By what power do pagans cast out demons by?

Pagan Demons

There are hundreds of pagan religions all of which believe different things. Hindus have a different world view from Taoists yet both are pagan. If a particular pagan religion believes in demons then it will have a ritual for casting them out. If they don't believe in demons, they will have no such ritual. You would need to look at each religion separately.

No power. Only ignorant people who want to believe the nonsense they've been spoonfed their whole lives believe Pagans use demons, only because the deities Pagans worship are considered demons by one religion or another.

And for the record, I don't believe in demons either.

Pagans don't cast out demons. How do you cast out something you don't even believe exists? I have known pagan priests to help get rid of dark spirits, but that is not the same as 'demons' or 'devils' in the Christian sense.

I think the demons are a culturally understood explanation of mental illnesses and frightening diseases such as epilepsy. Jesus cast out demons more or less the same way He healed diseases. Demons are something of an anomaly in the bible. There's no real explanation for them, and they just kind of appear in the text more or less from nowhere. It could be cultural contamination from African religions to the south.

I'm Wiccan and I don't so much believe in demons, just bad energies and spirits. I've encountered bad spirits before, throughout my life in fact, and I simply tell them to get out. Some nights I'll wear my rose quartz pentacle if I feel a malevolent prescence just to be sure, but generally I find if one stops being afraid they go. It might even be the boiler making infrasound rather than bad energies, but better to be safe than sorry

IF DEMONS EXIST then a pagan would cast them out by the power of the GODDESS. Only anti-pagan people would equate the GODDESS with SATAN. If you are a Wiccan who believes in the GODDESS then she is good and HATES SATAN and will throw out his demons if the Wiccan invokes her.

In reference to " Casting out Demons " I see that it is all in the Wording, to Cast out Demons, is to inflict bad bogie upon someone else; as to cast Demons out of someone, is to help them get over their dilemma's; i.e.. Psychoanalytical theorem. 030008/2014

I'm pagan and demons are not in my pantheon either.

Selfishness and greed. They need to be taught that they are not the only person on the planet and to have respect for human life and when they are consciously hurting some one to know the difference between right and wrong
