"The divine protection against these malicious beings is secured by obedience to His commandments (holy living). 'If a man performs a religious precept, one angel is assigned to him; if he performs two precepts, two angels are assigned to him; if he performs all the precepts, many angels are assigned to him; as it is said, 'For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways' (Psalm xci. 11). Who are these angels: They are his guardians from the harmful spirits; as it is said, 'A thousand will fall at thy side and ten thousand at thy right hand' (ibid. 7)' (Tannchuma Mishpatim & 19). Everyman's Talmud pp. 270.
"Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, 'Lord even the demons are subject to us in Your name.' And He (Jesus) said to them, 'I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold I give you authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.'" Luke 10:17-20.
"Although demons are normally invisible, yet there are means of detecting their presence and even seeing them. 'Who wishes to perceive their footprints should take sifted ashes and sprinkle them around his bed (powder also works). In the morning he will see something resembling the footprints of a cock (The Talmud identifies 'Succot Benoth' (2 Kings xvii. 30) with the hen, and 'Negral' with the cock.'"
"He who wishes to see a demon should take the after-birth of a black she-cat, the offspring of a black she-cat, the first-born of a first-born, roast it in the fire, pulverize it, then fill his eyes with it, and he will see a demon. He must pour the powder into an iron tube and seal it with an iron signet, lest he come to harm." Everyman's Talmud pp. 262.
Note: Please do not try the recipe for how to see a demon. It is illegal and inhumane to kill a cat and it is very dangerous to your eyes. You could go blind. It is probably only a superstition, but if it is not just a superstition it opens one up to all kinds of evil and spiritual attack. This could be fatal.
"While they are liable to be met anywhere, there are certain places which they particularly frequent. Notable among them are dark, unclean, and dangerous spots and water (The same beliefs are among the Muslims).
A favorite haunt is ruined buildings...Another favorite haunt is the latrine. 'Whoever is modest in a privy is delivered of three things: from serpents, scorpions, and evil spirits.' Another favorite haunt is wells and fields... Evil spirits shun sunlight...and for this reason peril lurks in shadows. Everyman's Talmud pp. 263-265.
Jesus said that they seek dry places.
Evil spirits not only attack human beings but also animals, which, as a result, become maddened and a source of danger. Dogs are specially liable to possession by them. Everyman's Talmud pp. 267.
The early Rabbinical Sages believed that demons could be both male and female. This belief is even held among the Muslims.
"A female demon said to her son, 'Fly from the service-tree, because it killed your father and will also kill you'.
The Principal female demon was Lillith, who was thought of as a creature with long hair (Erub.100b)." Everyman's Talmud pp. 265 & 267.
"Since the human being was so exposed to the harmful activities of evil spirits, means had to be devised to circumvent their mischievous designs. Some of these have already been indicated, such as incantations and amulets. Formulas have been quoted for the purpose of banishing demons in special circumstances; but the general rule is given: 'To exorcise a demon say, 'Be split, be accursed, broken, and banned, son of mud, son of an unclean one, son of clay, like Shamgaz, Mericaz, and Istermaah. Everyman's Talmud pp. 267.
"An exceptional knowledge of such incantations for the overcoming of demons was attributed to King Solomon. 'Many spirits and demons did Solomon vanquish' (Exod. R xxx. 16), although the power deserted him later in life because, as it is said, 'Until Solomon sinned he ruled over the demons' (Pesikta 45b).'"
"An interesting reference to the subject is found in Josephus: 'God also enabled him to learn the art which expels demons, which is useful and works cures for men. He composed charms also by which diseases are alleviated. And he left behind him forms of exorcisms, by which people drive away demons so that they never return, and this method of cure is of very great value unto this day; for I have seen a certain man of my own country, whose name was Eleazar, curing people possessed by demons in the presence of Vespasian and his sons and captains and the whole of his soldiers. The manner of the cure was as follows; he put a ring that had under its seal one of those sorts of roots mentioned by Solomon to the nostrils of the demoniac, and then drew the demon out through his nostrils as he smelt it; and when the man fell down immediately, he adjured the demon to return into him no more, still making mention of Solomon, and reciting the incantation which he had composed' (Antiq. viii, ii5)." Everyman's Talmud pp. 268.
"The commentator Rashi, mentions as verses commonly included in amulets: 'I will put none of these diseases upon thee which I have put upon the Egyptians, for I am the Lord that healeth thee' (Exod. xv. 26), and Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flieth by day' (Os. xci. 5)." Everyman's Talmud pp. 269.
"Besides the carrying of written amulets, the recital of certain Scriptural texts was supposed to afford protection against demons. 'Whoever reads the Shema (Deut. 6:4-9; 11:13-21; Num 15:37-41) upon his bed is as though he holds a two-edged sword in his hand (to ward off evil spirits); as it is said, 'Let the high priests of God be in in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand'

Exorcisms are not to be taken lightly. Besides the tools of the exorcist one must consider the spiritual readiness of the exorciser and his team. Exorcism is not a parlor game. It is tough spiritual warfare with the powers of evil. It is a battle that one can not afford to loose. Do not try this at home. Get a genuine servant of God.
