea of the Adversary or Devil is enshrined in the word daemones. But fallen angels, represented as rebels against God, were merely performing their natural duty in evolution by forming the lower worlds.

As personification of evil, the word can only be truthfully applied to those beings that man himself, by his evil thoughts and passions, has generated to hover in the lowest strata of the astral light or haunt kama-loka. However, the ancient Greeks and Romans themselves drew a sharp distinction between the daemones of more ethereal type, truly spiritual beings, and the lower earth-haunting daemones who were distinctly denizens of the lower astral and physical realms, and which the ancients dreaded -- with reason -- far more than modern Christians have ever done.

Demon (Ancient Greek) In the original Hermetic works and ancient classics it has a meaning identical with that of "god", "angel" or "genius". The Demon of Socrates is the incorruptible part of the man, or rather the real inner man which we call Nous or the rational divine Ego. At all events the Demon (or Daimon of the great Sage was surely not the demon of the Christian Hell or of Christian orthodox theology.

The name was given by ancient peoples, and especially the philosophers of the Alexandrian school, to all kinds of spirits, whether good or bad, human or otherwise. The appellation is often synonymous with that of gods or angels. But some philosophers tried, with good reason, to make a just distinction between the many classes.

The Demon (or Pinky Demon or Bull Demon) is a well known monster found in all incarnations of the series. In the original series, the Demon had a hunched back with pink skin (hence its name), hooved feet on its hind legs, a large head with sharp teeth pointing out, two large muscular arms, beady gold eyes, and two bull horns on the head. Its only gait is a run and it is never seen walking. Its only attack is a close range biting attack, but because of their brute strength and tendency to be in ...

The art on the album cover and some pages from the booklet inside bears some resemblance to those from The Beatles. The Demon Days album cover is styled similarly to The Beatles' Let It Be cover as both the albums have black frames and white lettering, and the four Gorillaz members face to the right while all but one of the four Beatles face left. In the booklet, every song from the album is represented with a page and artwork for each song. In the page for "Every Planet We Reach Is Dead", the four are astronauts on a ba ...

The Dover Demon is today a classic cryptid, with a variety of theories abounding as to what it was or is. Eyewitness evidence strongly suggested that the creature existed, biologically speaking. Nevertheless, the early ufologists first promoted speculation that the creature was an alien or some sort of mutant hybrid, perhaps one created as a result of a human experiment and escaped. Some have pointed out its resemblance to the description of the Greys, with the speculation that this could be a Grey or even a closely related species. No one h ...

The Dover Demon was first sighted at night as three seventeen-year-olds drove through the Dover area, when the car's headlights illuminated it. Bill Bartlett, the driver, reported that he saw what he thought at first was a dog or a cat, but upon closer inspection realized that it was a bizarre, unearthly-looking creature crawling along a stone wall on Farm Street. Bartlett continued to watch the creature, and he reported it to have a disproportionately large, watermelon-shaped head and illuminated orange eyes, like glass marbles. It h ...

Up until the arrival of Raditz on Earth, Piccolo and the other nameks on Earth were considered demons. This was largely due to King Piccolo and his spawn being incarnated evil. Kami's status as a namekian was not generally known, though he would not have considered himself a demon. When Kami originally came to Earth, he lost all the memory of his homeworld, and thus, neither he nor King Piccolo knew that they were aliens. Excepting Piccolo Jr., the offspring of King Piccolo were not considered namekians. It is possible that King Picco ...

The film has enjoyed a substantial popularity among horror fans because of the suspenseful atmosphere developed via its photography and general plot development. A primary point of criticism and debate has been the showing of the demon off and on during the film, which was not part of Bennett's original script (which he had written two years' earlier, having purchased the rights to make a film of the story from James' estate), which was supported by Tourneur. Producer Chester appears to have been the moving force in having the monster as an actual physical presence, thoug ...

The second of the Demons freed by the Dagda Mor, the Reaper is also the most feared. Ten times more dangerous than the Changeling, the Reaper served the Dagda Mor out of whim rather than fear or respect. The Reaper was known for killing: it enjoyed it, and did it purely out of instinct. The Reaper was dispatched by the Dagda Mor for several missions, among them killing the Chosen. In the process, the Reaper killed 6 of them, a patrol of Elven Hunters, a band of Rovers, and the mutant Elf Wisp. However, it was finally overcome when Wil Ohmsford used the blue ...
