There are a number of Semitic spirits and demons some are described below however more will be described later in greater depth in later history when during the 18th century AD we will explore the hight of Occult demonology.

Estries: Estries are vampiric spirits able to shape-shift, they are related to Lilith and the succubi and are known to seduce and torment men as they sleep. If an Estrie is wounded it can heal itself by eating bread and salt given to it by the one who wounded her, she may use seduction to achieve this exchange. Estries are able to fly when they let their hair down and are known to have a hidden horrific face that emerges when they feed on human blood. Estries are killed in the same way as vampires - with silver, burning or decapitation and it is recommended to put soil in their mouths before burying them to prevent them from rising again.

Zar: A Zar in its true form resembles a leopard however it has the power to possess the mind of others but it only takes the minds of unmarried women. This spirit usually takes young women as its victims and causes them to stand and stare into space growling ferociously causing them to writhe terribly as they do. The Zar can be exorcised and tradditionally whipping was said to be an effective remedy. The Zar cannot be destroyed but can be forced into other vessels and was sometimes allowed to posses people already possessed by other spirits to drive out the other demonic influence in a belief in evil working against evil this worked because although Zar’s are powerful they are easy to exorcise and cause much less damage than other demons of who cause insanity, torment, pain, disease, perversions and potentially deaths.
Zophasemin: A species of intelligent creatures in the shape of spheres who observe the heavens they may be related to the Grigori “Watchers”, Ophanim or Galgalim angels or the Sumerian Igigi.
