Avarus
From the fifteenth century Christian manuscript Librum de Nigromancia, said to belong to
a priest named Johannes Cunalis of Munich,
Bavaria, comes the demon Avarus, a Latin name
meaning “greedy” or “to crave.” Avarus was said
to be one of the three demons summoned by a
French sorcerer in 1437 by the name of Jubertus
of Bavaria, the other two demons being LUXURIOSUS and SUPERBUS. The demon of avarice, as
his name would imply, he is described as having
eyes glowing like sulfur-fueled fire. A diurnal
demon, Avarus helped Jubertus of Bavaria discover and recover goods, but in exchange forbade
him to ever drink holy water, do good deeds, or
kiss the cross. Should he ever see the cross, he
will flee from it.
