The Malleus Maleficarum of Heinrich Kramer and James Sprenger.Rabbi Joel performed Exorcisms that drove away the Demons. The court decided against the Demons, saying that their abodes were deserts and wastelands, not the homes of men. In addition, the Demon had forced the previous owner into sexual relations. The Demon children were not legitimate “seed of men” and so had no legal rights. The new homeowners said they had lawfully purchased the house. The man and all his heirs were now dead, and the Demon children demanded possession of the house. The man was persuaded by a rabbi to break off his affair, but the Demon demanded that the cellar be given to it and the offspring as inheritance. The case was tried with Rabbi Joel and an invisible Demon advocate, who could be heard.Īccording to the Demons, the previous owner of the home had engaged in intercourse with a succubus, who had borne hybrid children. They claimed the house belonged to them, and they demanded the opportunity to prove it in a court of law. He was able to induce the Demons to disclose their identity. Local exorcists failed to expel the Demons, and so an expert was summoned, Rabbi Joel Baal Shem of Zamosz. The owners of the home were frightened into leaving.

Demons then set up housekeeping inside and created severe disturbances. A young man forced his way into the cellar of a locked home and was later found dead on the threshold. After several days, the young man said the succubus left him.Īt the end of the 17th century, an odd lawsuit was tried in court in Posen, Germany. Finally, the local bishop ordered him to go away to another place and devote himself to prayer and fasting. The young man claimed that he tried to get rid of the succubus, but to no avail. The succubus visited him in bed every night and stayed until dawn. The Lord’s Prayer and holy water also were said to work a cure.įrancesco-Maria Guazzowrote of one alleged succubus incident in Compendium Maleficarum (1608), in which a succubus forced herself on a young man near Aberdeen, Scotland.

But it was all an illusion, for the boy suddenly died again and immediately stank abominably. He complied, and his son returned to the living. Abrahel told him that if he worshipped her, he would restore the boy to life. He was so overcome with grief and guilt that he contemplated suicide. A man named Petrone Armenterious of Dalheim was persuaded by a succubus, Abrahel, to murder his son. Nicholas Remy wrote in Demonolatry of a succubus case that happened in 1581. If a succubus assaulted a man, it was probably not his fault, according to Demonologists of the day. The prevailing belief of the time was that women were more licentious than men and, therefore, offered more opportunity for incubi.

Succubi were not as prevalent as incubi in witch hunt cases. During the European witch hunts, succubi were agents of the Devil, who continually tempted men to commit sexual sins, sometimes by promising them immortality in return. They visit men in their sleep-especially men who sleep alone-and cause erotic dreams, nightmares, and nocturnal emissions. Succubi appear in the flesh as beautiful, voluptuous women. The succubus, along with its male counterpart, the Incubus, appears in ancient mythologies.

A Succubus is a Demon who takes the form of a beautiful woman in order to seduce men.
