The hierarchy of demons can vary depending on the specific belief system or culture. Some demonologies recognize a single supreme ruler, while others depict a more complex structure with multiple layers of authority.
Possession and Exorcism
Possession is a central concept in demonology, referring to the belief that a demon can enter and control the body of a human being. This is often seen as a manifestation of demonic power and malevolence.
Exorcism is the ritual practice of expelling a demon from a possessed individual. It involves the use of prayers, incantations, and other rituals to force the demon to leave the body. The effectiveness of exorcism is a matter of debate, with varying beliefs and practices across different cultures and religions.
