Ahriman created the desert spirit-demons known as Daevas, to serve as direct opposites to the celestial angels known as the Holy Immortals or Amesha Spentas. For example, the demon Druj, who represents Falsehood, was created to be the polar opposite of Asha Vahishta, the archangel of Truth and Righteousness. Several of the daevas were once sacred Hindu deities who were brought to Persia and transformed into evil spirits. In fact, the term daeva or deva originated in India as a name that meant "shining ones," and it was applied to both gods and demigods. The daevas are not necessarily eternal, but they have been around for a long time, spreading disease and misery all over the world. They are also keen on leading mankind astray by encouraging people to worship them, rather than pray to a creator-god. The daevas are supposed to be kept at bay by living a clean and decent life, and enjoying the blessings of creation. Unfortunately, even the most upright people are vulnerable to daeva possession for approximately nine days after death. Evil people, on the other hand, can be possessed while still alive, and there are several purifying ceremonies and specific prayers that can be used to drive the vile daevas away.
