Does sulfur stink when burned?
English translations of the Bible commonly referred to sulfur as "brimstone", giving rise to the name of 'fire and brimstone' sermons, in which listeners are reminded of the fate of eternal damnation that supposedly awaits the unbelieving and unrepentant. It is from this part of the Bible that Hell is implied to "smell of sulfur", although sulfur, in itself, is in fact odorless. The "smell of sulfur" usually refers to either the odor of hydrogen sulfide, e.g. from rotten egg, or of burning sulfur, which produces sulfur dioxide, the smell associated with burnt matches. The smell emanating from raw sulfur originates from a slow oxidation in the presence of air. Hydrogen sulfide is the principal odor of untreated sewage and is one of several smelly sulfur-containing components of flatulence (along with sulfur-containing mercaptans). hope it helps!
Is sulphur used to ward off evil spirits or does it shows the presence of evil?
Sulfur does not indicate presence of entities. Evil entities/demons have three main smells, Urine, Feces or Vomit. Sulfur actually wards from them, placing some powdered in shoes is said to offer protection from attachments of entities which tend to latch on to the feet where the aura is most thin. Sulfur was corrupted by Christian ideals of hell. Our bodies are 1-2% sulfur. Most protective things have sulfur in them, such as garlic!
