Gnosticism largely relies on Greek and Persian dualism, especially on Platonism. In accordance with Platonism, they regarded the idea as good while considering the material and conscious world to be inherently evil. [115] The demonized star-deities of late Persian religion became associated with a demon, thus identifying the seven observable planets with a demonic ruler. [116] These demons rule over the earth and the realm of planets, representing different desires and passions. [117] According to Origen, the Ophites depicted the world as surrounded by the demonic Leviathan. [118] Highly recommend this product. I have been using Terminex services for years and it is quite expensive. I tried Demon Max and it works perfectly. Roaches are dead outside the house and never make it in. I only have to treat the outside perimeter of my home.

Lamashtu was a demonic goddess with the "head of a lion, the teeth of a donkey, naked breasts, a hairy body, hands stained (with blood?), long fingers and fingernails, and the feet of Anzû". [23] She was believed to feed on the blood of human infants [23] and was widely blamed as the cause of miscarriages and cot deaths. [23] Although Lamashtu has traditionally been identified as a demoness, [24] the fact that she could cause evil on her own without the permission of other deities strongly indicates that she was seen as a goddess in her own right. [23] Mesopotamian peoples protected against her using amulets and talismans. [23] She was believed to ride in her boat on the river of the underworld [23] and she was associated with donkeys. [23] She was believed to be the daughter of An. [23] Baglio, Matt (2009). The Rite: The Making of a Modern Exorcist. Doubleday Religion. ISBN 978-0-385-52270-0.In Christianity, morally ambivalent daimōn were replaced by demons, forces of evil only striving for corruption. [7] Such demons are not the Greek intermediary spirits, but hostile entities, already known in Iranian beliefs. [8]
