The term "demonic arts" refers to practices and beliefs associated with the invocation or manipulation of supernatural entities often labeled as demons. These arts can include rituals, spells, and various forms of divination aimed at gaining power, knowledge, or influence over others. Historically, such practices have been viewed with suspicion and often linked to witchcraft or heresy. In many cultures, the demonic arts are seen as a way to communicate with the spirit world, seeking guidance or assistance from malevolent forces. This has led to a rich tapestry of folklore and mythology, where figures like witches and sorcerers are depicted as practitioners of these arts, often facing societal backlash or persecution.
