RE: Mythology & Religion - a few thoughts

in #mythology6 years ago

I think it is interesting that demons were once named daemons in Latin. The word is said to have meant "guiding spirits" or "lesser gods." But we know that daemons are a feature in terms of computing also.

daemon: a background process that handles requests for services such as print spooling and file transfers, and is dormant when not required.

It's interesting to think that the old gods, many of which have been branded as demons by Christianity and told are something to stay away from, may in fact be tools created, by God or by men, to aid us in our journey of life.

I know that the majority consider these spirits/gods to be simply a fiction. But there is no doubt to be me that those who go seeking for them, do fin them. Many modern magicians practice spirit evocation and invocation, though a lot of them express the belief that in doing so they are accessing a part of their own subconscious more so than an external spirit.

I do not know the truth of the matter. But, my thoughts are that in ancient times, with less distractions and more open minds, the veil between man and gods was likely thinner. If people were learning their languages from something that dwells within, then it would explain why the same symbols show up all over the world.
