Full Version: The demon of depression / sloth / misery
Unexplained Mysteries Discussion Forums > Unexplained Mysteries > Ghosts, Hauntings & The Paranormal
Does anyone know if there are any demons of depression throughout mythological history or in any religions? Any religion / mythology counts, from Celtic to Egyption to Islam.
The idea of "ill humours" may relate to this subject? Do you mean specifically if any historical groups made reference to "the demon of depression is possessing Ol' Jebediah" or similar reference? Perhaps if you were a little more plain in what the *intent* of your question is, rather than focusing on specific syntax (or at least explain why the phrasing is important), someone who has relevant information might be able to help you.
The Bible offers this:
QUOTE
1 Peter 5:8 Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.
QUOTE
2 Corinthians 4:8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed

Apparently, his name is Noonday. He seems to be the demon of depression most popular on google anyway.
Demon Noonday
What will they think of next?
Here's a pic of Baal from Wiki.
Looks like a goofball to me.
Funny, because my weekend emotional state demon is named "Party" and I like him pretty well. No need for excorcism here.
I'll keep looking!
