Demons and their names. Greek and Roman mythological names Mythological names for men

Thinking about strange names - which for some reason parents come up with, and then the child will suffer all his life - was prompted by today's news from the Ryazan region.

DEMON is a word derived from the ancient Greek "daimon". So who are these, after all, demons?

mythological consciousness pagan beliefs says that the demon is the “soul” of the object, an unknowable force that can be evil or very evil, the demon is present in all phenomena or things, fire and water spirits, spirits of trees and spirits of stones, representing the Universe as space, Everything is filled with demons. (Thales).

Religious consciousness, especially Christian mysticism, believes that a demon is a creature opposite to an angel, and demons often came from former bright angels or even gods. Most often, the Demon is something evil and absolutely indifferent to a person, but if you turn to him, then the person who knows, the demon will readily serve and fulfill the slightest desires only in order to provide himself with fueling energy.

Devils, no doubt, are also very strong entities, but since they do not have a physical shell, which deprives them of a huge amount of earthly pleasures, they are extremely willing to make various agreements and can completely obey the will of the magician and even do good. The passion for cabalism, on the one hand, and the development of demonology, on the other, had consequences in the form of the development of a hierarchy and a certain specialization of demons (for example, incubi, demons, succubi and imps); if we talk about Byzantine theologians, then they divided the demons into 4 categories:

- god-like demon (theodaimones);

- humanoid demon (anthropodaimones);

- bestial demon (zoodaimones);

- plant-like demon (phytodaimones).

If we understand God as the creative force of nature, more precisely, progress, and, regardless of what we are talking about - about society, about inanimate or living nature, then the forces of destruction are what is meant by the devil. The Devil has had a huge number of names over the past few thousand years. This is the Prince of Darkness, and Lucifer, and Beelzebub, and the Beast, and the Antichrist, and the evil one, and the Prince of demons, and the tempting serpent, and the Angel of the Abyss, and Satan, as well as many other names. The Devil's Names section lists the most common names and short description names of evil spirits.

Now we know that in the occult and philosophical understanding, demons are spiritual beings, embodied in an abstract form, they are incorporeal beings, and nevertheless, capable of certain actions. The basic principle of communication with a demon is the knowledge of its name and the main purpose of this demon. If you know the name of the desired demon and have certain skills, then you can very well call him and tell him about your wishes.
