Midday Demons
It was the belief of ancient peoples that certain demons became visible especially toward midday to those with whom they had a pact. They appeared in the form of men or of beasts, and would allow themselves be enclosed in a symbolic character, a figure, a vial, or in the interior of a hollow ring.
