	Symbols and symbolism in Christian demonology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This symbol may derive from Hinduism, in which it is the symbol of Shiva; his trident is sometimes depicted with a crossed stabiliser that forms the same figure.
		Nonetheless, sometimes demons were depicted riding pale horses, perhaps due to a folkloric tradition that associated the pale horse with Death, one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse.
		Although demons, being spiritual beings, do not need food, according to Christian demonology, demons and especially the Devil have been believed to hate salt, and thus it was claimed by the Christian church that no food was served with salt during witches' sabbaths.

	Number of demons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Much has added to the growth of the number of demons when Christian theology said that all Pagan deities were demons.
		Gregory of Nyssa, in the 4th century, supported the idea that demons procreated with other demons and with women, believing in the existence of male and female demons.
		As it had been said by Christian theology that there was 400 millions of angels, Alfonso de Spina calculated that about one third of them were demons, and in 1467 he asserted that the number of demons was 133,316,666 demons.

		Demons in the Hebrew Bible are usually not the same as "demons" as commonly understood today by Christians.
		The demons mentioned in the Bible are of two classes, the "se'irim" and the "shedim." The se'irim ("hairy beings"), to which some Israelites sacrificed in the open fields are satyr-like demons, described as dancing in the wilderness (Isa.

		If sexuality is repressed in such a guise in a woman's dream, it is possibly because she has a fear of sexual relations.
		In a man's dream the indication might be that he has a guilt-ridden attitude towards his own sexuality {which Freud might trace back to anxiety arising out of the normal male infant's erotic feelings for his mother}.
		Demons in dreams probably represent parts of your unconscious mind that have been repressed and neglected and are now threatening to disrupt or mutilate the psyche.

	Symbols1
		This symbol, it should be noted, had no religious significance in ancient Israel although, again according to Gershom Scholem, the Talmud recounts the legend that the hexagram was inscribed at some period in Solomon's ring or seal as a sign of his dominion over the demons.
		This symbol, the intertwining of the two triangles, according to J.E. Cirlot, is a graphic a depiction of the mingling of fire(m) and water(f) in the human soul.
		Fourth, symbolic representations such as serpents or dragons in opposition demonstrate a universal awareness of antagonistic or complementary elements in the cosmos that in some way are related to a quadratic relationship between male and female (right and left) and the heavens and earth (up and down).

		On the seals were cut, in miniature and in reverse (for sealing), friezes which involve gods, worshippers, symbols and other motifs, often arranged heraldically or in a form which gives the appearance of a mythological scene.
		The seals are often inscribed with writing (usually also in reverse) which may give the names of particular deities (as part of a person's name, as the name of the seal owner's personal god or within a prayer of incantation).

	Angelology and Biblical Skepticism
		The existence of Angels and Demons, which we may define as non-divine supernatural beings, is not a subject commonly tackled by Christian Apologists.
		If it were concluded that Angels and Demons are poetic embellishments of historical records, this would not entail that the rest of the Biblical accounts were not intended, or were not reliable, as historical reports.
		Aside from tarring belief in Demons by association with the stranger forms such belief has taken, Sagan provides a naturalistic explanation of Demonic phenomena in psychological and physiological terms which he suggests, plausibly enough, may also account for purported alien abduction experiences.

		People are innocently demonically influenced by having most parts of their bodies pierced and inserted with either bone particles or jewelry these would have been "blessed".
		In regards to your description of the inverted cross as a symbol of Satanists, you should be aware that the origin of this symbol lies with St. Peter.
		The inverted cross is a symbol of St. Peter's humility in his martyrdom - he insisted that he be crucified upside-down, because he felt that he was unworthy to die in the same position as Christ.

		Emphasis on the demonic possession of individuals must not be so exclusive that the New Testament emphasis on the presence of demonic "principalities and powers" at work in social and political bodies and processes is forgotten or ignored.
		But the symbolic interpretation may be legitimate so long as it is not in fact an attempt to explain away the reality of evil but a serious attempt to understand it at a deeper level.
		Those who become preoccupied with demonic forces, whether with horrified repulsion or with the kind of perversely delicious fascination such repulsion often becomes, attribute to such forces a power they do not in fact have, and are easily paralyzed or possessed by their own imaginations and fantasies.

		For example, where we simply indicate the sex, the Jewish historians used the word which was given to the symbol by which male and female are known; for example, in Gen. i.
		Baptism and light.—In the early Church the symbolism of light was closely connected with the sacrament of initiation.
		In our view, the symbolism of the Zodiac lies at the root of all these systems based upon the number twelve, that is, the idea that the four Elements may appear in three different ways (levels or grades), giving twelve divisions.

		Today, in contrast, demon influence and possession have been attested to and witnessed by hundreds of missionaries working in pagan areas where demon worship has been a way of life for centuries.
		In America and other more civilized countries, demon activity is evident from such things as hideous crimes, evil, unnatural, immoral, beastly practices, religious bedlam, the rise of false religions and religious teachers and the phenomenal interest in horoscopes, fortune telling, witchcraft, mediums and occult religions.
		To deny the existence of demons is to question the authority of scripture, the deity of Christ and the integrity of the apostles.

		Angels and Demons is a no-holds-barred, pull-out-all-the-stops, breathless tangle of a thriller--think Katherine Neville's The Eight (but cleverer) or Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum (but more accessible).
		His final discovery, anti-matter, the most powerful and dangerous energy source known to man, has disappeared--only to be hidden somewhere beneath Vatican City on the eve of the election of a new pope.
		I was slightly disappointed by the beginning of Angels and Demons as it was very similar to The da Vinci Code and full of complicated stuff about anti-matter.

		At the beginning of the book there is a useful author's note on the variant spellings of ancient names which explains the scholarly consensus on the probable pronunciation of the Akkadian and Sumerian languages.
