Bathim
Variations: Bathin, Bathsim, Bathym, Marthim,
Mathim
Batha is an archaic word used to describe
Ethiopians, as it was believed that demons could
appear as a black-skinned man. It may also be
derived from the Latin word “mathios,” an herb
believed to keep snakes young.
The eighteenth-century book alleged to be
written by Pope Honorius III, Grimoire of Pope
Honorius (Le Grimoire du Pape Honorius), says
that Bathim is “of a deeper reach in the source of

fire, the second after Lucifer’s FAMILIAR, and
hath not his fellow for agility and affableness in
the whole Infernal Hierarchy.” Other grimoires
name him as a duke and a lieutenant general of
the forces of Hell. Commanding thirty legions
of demons, he is one of the three SERVITORS OF
FLEURETTY (see FLEURETTY ). Bathim is also
listed as one of the DUKES OF HELL and one of
the SPIRITS OF SOLOMON.
He appears before his summoner as a man with
a serpent’s tail, and according to some sources,
rides upon a pale horse. He has the ability to tele-

Variations: Bangungot (“nightmare”), Fat Old
Woman of the Post
From the demonology of the Ilocano people
of the Philippines comes the batibat (“nightmare”); they are the demons of NIGHTMARES.
Assuming the form of a huge, old, obese woman,
these nocturnal demons prey upon those who cut
down the tree that they live in so that it may be
used as a support beam in a house or as a bedpost.
They are territorial and vengeful demons who
will not let anyone sleep near their home; if
anyone should they will sit on their chest and suffocate them in their sleep. Batibat prefer to attack
those individuals who sleep in a room alone.
Should the tree that a batibat lives in be cut
down and used as a support beam in a house, the
demon will not leave its tree but take its vengeance out on the inhabitants of the home, at the
very least inflicting them with nightmares if not
trying to kill them outright in their sleep. During

a batibat-induced nightmare it is advised to bite
your thumb or wiggle your toes to wake up and
save yourself. Should a person survive a batibat
attack, they are said to have become a naluganan
(“something has taken hold”) and have gained
the ability to see and hear the supernatural.

Ba-Toye
From the demonology of the Hausa people of
West Africa comes the demon of fire, Ba-Toye.
He is responsible for burning down fields, houses,
and trees. To banish this demon, a specific ceremonial dance must be completed. A sacrifice
must be offered as well, usually a bird of a specific
color and gender pleasing to the demon.
