Vine (demon)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Ian.thomson (talk | contribs) at 22:49, 12 January 2021 (Restoring older version that assumes the reader has no prior knowledge of the topic. You can't just start off with "Vine is a kind and earl" because a reader with no prior knowledge of the topic would assume you mean a human political ruler. "He is also knows" is just bad grammar.).

Vine is a demon listed in demonological grimoires such the Lesser Key of Solomon[note 1][1] (including Thomas Rudd's version)[2] Johann Weyer's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum,[note 2][3] and Jacques Collin de Plancy's Dictionnaire Infernal.[4]

These texts rank Vine as both a king and an earl, describing him as a lion riding a black horse and carrying a viper. They ascribe to him the power to build towers, destroy walls, disturb seas, and furthermore answer questions on secrets, witches, and events past, present, and future.[1][2][3][4]

Vine may derived from or otherwise connected to the spirit "Royne" in the Liber Officiorum Spirituum,[5] who is described only as an earl appearing like a lion-faced soldier (still riding a black horse and carrying a snake). Royne is given the power to build not only towers but houses, and can only answer questions on treasures or secrets but also has love magic, the ability to destroy enemies and consecrate objects (books especially).[6]

According to Rudd, Vine is opposed by the Shemhamphorasch angel Sealiah.[7]
