This Element reveals the double-sided nature of asinine symbology and explains why the donkey has served as the companion of both demons and prophets. In addition to Arabic literature and occult rituals, the Element refers to evidence from the ancient Near East, Egypt, and Greece, as well as to medieval Jewish and Christian texts.
