Demonology is the branch of religion which deals with evil spirits or demons, as distinguished from Angelo-logy, which deals with good spirits . In every religion the existence of evil spirits is recognized. The spirits or ghosts of the dead have generally been regarded with awe and fear (except in Christianity and Judaism) and worshiped or propitiated by the living, but they are to be distinguished from spirits which have never inhabited a human body, or demons proper, which are frequently associated with the powers of nature.
The distinction between good and evil spirits depends more upon the sphere of their action than upon their nature. Fire and disease are evil when they attack the individual, but beneficent when invoked against his enemies. As the idea of God progressed so that of the evil forces opposed to Him developed too. In polytheistic religions, the many gods are balanced by a multitude of demons and spirits, each often having its especial sphere assigned to it. Exorcism is an ancient and particular form of prayer, which the Church uses against the power of the devil.
