Demonology: List of Demon Names, Devils, & Evil Spirits

Why These Entites Were Included

What is evil is often defined by what one believes. One religion’s gods become another religion’s demons. For many of the demons listed on this site, that is the case because my initial focus when creating this site was on Judeo-Christian concepts of evil.

Some criteria I used to decide whether to include an entity on this list include:

(1) Is associated with the Judeo-Christian Devil (either with biblical writings, non-canonical writings, or Christian fictional works like Dante’s Inferno, John Milton’s Paradise Lost, or the many Faust Myths)

(2) Is included in a list of demons by a demonologist of the 14th -19th centuries (e.g. Pseudomonarchia daemonum (1583) or Dictionnaire Infernal (1863)) or is included in a magickal text (e.g. the Goetia)

(3) Is associated with Death or the Underworld

(4) Has destructive characteristics (ie kills, drinks blood, causes destruction for fun, etc)

(5) Is considered a “natural evil” or destructive force of nature

(6) Relates to the “trickster” archetype defined by CG Jung
