Demons... CONTINUED

(this is a continuation of the previous article)

Now, there is much speculation as to what these demons might actually be. Some would say that they are malignant and evil by nature; I tend to believe that the goals and attitudes of these demons are as varies as there are goals and attitudes. How these beings came about is more or less a chicken or the egg kind of argument. Most wizards I know would tell you that a spirit or demon can be created in a variety of ways:

1. A demon can be created out of pure emotion.
2. A demon can be created with some sort of magic or ritual spell.
3. A demon can be created when someone dies.
4. A demon can be created when some intense event occurs.

I have heard that when one summons a demon you are actually creating that demon there on the spot. I would have to say that this could be half true. I believe that if one were to summon a demon that did not already exist, the effect would be that of creation. It is also a good question to ask ourselves: where do these demons go when we are not summoning, creating, or communing with them?
