demonology for beginners

[welsh]

Ok, this is a bit off beat, but what the heck.

I saw this on the web and thought it might be interesting. My interest- reading the Club Dumas and watching the film Fraility, as well as dabbling in horror writing.

So if you are interested- check it out. A Catholic view on the topic (although from the early 20th Century)

But note-

And with reference to the many false and dangerous forms of this demonic science we may fitly adapt the well-known words of Albertus Magnus on the subject of theology and say of demonology, A daemonibus docetur, de daemonibus docet, et ad daemones ducit ("It is taught by the demons, it teaches about the demons, and it leads to the demons"). For very much of the literature that comes under this head of demonology is tainted with errors that may well owe their origin to the father of falsehood, and much of it again, especially those portions which have a practical purpose (what may be called the ascetical and mystical demonology) is designed to lead men to give themselves to the service of Satan.

So you've been warned.

The question here is who needs all this mumbo jumbo? I mean who are these people that feel the need for religion, demonology or whatever? And furthermore what is it that they need?
One point of view would be that the weak and/or desperate feel the need of a higher entity that controls their lives.

"God is dead" Nietzsche

"Nietzsche is dead." God

This "demonology" will only "corrupt" those who are willing or eager to be "tainted" so to say. Men have plenty of questions to ask. The question here is how far are you willing to go in order to get them?
anyway THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE 8)
