medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
One of Jacobus de Voragine's sermons on St. Nicholas talks about the five
dangers a soul faces when leaving the body at death: demons, punishment,
remaining sins, doubt of the way, and shrieking. It's an obscure reference,
but if you're interested, I can send you the Latin.
Best,
Suzanne

Not hanging around in clouds, but... It is a commonplace for demons
to be hovering around moribund evil people, i.e. the Rich Man of the
parable, waiting for the soul in the form of a small child to exit
the body through the mouth. If you would like pictures, let me know
and I can provide some links.
