One of the
FALLEN ANGELS
and 72 spirits of
SOLOMON
.
A duke in
HELL
, Bune appears as a dragon with three
heads, one of them being that of a man. Despite his
frightening appearance, he speaks with a divine
voice. He can bring a man riches and make him elo-
quent and wise. He changes the places of the dead,
causing
DEMONS
to crowd around the sepulchres.
Bune answers to all demands. He commands 30
legions of demons.
According to Johan Weyer, Bune is a most powerful demon,
one of the Grand Dukes of the Infernal Regions. His form is
that of a man. He does not speak save by signs only. He removes
corpses, haunts cemeteries, and marshals the demons
around tombs and the places of the dead. He enriches and renders
eloquent those who serve him. Thirty legions of the infernal
army obey his call. The demons under his authority are
called Bunis and are regarded by the Tartars as exceedingly
evil. Their power is great and their number immense. But their
sorcerers are ever in communication with these demons by
means of whom they carry on their dark practices.
