THE HISTORY OF DEMONOLOGY
Source:http://www.demonologyresearch.com/DVDR/dhistory.htm

Common Definitions of DEMONOLOGY
The Study or Doctrine of Demons.
It is Taught by the Demons, It is the Study of Demons, It Leads to Demons.
A Branch of Magic that Deals with Malevolent Spirits.
To Bring out the Demons by means of Magic/Conjuring.
The Art of Persuading a Demon(s) to leave it's slumber domain and go elsewhere.
To incantate a Demon and control it by means of Magic.
One who is reffered to as a Master of all that is Demonic, his arts include magic, abstract sciences, alchemy, precious stone mastery, mastery of the languages (Even that of the lower animals), History, Prophecy, Divinity, Pneumatology and Moral Philosophy.

The History of Demonology is one that is quite unclear before 1160 B.C. , however writings from Wolfram von Eschenbach (1170B.C.-1220B.C.) state that Magic was first concieved in a city called Persida and that a Nomad named Klingsor traveled there and brought back with him the art of Magically effecting whatever he wished. When Klingsor found the strength of his true powers he began to brag about how sly and cunning he was to get women into bed, but that served him no justice after he got caught sleeping with the kings wife (The Queen). Klingsor was castrated and turned into a Eunuch and never again looked favorabley upon man nor woman again, he enjoyed seeing other people suffer and that was the only thing that gave him great joy. This was one of the first recorded examples of the weak becoming empowered by sacrificing themselves to the Devils and Demons in exchange for sweet revenge. We find the word Magic used above simply because any time you entered into the world of conjuring or summoning evil or dark forces that is what it was called, later threw the centuries magic took on many forms like Elemental, White, Dark, Black,Etc and then Demonology was given it's own Category.

During Jesus Christ's Life he had many confrontations with Demons. He cast out many Demons and Devils and there are numerous accounts in the Bible of this. One of the most memorable would be the casting out of demons in the desert. This is when Jesus cast out the Demons that were in the Desert into the bodies of Pigs as they scattered away. This is one of the reasons why most of the Islamic Faith does not eat Pork. Another example would be one of the most recognized phrases in the history of Demonology " My name is Legion! ". In MARK 5:2-5:9 Jesus entered the land of Gadarenes and encountered a man who was posessed. When Jesus spoke to the Demon and said " COME OUT OF THE MAN, THOU UNCLEAN SPIRIT, WHAT IS THOU NAME? The Demon answered "MY NAME IS LEGION : FOR WE ARE MANY! "

After Jesus Christs died on the cross and the Catholic Church was founded , there were many accounts and happenings that were blamed on by Demons. Seizures were one of them, tho medical, the Catholic church looked at Seizures as the workings of Demons trying to overtake a persons body as well as his soul. It was not until the early days of medicine that these Seizures were found to be caused by the body responding to a disease in which there was no cure for at the time. This example is one of the most important reasons why Demonologists kind of Died off for hundreds of years, Skepticism. I am not saying that Demonologists were not common, they were, in fact there is more proof of Demonology between when Jesus died and the Middle Ages than any other time span in history.

From about the Middle Ages up unto the early 1800's the greatest years of Demonology (The Golden Era)was that of the European Witch Craze. Even thou thousands of people died a horrible death, it inspired many Demonologists to continue there work but trying hard not to get caught,however the Art of Demonology Died Off after the end of that era and was only carried on by a hand full of Theologians.

Today Demonology has grown just a little bit, not much, but the numbers rise every year. There are 7-10 FULL-TIME Religious Demonologists in this country that help people get rid of the Demons that this world offers. While they are all Priests,Ministers,Bishops,Etc... there is one man that is not, he is the only Lay Person Full-Time who has devoted his whole life to Demonology and the Expulsion of Evil/Demonic Spirits. Ed Warren is a Full-Time Religious Demonologist, he is unlike anyone else for the fact that he is the only Lay Person out of all the 7-10 people. Ed's Wife Lorraine is a Light Trance Medium and They work side by side to make the world a better place for alot of people who have very bad and horrific problems. While there are others like myself who do not have the years that Ed Warren has (50+ years), people in my category can only practice and study Demonology in there spare time and when there Life Permits it. It is hard to help people and offer your services 24hrs a day when you have a Full-Time Job and for that I would like to thank Ed Warren for continuing his many years of service to so many people and Devoting his whole life to getting rid of the Demons that Plague this World! God Bless you Ed & Lorraine !
