intermediate division of the york county board of education public speaking competition with this speech i summon thee oh prince of darkness oh spirit of the pit i command thee to make thy most evil ap pearance chairperson judges teachers and students what i have just recited for you is a piece of the conjuration of demons which will supposedly conjure up the list of demons i am going to talk to you about if a real conjurer were to conjure up a demon it would be because he wanted to ask help in destroying enemies look into the future or to ask advice a demon is any supernatural being that does evil some demons simply scare people with tbeir appearances or are mischievous the first demon on my list is a demon from the far east ravana he was by far the most evil and powerful demon in the far east so evil and powerful that he could be compared with the christian satan his true form was not known because he could be any shape he wanted to be and because he was so evil ravana was killed pretas also from the far east do no actual harm to people yet only scare them with their appearances they had ghostlike bodies and a variety of faces some wore pigs masks for withro oils ccown every monday etiday 530pm7pm faces others vomited fire and therefore had skeletal faces and some had faces of flesh cut and torn by their fingernails they fed off filth and excrement and often lived in cemeteries certain hindu religions brought and in some places still do bring the pretas food more so if one of the family is believed to be reborn a pretas next ill talk to you about middie east demons first asmodeous he had three heads one of a bull the centre of a man the thrdof a ram a serpents tail gooses feet and was usually seen riding a dragon he caused men to be unfaithful to their wives and a man affected by him would need a power as great as that of st john the baptist he knew a great many sites where treasures were buried and would give them to you if you per suaded him with spells also from the middle east was belzebub he was titled by many as prince of the demons he was called belzebub because baal or bel means lord a common name for demons and therefore belzebub means lord of the flies he had a ring of fire around his head a swollen chest puffed up face listed eyebrows huge round eyes two horns from his bead big bat wings a lions tail ducks feet and was covered in thick black hair over his whole body now for some greek and roman demons cerebus had three heads one of a dog one of a fox and one of a lion a dogs body serpents tail and a thick mane of snakes his function was to be the watchdog of hades and devour all imprisoned souls that tried to escape hades is the place in greek and roman religions where all souls go good and bad the good souls are allowed to wander freely in hades but the bad ones are condemned to death or an eternity of misery also greek and roman was hecate she was often called agriope meaning savage face she was a snake with three heads a horses a dogs and a lions and three bodies all back to back there are a great many variations of descriptions of her another one describing her as much more human with only one head and one body at one point hecate became the queen and keyholder of hades and dispatched evil spirits to haunt at night under her in fluence people became afraid to harm the willow tree since she worshipped it highly and this became tradition the last demon i am going to talk to you about is one i am sure you have all heard of loki he was the fallen angel of europe he was per mitted to stay with the gods in asgard merely because he was so good looking loki had the body of an extremely good looking man he was thrown out of asgard after he killed the great god baldur out of jealousy loki being so handsome married many times and had many children one of them the most evil being hel who was cast into the underworld this is where the christians get the name for the un- derword hell it is now time for me to send the demons away with a piece of the dismissal of demons i adjure thee oh vile spirit to go out make thy departure tremble and flee quit this place although now days people find it hard to believe in demons they are a part of our past since our ancestors believed in them to this day demons have never been proved nor disproved and many religions still do believe m them karen wong
