spiritual beings

Souls beyond flesh

Spiritual beings are entities believed to exist without physical bodies—gods, angels, demons, ghosts, spirits, and similar supernatural presences across religious and folk traditions.

The term encompasses benevolent and malevolent forces alike: Many cultures believe spiritual beings can influence human affairs.

In religious contexts, humans may be described as spiritual beings having a physical experience.
