all cultures that traditionally believed in demons also believed in literal magic and the efficacy of physical charms and the magical properties of certain substances. the belief in demons/spirits and the belief in magic are historically related -and supported by exactly the same types and quantities of "evidence".
if you believe that demons are real entities, who are you to say that they don't respond to ritual and sacred substances? burning herbs, salt, and yes holy waters and oils, all have looooong traditions of having the power to effect the spirit realm. after all, if demons can effect the physical world then the physical world ought to be able to sometimes effect them (in combination with human intent, ritual, and emotions).
not that i'm buying the OP's "demon chupa" post....... |

Luna, I have never had any experiences with demons. All I know is how Jesus and the apostles dealt with them. They didn't rely on herbs or holy water or things made with hands of men but simply used prayer, the name of Jesus, and the power of the Holy Spirit to overcome them. |
