In religion and mythology, occultism and folklore, a demon (or daemon, daimon; from Greek δαίμων daimôn) is a supernatural being that is generally described as a malevolent spirit. However, the original meaning of the word daemon does not carry any negative connotations, which were later projected onto it as Christianity spread.

In Ancient Near Eastern religions as well as in the derived Abrahamic traditions, including ancient and medieval Christian demonology, a demon is considered an "unclean spirit" which may cause demonic possession, to be addressed with an act of exorcism. Western occultism and Renaissance magic, which grew out of an amalgamation of pagan Greco-Roman, Jewish and Christian tradition, a demon is considered a spiritual entity that may be conjured and controlled.

How do I not be mad at the demons and tortured souls?
Q. There was a time when I was easily swayed by public opinion. If I mentioned a goal that people told me was impossible, too often I believed them. Now I see that these people are demons and or tortured souls who are ravenous with envy. This is no fault of their own, for they too were victimized and programmed by other demons and tortured souls. But now that I can see them more clearly, I get angry with them. I know they are merely victims like I once was. How do I stop being angry with the human being who is a captive of the demon?

A. I can relate. I was beset by "demons" for years. They were either my stubborn family, a cult organization called Jehovah's Witnesses, and out of my own blind desperation for intimacy, a relationship with the wrong woman for 4 years. Because of all this, the "look of a demon" became apparent on my face. I had a constant inner anger and rage of everything and everyone in my life, including myself, and the bottled-up fury expressed itself physically on my face. I would often get comments from family and co-workers on how upset I looked, even when relaxed. Finally I decided to take steps to vanquish or at least BALANCE the light and dark nature of myself. Not let either of them overwhelm each other. I read books on New Age and self-help books,… [cont.]

What does it mean to dream of demons?
Q. I cant really remember everything from my dream but this. I remember there where these demon like creatures with sharp tails in the shape of or the symbol of fire. There was bunch of people running in fear. These demons where chasing them and killing them. I remember seeing people being strung up onto the walls while this demons impaled them with there sharp tails. For some weird reason these demons where not attacking me but acted as if they where following my orders. Hey maybe dreams dont mean anything at all, but maybe there is some kind of message in them. Anyone have any idea what the message of this dream could mean?

How does the demon possession thing in the show supernatural work?
Q. Can demons in the show posses anyone at will? If so, why don't they just possess the main characters? Or are all those people they possess people who have made contracts with the deamons? But then at the episode dean went to hell, lilith was jumping bodies seemingly at will. Likewise in the castiels family episode, demons jumped into the mother without problem or a moments notice. In the show, is there a way to prevent demons from entering you?

A. Yeaa for the most part a demon can posses anyone, it's easier to posses so one who has a weakness, like if there scared or have a chip on there shoulder, something like that... In season three (Jus In Bello I think was the episode) the boys reveal that they have tattoos of devil's traps that won't allow a demon to posses them, however before that they were fair game to demons and Sam was possesed, ( Born Under a Bad Sign) and John gets possessed in Devil's trap, the season one finally. The only way to prevent this has been by getting a devils trap tattooed your body or always be wearing a certain charm (Bobby gives the boys one Born under a Bad Sign
