Beautiful reflections! I'm biased as a Catholic of course, but I think that people forget that some of the spirits in this world can also be angels. Every person traditionally has a guardian angel, for instance. There are also saints who can be understood as the genius loci of various places (or causes or classes of people). Though the two are by no means identical, there is indeed more in common between more traditional forms of Christianity and paganism than a lot of American Christians are comfortable with admitting.

Appreciate it
It was just his dog that raped him in his sleep

So you think your own relatives who told you of demonic events were just lying? That you’re the only one who’s finally got it figured out? The hubris!
I merely believe that, in the transmission of oral tales, "black demon" may have been contorted into a different meaning
