Sukkubi biography

Makhov A. Experience of the dictionary. The idea of ​​the incubat combines two ideas: the first of them is about gravity, immobilizing and suffocating a person at night; The second and probably secondary - about night sexual intercourse with a certain inhuman being a demon.

The idea of ​​the demon-fool dates back to the image of the Night aggressor “Mara”, who is sitting on the chest and causing suffocation and immobilization, present in the mythology of many peoples. Hence the term Incubus in the modern theory of sleep: a classic nightmare in adults, forcing a person to wake up with a feeling of heaviness in his chest. Until the XII century. Exactly as a common folk belief, Macrobia tells about incubus: “The vision of Phantasma or Visum descends on us at the moment between wakefulness and sleep, in the so -called“ first cloud of sleep ”.

In this drowsy state, a person thinks that he is still awake, and imagines that he sees the ghosts rushing on him or wandering around to this type and incubus belongs to this type: according to folk beliefs, he jumps on people in a dream and crushes their heaviness, which they may actually feel "macrobia. I, 3, 7. A stormy interest in the topic arises from the XII century.

The theory of the sexual side of the incubat was one of the first to develop the Parisian bishop of Overnsky approx. A description of the night visit of incubus is in the Golden Legend Jacob Vuraginsky: when St. Edmund, after long nightly studies, “suddenly fell asleep, forgetting to cross and think about the passions of our Lord, the devil was leaning on him, and so hard that he couldn’t cross himself with a single hand and did not know what to do, however, by the mercy of God, he remembered his blessed passions, and then the enemy lost all his strength and fell from St.

By the 16th century, the doctrine of incubate is enriched with a huge number of conflicting details. There are a lot of assumptions about the nature of sexual intercourse with the incubus: it proceeds “with the highest pleasure” Grillandus, “treatise on witches”, “unusually sensually” Jacques, or, on the contrary, “he does not bear any pleasure, but horror” M. Gvazzo, “compensation of witch”, he is “cold and unpleasant” Remi; After such an act, its participants feel “upset and weakened”, and a man whom Sukkub has not let go for a month, even died, a mushroom, the ideas about the extreme aggressiveness of the incubus, Tom from Kantempra, claims that the incubs attack women even in confession; According to Luther, the favorite place of the incuban ambush is the water, where, having accepted the appearance of water, they copulate with their victims and conceive offspring about the mortal danger of relations with them.

The English monk Thomas Valsingam tells OK. The connection with the succubus could last decades for decades, it seems, cannot be said about the connections with the incuban. So, the priest-witch Benois Bern, burned at the age of eighty years, admitted that he lived with a demon named Hermione for forty years; At the same time, the demon remained invisible to those around Boden.

The demonomania of witches, the Middle Ages left numerous legends about the seducers-Sukkubs, attacking and holy hermits, and valiant knights; These succubi often find a tendency to werewolf, which is related by images like Melusin. Rolli realized that the night visitor was “not a woman, but the devil in the form of a woman,” said to himself: “Oh Jesus, how precious your blood is! The same action saves at the last moment and Sir of Persival - the hero of the novel about King Arthur.

To the island on which Sir Persival abides, at noon a ship with a “woman of great beauty” swims over; She treats the knight with dishes, as well as wine in an amount clearly excessive for Sir Persival, and invites her to escort her to bed; When they fit there naked, the knight's gaze accidentally falls on the red cross on the handle of his sword, this leads him to his senses, he makes the sign of the cross, and the succubus disappears, the death of Arthur, II, incuban and succubi often take the appearance of the dead.

In the story told in the XIII century. Walter Mep, and later repeated and Luther in “Territory conversations”, his dead, recently buried his wife returned to a knight; She invited him to stay with him until he utters a kind of curse. The knight lived with an embodied devil for several years quite happily, and Sukkub even gave birth to his children, but one fine day the knight said the fatal curse in forgetfulness, and the devil instantly disappeared into the story told by the Polish author of the 17th century.

