Description

This exhaustive volume catalogs nearly three thousand demons in the mythologies and lore of virtually every ancient society and most religions. From Aamon, the demon of life and reproduction with the head of a serpent and the body of a wolf in Christian demonology, to Zu, the half-man, half-bird personification of the southern wind and thunder clouds in Sumero-Akkadian mythology, entries offer descriptions of each demon's origins, appearance and cultural significance. Also included are descriptions of the demonic and diabolical members making up the hierarchy of Hell and the numerous species of demons that, according to various folklores, mythologies, and religions, populate the earth and plague mankind. Very thoroughly indexed. Read more

    • Excellent scholarly resource!
Format: Paperback
I use this for personal interests, and it is a great reference guide! It should be considered as educational material.

Format: Paperback
This is not disappointing. I purchased this product as a go to reference to look up “Demons”. It is exactly as advertised. As an intermediate Occultist and an Ifa Priest I assure you that if you are looking for an Encyclopedia on Demons this is a cool purchase. If you are looking for pictures this one is not for you. The format is brief description, origin and pronunciation of entity in question…. Nothing more and nothing less. I hope this helps… Peace on your Journey. ... show more

    • Huge listing and good detail
Format: Kindle
This book includes a lot of detail. Names many more of these demons these entities then I though. Lot of info. Good price for the size. Off the top of my head I say other large volumes are more costly. Good on E book.

    • A bit of a let down
Format: Paperback
Very detailed and descriptive on some demons while others barely get a 3 sentence paragraph. A bit inconsistent and a bit of a let down for the price when other much cheaper books have provided more info on the same demons that this book falls short on...
