The evil spirits, also known as malevolent entities, are supernatural beings often believed to possess negative or malicious intentions towards humans or the world at large. According to various cultural and religious beliefs, evil spirits are thought to originate from the spirit realm or the domain of the supernatural, sometimes associated with Hell, the underworld, or equivalent realms of darkness and despair.
These spirits are commonly associated with engaging in harmful activities, such as causing disease, chaos, misfortune, or death, and their actions are often perceived as influenced by malevolence, envy, vengeance, or a desire to corrupt and disrupt the natural order of existence. Evil spirits are often depicted as cunning, deceitful, and able to manipulate and infiltrate human lives, seizing control over individuals, tempting them towards sin or destructive actions.
Different traditions and mythologies have assigned different names and characteristics to these malevolent beings, such as demons, devils, maleficent entities, or wicked spirits. In some belief systems, the term "evil spirits" encompasses a more general category that includes various supernatural malevolent entities spanning different hierarchies, while in others, it may refer to specific types or individuals within this broad group.
Protection against evil spirits is often sought through rituals, prayers, or the invocation of benevolent forces, and the study of their nature and methods is a common theme in mythology, folklore, and religious texts worldwide.
