Priestess Shoshana explains in this deeply moving coursework and lecture on Inner Demons, how they affect personal empowerment. She reaches into the old world mythos and balances mystery with practical steps for nurturing what we demonize.
Supernatural Entities Explained: From Angels to Demons
The original word is “Daimon”. In ancient Greek culture refers to a supernatural being that existed in pre-Christian beliefs, particularly in ancient Greece and Rome. A Daimon was often seen as an intermediary spirit between gods and humans, influencing people’s fates, personalities, and actions. Unlike the modern concept of a demon, which is usually associated with evil, a daimon could be good, bad, or neutral, depending on its nature and intentions.
Key Characteristics of a Daimon: Neutral Spirits
Daimons were not inherently evil or good; they were more like forces of nature or personal spirits guiding individuals.
Guiding Forces
They were often seen as protectors, guides, or inspirations, similar to guardian angels or personal muses.
Ancient Beliefs
In ancient Greek thought, such as in the writings of Plato and Socrates, daimons could represent the inner voice or conscience, sometimes seen as a form of divine inspiration.
Moral Ambiguity
Unlike the Christian concept of demons, daimons were morally ambiguous and could influence people towards both positive and negative actions.
