在"英语"词典里demon}的意思

恶魔，守护神或恶魔，是一种超自然的，常常是恶毒的，在宗教，神秘主义，文学，虚构，神话和民俗中盛行。 原来的希腊词daimon并没有带来负面的内涵，最初被理解为执行的Koineδαιμόνιον，后来归因于任何同源词共享根。 在古代近东宗教以及亚伯拉罕传统中，包括古代和中世纪的基督教神学，一个恶魔被认为是一个不洁的精神，一个堕落的天使，或者是一种不知名的精神，可能导致恶魔占有，要求驱魔。 在西方神秘主义和文艺复兴魔法中，这是由希腊罗马魔法，犹太神学和基督教传统的合并而成的，一个恶魔是一个可能被引诱和控制的精神实体。 A demon, daemon or fiend, is a supernatural, often malevolent being prevalent in religion, occultism, literature, fiction, mythology and folklore. The original Greek word daimon does not carry the negative connotation initially understood by implementation of the Koine δαιμόνιον, and later ascribed to any cognate words sharing the root. In Ancient Near Eastern religions as well as in the Abrahamic traditions, including ancient and medieval Christian demonology, a demon is considered an unclean spirit, a fallen angel, or a spirit of unknown type which may cause demonic possession, calling for an exorcism. In Western occultism and Renaissance magic, which grew out of an amalgamation of Greco-Roman magic, Jewish demonology and Christian tradition, a demon is a spiritual entity that may be conjured and controlled.
