The Spiritual Consequences of Alcohol Consumption

The dark spiritual origins of alcohol

Everyone knows that alcohol can be harmful to health if its drunk in excess on a regular basis and the problems that it can cause for the human body go far beyond a sore head the next morning. But could it also be possible that alcohol is harmful to a person’s spiritual health?

Most people are not aware that alcohol has a profoundly spiritual basis. The word ‘alcohol’ itself comes from the Arabic ‘al-kuhl’ which translates as ‘body eating spirit’ and also has lent itself to the English term ‘ghoul’. In folklore in the Middle East, a ghoul is considered to be a demon that feeds of human bodies, sometimes corpses which they steal or living children. In addition to this, alcohol appears in ancient Middle Eastern texts as a metaphor for the ‘life water’ or the ‘spirit’ and it appears that it had an essential role to play for the alchemists of antiquity.
Jason Christoff explains that in alchemy, alcohol was “used to extract the soul essence of an entity.” It was believed that if one took alcohol into the body, then it would extract the essence of the soul. This would make the body vulnerable to wandering spirits who may well be invisible. Christoff claims that alcohol makes people behave in ways that they would normally not do because a dark demon takes control of the body. This can lead to violence, sexual promiscuity, petty criminal acts and, of course, arguments. It is also can lead to black outs, Christoff claims because “Essentially when someone goes dark after drinking alcohol or polluting themselves in many other ways, their body often becomes possessed by another entity.”