Adrian Regenvolos supposedly had a place in the city of White - despite the fact that she perfectly understood who she was dealing with, she agreed. A uniform marriage took place, but without witnesses: after all, all close battens knew that Zachariah was dead. Despite the precautions accepted, soon the rumor spread everywhere that the whit was married to the spirit, and the people flocked from everywhere to look at the newlyweds.This popularity brought a lot of money, since the spirit knew how to properly prophesy and willingly engaged in this for the bribe; However, he answered questions only with a previously enlisted consent of his wife.

Three years later, a certain Italian magician, whose domestic demon slipped away from the magic ring where he was enclosed, recognized the fugitive’s whips in his husband, enclosed him again in his ring and took him to Italy Regenvolos, in the legends of the incubat, which ranges the legend of Melusin in all the frets, a person often leads to a smoke of an incuban and a completely happy life and has a completely happy life and has a completely happy life Successful offspring, but in the end, the succubus incuba still disappears after a violation of a certain ban on his mortal partner.

Edrick Wald, the West-English feudal in the story of Walter Meep, stumbled at night after hunting a brightly lit house in which he found a company of women, of course, the succubes, one of which was so beautiful that the knight, realizing the whole danger of such a connection, still grabbed it and, overcoming the fierce resistance of its friends, took away home, and later married it to later her.

Edrick later violated the taboo on him by his wife-Sukkub-to never mention her “sisters” in whose company Edrick met her-and the demon’s wife disappeared into the air, leaving, however, the husband of the beautiful son of Elfnot literally: the courage of the elves, who became the pious Christian of CIT. Many extraordinary personalities of the Middle Ages and Renaissance were considered the offspring of incubs and women.

Children who are allegedly born from demons and in fact when using someone else's seed are often stronger and better than usual: this is explained by the fact that “demons can know the power of pouring seed”, choose the most favorable time for intercourse and select the most suitable woman. It turns out that the inquisitors strangely attributed to the demons the concern for improving the human race.

Meanwhile, the incubate was mainly explained by the birth of villains, although outstanding: Malefici, “monsters” are born from the connection of witches and incubs; The child of a certain Angela de la Bart had the head of the wolf and the tail of the snake Kissling, the son of the devil, for example, considered Attila Pokoff, II, 6. The famous Robert Devil, the Duke of Normandy, the father of Wilhelm the conqueror, who became famous for his incredible cruelty, turned into a mythical generation of a demon and duchess in the French medieval literature Normandy; Having lived a life full of atrocities, he repented and became a holy hermit - from which it follows that, according to medieval ideas, the son of the demon “does not answer for the father” and maybe, unlike the demon himself, to count on the redemption of sins and salvation.

The young woman has a connection with the demon who appeared under her bush of hazel in the appearance of the “noble lord”; He himself warns his victim that the child will be a dick and cruel from him, and the child really shows a ferocious disposition from birth: he dries his chest to all his nurse, so in nine months nine nannies die. Having become an adult, he makes a lot of atrocities, for example, burns in the church of nuns.

Once, at the time of thought, the Gauter asks the mother, who he is actually, and she tells him the whole truth, after which the son of the incubus repents and receives forgiveness from Pope Kissling, to a few bright personalities born as a result of the incubat, we can attribute the wizard Merlin; However, it is characteristic that the literary versions of the legends of Merlin strive to portray his wonderful abilities by the consequence of not his semi -democratic nature, but the divine intervention in the initially vile plan of the demons.

So, in the novel "Merlin" Lavvich Skornyak approx. One of them, who has the gift of “sowing the seed in women and force them to get pregnant,” suggests generating a monster capable of composing an antithesis to Christ. The virgin, chosen to fulfill this plan, really makes sin at the time of insanity, but quickly comes to his senses and turns with a prayer to God, who turns the conceived child from the monster into a good and wise wizard.

Under the influence of mystic-esoteric teachings, and above all neoplatonism with its benevolent intermediary demons between the earthly and mountain world there is a desire for the poetization of the incubat, whose origins are probably the Italian theologian Lodovko Sinistra, who declared in his treatise “On demoniacism and incubah” con. XVII century. This thought discovered the way to the lofty image of a demon-lover in the romantic poetry of the XIX century.

In Russian poetry there is a unique poem, in detail, with physiological accuracy, conveying all the horror of the phenomenon of the night guest - incubus. This is the poem "Steering" by Dmitry Petrovich Oznobishin.
