Bune

Short description: Demon

Bune is a demon listed in demonological grimoires such the Lesser Key of Solomon^{[note 1]}^[1] (including Thomas Rudd's version, as Bime)^[2] Johann Weyer's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum,^{[note 2]}^[3] Jacques Collin de Plancy's Dictionnaire Infernal,^[4] and the Livre des Esperitz.^{[note 3]}^[5]

All of these texts describe Bune as a duke who is able to move the dead, make one rich, and answer a variety of questions.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5] The Livre des Esperitz claims that Bune rules 35 legions of spirits,^[5] while the other texts only give him 30 legions to command.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] The other texts further describe Bune's appearance as a three headed dragon (with one head being human) and give him the additional powers of making devils gather around graves and making one wise and charismatic.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]

Practicing occultist Carroll "Poke" Runyon suggests that the name ultimately derives from Buto (a title for Isis),^[6] as part of an overall claim that the Lesser Key of Solomon was by Solomon and rooted in Mesopotamian mythology.^[7]

According to Rudd, Bune is opposed by the Shemhamphorasch angel Haaiah.^[8]
