Does Dewey make the same distinction between Occult and Folkloric Demonology?
Tara: That was funny if you've studied Taglarin mystic rites and... are a total dork... Riley: Then how come Xander didn't laugh?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Doesn't look like it. 133 is the base number for Occultism, and it seems to all flow from there. There's a listing for Demonology in the 200s, the Biblical section, but that seems to be it.
Demonology--Case studies comes under 133.42.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
133.4 is the base Dewey number for Demonology
You'd have thought it would be 66.6

It'd have to be 666.6, because all Dewey number have three numbers before the decimal.
666 is for Ceramics. There isn't anything for 666.6

Hey. New board.
WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO SAVE LETTERS? THERE IS NO LETTER RATIONING IN PLACE!!! THIS IS NOT A FRAKKING MOBILE 'PHONE!!!
Hee. Maybe he/she/it is a hunt-and-peck typer. That's been the only explanation my abbreviation-obsessed friends will give me for the constant use of "ur" et cetera that I meet with even the slightest amount of acceptance. Very slightest.
I seriously hope my good example will convince them it's worth the slightly increased typing time so as not to look like a fool, though. Or at least make them learn to touch-type.

You make a fair point about the touch typing, actually. I'm so used to it now that I possibly don't take into account the fact that there are many people who can't type properly.

...nope, nope, still not mustering up a sincere sense of sympathy for them. Still thinking "Well LEARN how to type, damn it!!!"
...hang on, I'm sure I can see some kids on my lawn...

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Throw copies of Mavis Beacon at them, Fay. It's the only way to save the future of the English language

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The future of the English language doesn't care about us.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Even apart from obviously not being a Sci-Fi fan, that's just crazy talk.
