Demons are the Pagan Gods of Ancient Times

[Blaine91555]

Other favorite demons are some of the spirits from Japan, as well as some of the ones talked about in books about masks in the Northwest (Tlingit, Salish, Alaskan Native Americans) -- cannibal otter people and other demonic things that stalked the villages, particularly in the winter.

I've done some reading about Alaskan natives' mythology and also about their myths surrounding animals.

I ran into an Inuit Shaman walking around downtown Anchorage a half dozen times during the first few years I lived here. When he would see me he would walk right up to me and start talking to me. I don't know what attracted him to me. I might make a thread about that at some time as there was an interesting story surrounding one of my encounters with him.
