Mastema - Demons, Demonology, and Evil in Judaism and Christianity
From a Gallery of Demons. Information on the demon Mastema.
He asked the Lord that some of the spirits might be allowed to remain with him to do his will
God granted his request and allowed one tenth of the spirits to remain with Mastema, while the other nine parts would be condemned
He seems to be of a different nature than those evil spirits he is pleading for
'When Mastema, the leader of the spirits, came, he said: 'Lord creator, leave some of them before me; let them listen to me and do everything that I tell them, because if none of them is left for me I shall not be able to exercise the authority of my will among mankind
He does not initiate the process of sin, but Mastema and his spirits then lead them on to greater wrongdoing
'And they made for themselves molten images, and they worshipped each the idol, the molten image which they had made for themselves, and they began to make graven images and unclean simulacra, and malignant spirits assisted and seduced (them) into committing transgression and uncleanness
And the prince Mastema exerted himself to do all this, and he sent forth other spirits, those which were put under his hand, to do all manner of wrong and sin, and all manner of transgression, to corrupt and destroy and to shed blood upon the earth

From Wikipedia. Information about the demon Asmodai.
Though the oldest sections of the âthe â present Ãshma mainly as an abstract conception, still, in passages here and there, he is represented in the guise of a personal being ranging among the evil spirits that obey

[13] Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed
Most Americans and Europeans don't believe in demons, devils, evil spirits, etc

Spiritism Bible study on the dangerous error of consulting or heeding
evil spirits.
In the context of this lesson, spiritism encompasses activities such as: Sorcery: The supposed art of controlling events or effects etc, by the power of evil spirits
(Job 7:9-10, Ecclesiastes 9:10, 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17) Evil spirits invariably rely on miracles and supernatural demonstrations to carry through their deceptions
(Matthew 24:24, Mark 13:21-22, 2 Thessalonians 2:8-9, Revelation 16:13-14, Revelation 19:20) Evil spirits are not slow to acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the ' Holy One of God .' So a confession of this kind from the lips of a miracle-worker is not evidence that he/she is working under the influence of the Holy Spirit
(Matthew 24:24, 2 Corinthians 11:13-15) Those who wilfully reject Yahweh's commandments and the plain statements of the Bible prophets lay themselves open to the deceptions of ' lying spirits ' speaking through human mediums

Horrors of Halloween
Contends Halloween and its symbols aren't "innocent fun."
On the evening of October 31, the evil spirits and souls of the dead passed through the barrier and visited the world of the living
The Celts believed these spirits could cause all kind of havoc
THE ORIGIN OF 'TRICK OR TREAT' The Celts tried to appease the evil spirits: ghosts, goblins, and demons
Huge 'Samhain' bonfires were built to light the way for all the spirits to find their way in to the world of the living.They would leave out food, hoping that this would please the spirit world
If they did not leave a thing, then hence, the spirits would play evil 'tricks' on the living in that house
If this was not abtained at the chosen homes, then a hexagram was painted on the door in blood to show the appointed evil spirits to cause all kinds of evil to fall on the home
The evil spirits would then 'pass over' the house they thought
Even today we continue the same tradition of carving out the face of the pumpkin to resemble the evil faces of the spirits

