daemones

a gender of hellbeings and creatures of pure evil that cannot be described to (other) humans

Daimons aren’t (usually) ghosts.

Daimons definitely aren’t “Hellenic spirit animals.”

Daimon is a broad and varied category. In modern times, the term is usually used to refer to personifications of concepts (ie. Nike/Victory, Eris/Strife) or spirits (ie. Agathos Daimon).

Daimon can refer to basically any Hellenic higher power. But they’re not demons. They’re not inherently good or evil—some are bad, some are not. They don’t have a specific spot on the hierarchy, because it’s a fluid category.

Daemones are also known as Spirit Personifications. There are two kinds of Daemones, agathodaimon and kakodaimon, noble spirits and malevolent spirits, respectively. However, modern scholars and theologists have separated all of the daemones into seven broad categories:

1. Emotions and states of mind, e.g. Love and Hate, Desire, Affection, Anger, Harmony and Discord, Joy and Grief, Laughter, Hope and Fear, Indignation, and Delusion.

2. The human condition, e.g. Birth and Death, Sleep and Dreams, Pleasure and Pain, Youth and Old Age, Wealth and Poverty, Hunger and Disease, Ease and Toil, Fate and Opportunity

3. Qualities, e.g. Strength, Beauty, Grace, Wisdom, and Stupidity

4. Morality, e.g. Valor, Modesty, Moderation, Hubris, Mercy, Truth, Lies, Impiety, Justice, Oath, Respect, and Insolence

5. Voice, e.g. Eloquence, Persuasion, Criticism, Lies, Quarrels, Prayer, Counsel, Curse, Lament, Rumor, Message, Fame, Battle-Cry

6. Actions, e.g. Force, Rivalry, Victory, Labor, Contest, Fighting, Murder

7. State of society, e.g. Peace and War, Good-Governance, Law and Lawlessness, Justice and Injustice

This is part one of a fairly complete list of Daemones referenced in Greek mythology and theology, separated into each of the seven modern categories as best as I can do (I could not find a list where they were separated out, but I feel like it would be helpful if they were, so). Some of the Daemones overlap categories, so it looks like there are repeats.

Muitos tem medo do satanismo, pois tem uma visão deturpada do que ele é.

O satanismo não crê que o real Lúcifer seja maligno, e não acreditamos que a bíblia afirme que ele de fato é mal. Não há rituais, ou sacrifícios... Apenas há a sua força de vontade, e inspiração. Quando Lúcifer desejou o trono de Javé, ele não fez rituais para isso, ele lutou para isso. 

Infelizmente, a mídia religiosa constantemente relaciona a nossa imagem com coisas negativas, o que (além de crime de intolerância religiosa) é algo bastante ignorante e desrespeitoso.

A maioria dos assassinos satanistas, nunca tiveram nenhuma relação com o satanismo de fato. A maioria só usada a religião de fachada, e nem tinham fé em Lúcifer e em si mesmo, como nós pregamos.
