The Truth About Daemons and Devils
The word Demon is orignally spelled "Daemon" and "Daimon." They are
Greek and Latin words that literally mean "intelligent," and come from
the word "div," which means "to shine." Daemons were originally known
by the ancient Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, and Sumerians as "Gods"
or "intermediary spirits between men and higher ranking Gods." If you
look in the 2nd and 3rd definitions of the word "Demon" in the dictionary
it will say something like: Intermediary or gaurdian spirits with great
energy,vigor, and intelligence. Also, the ancient Egyptians often referred
to their Gods and entities using the word "neter," which
means "gaurdian." The whole gaurdian angel b.s. is nothing more than
ripp off or introverse of the Oringinal Religions (Demonalotary, Witchcraft,
and yes even Traditional Satanism). Although their names have been
changed and they've been distorted largely by Xtianity. Devils, I believe
comes from "Daevas," an Indo-Iranian word for "Gods."
In conclusion Satanism and Demonolatry have pre-xtian roots in old
Sumerian/Mesopotamian/Celtic religions. Entities worshiped as gods in
those days were labeled as demons by
jews, then xtians and later by the muslims as well.
