Daemons Are Forever: Contacts and Exchanges in the Eurasian Pandemonium White David Gordon
A richly illustrated tapestry of interwoven studies spanning some six thousand years of history, D mons Are Forever is at once a record of archaic contacts and transactions between humans and protean spirit beings--d mons--and an account of exchanges, among human populations, of the science of spirit beings: d monology. In this virtuoso work of historical sleuthing, David Gordon White recovers the trajectories of both the "inner demons" cohabiting the bodies of their human hosts and the "outer d mons" that those same humans recognized each time they encountered them in their enchanted haunts: sylvan pools, sites of geothermal eruptions, and dark forest groves. Since the time of the Indo-European migrations, and especially following the opening of the Silk Road, a common d monological vernacular has been shared among populations ranging from East and South Asia to Northern Europe.
