By: F. Levine Judaism developed a very rich demonology which was often fed by the cultures that surrounded the Jewish communities throughout the world. Many early accounts of demons in Jewish texts bear a striking resemblance to Egyptian and Persian ideas, while creatures borrowed from French and German folklore were recognized or adopted in the Middle Ages. While many of these supernatural creatures were evil or at least malevolent, what I find particularly fascinating is the very un-Christian notion that not all demons were anti-God, nor were all sent by Satan. Would you believe me if I told you it was believed that some "Jewish demons" worked for God, punishing sinners?