EVIL SPIRITS ?
The Halloween Deception
Claims God forbids Christians observing Halloween.
It was a Druidical belief that on the eve of this festival Samhain, lord of death, called together the wicked spirits that within the past 12 months had been condemned to inhabit the bodies of animals
If food and shelter were not provided, these evil spirits would cast spells and cause havoc toward those failing to fulfill their requests
Sacrifices were offered on this night to the dead spirits because it was thought they visited their earthly dwellings and former friends
There was a prevailing belief among all nations that at death the souls of the good men were taken possession of by good spirits and carried to paradise; but the souls of the wicked men were left to wonder in the space between the earth and the moon, or consigned to the unseen world
These wandering spirits were in the habit of haunting the living...But there were means by which ghosts might be exorcised
The two celebrations made strange bedfellows: one in respect of evil spirits, the other honoring "saints." Nevertheless, the joining of the two celebrations produced a hybrid of beliefs about what was supposed to happen in the spirit world
THE FALL OF THE ANGELS - THE DESCENDANTS OF CAIN - THE LEGENDS OF ...
This is the legend of Shemhazai, of the Watchers.
Why did ye forsake the high , holy, and eternal heavens, to pollute yourselves with the daughters of men , taking wives unto yourselves, doing like the races of the earth, and begetting giant sons? Giants begotten by flesh and spirits will be called evil spirits on earth, and on the earth will be their dwelling-place
Evil spirits proceed from their bodies, because they are created from above, and from the holy watchers is their beginning and primal origin; they will be evil spirits on earth, and evil spirits they will be named
And the spirits of heaven have their dwelling in heaven, but the spirits of the earth, which were born upon the earth, have their dwelling on the earth
And the spirits of the giants will devour, oppress, destroy, attack, do battle, and cause destruction on the earth, and work affliction
And these spirits will rise up against the children of men and against the women, because they have proceeded from them
Since the days of murder and destruction and the death of the giants, when the spirits went forth from the soul of their flesh, in order to destroy without incurring judgment--thus will they destroy until the day when the great consummation of the great world be consummated
CARIB SHAMAN
This article by Laura Ann Phillips in The Daily Express of Trinidad, consists of
an interview with Ricardo Cruz, the young shaman of Trinidad's Carib Community.
Jesse proclaimed that shamans were intermediaries of evil spirits. From serious accounts left by early missionaries, he wrote, it would seem proved that the shamans dealt with the devil and were at times possessed by him. At 24, Cruz still remembers when first nation tribes were persecuted in the United States where he grew up
The creations his brother made remained in the world and started misinforming people of their true place, he said, So man looks at the forest and says its evil. He doesnt know his place and brings evil on everything else. Another part of the fall-out is that humans also began to fear death, Cruz said. Some also believe that colonization and violence were suggested to a group of people by evil spirits, Cruz said
Cruz believes he was selected by the spirits, although, he said, he is not a spiritual leader
His spirits, Cruz said, taught him the rest
He regularly spent periods of prayer and fasting in the forests to commune with those spirits, he said
He intends to pass his knowledge on to his children and keep a keen eye out for the one who seems most accepting of the way the one who the spirits may choose as the next shaman
History Of Funeral Customs
Good introduction from the Wyoming Funeral Directors Association site.
In his primitive mind, live and death events were the acts of spirits
Since he was not able to see or sense these spirits, he lived in a world of terror
In an effort to enact some type of truce with these "gods" or "spirits, " man devised charms, ceremonies and rituals to placate these spirits
The first burial customs then, were crude efforts to protect the living from the spirits which caused the death of the person
Fear of the dead caused the burning of bodies to destroy evil spirits
The Zulus burn all of the belongings of the deceased to prevent the evil spirits from even hovering in the vicinity
Some tribes would set up a ring of fire around the bodies of their dead to singe the wings of the spirits and prevent them from attacking other members of the community
Other tribes would throw spears and arrows into the air to kill hovering spirits or would eat bitter herbs to drive away or kill spirits that may have already invaded their bodies
Anyone who touched a dead body was "powerless in mind, tongue, and hand." This paralysis was inflicted by the evil spirits which were associated with the dead body
The Dark Side Of Halloween
Argues Halloween focuses on violence, fear, and the occult, and is, therefore, harmful.
It was a time when the 'spirits' (demons) were supposed to be at their peak power and revisiting the earth planet.' He went on to say, 'Halloween is purely and absolutely evil, and there is nothing we ever have or will do that would make it acceptable to the Lord Jesus.' What is the man talking about, you might be asking yourself? Let me explain
The origin of Halloween is the Celtic Festival of Samhain, lord of death and evil spirits
Further, they believed that on October 31st Samhain assembled the spirits of all who had died during the previous year
These spirits had been confined to inhabit animals bodies for the past year, as punishment for their evil deeds
This was done to appease Samhain and keep spirits from harming them
In addition, it was likely that all of the 'wandering spirits' would get hungry
The candy has replaced the human sacrifices of old, but it is still an appeasement of those deceptive evil spirits
They would dance, chant and jump through the flames in hope warding off the evil spirits
