EmpousePOO, plural: empousai
Variations: Démon du Midi (“mid-day demon”),
Empusa, Empusae, Empusas, Empuse, Empusen, Mormo, Moromolykiai, “She who moves
on one leg”
In Greek, the word empouse translates as “vampire,” but technically, it was considered to be a


demon by the ancient Greeks’ own mythological
standards of classification. They defined a demon
as any creature born in another world but with
the ability to appear in the human world as a
being of flesh. In spite of this, the word was understood to mean a vampire; therefore, the
empouse is considered by some scholars to be the
oldest recorded vampire myth.
In Greek mythology the empouse, or empousai
as they are referred to collectively, are born the
red-headed daughters of the witch goddess
Hecate and act as her attendants. Their legs are
mulelike and shod with bronze shoes. Along with
its powers of illusion and shape-shifting, an
empouse will also use its persuasive abilities to
cause a man to have sexual relations with it. During the act it will drain him of his life and, on
occasion, make a meal of his flesh, much like a
SUCCUBUS.
Avoiding an attack from an empouse is fairly
easy, as long as one does not fall victim to its allurements. A thin-skinned and sensitive creature,
it will shriek in pain and flee as quickly as it can
if confronted for what it is, with use of insults
and profanities. Outrunning the vampire is also
possible, as all references to it describe the
empouse’s fastest gait as being comically slow.
In Russian folklore, the empouse appears at
harvest time as a widow. It breaks the arms and
legs of every harvester it can lay hands on.

Enediel
The FALLEN ANGEL Enediel, according to
Enochian lore, is one of the ELECTORS OF HELL
and one of the twenty-eight demonic rulers of
the lunar mansions (see ENOCHIAN RULERS OF
THE LUNAR MANSIONS). He has dominion over
the mansion Allothaim (“Belly of Aries”). Known
to cause discord, his zodiacal sign is Aries.

Witch, 41; McLean, Treatise on Angel Magic, 42.

Enenuth
In the Testament of Solomon Enenuth is listed
as one of the thirty-six Elemental World Rulers
as well as one of the seventy-two SPIRITS OF
SOLOMON that were used to build his temple.
Enenuth is described as looking like a man with
a shapeless head, similar to that of a DOG’s, and
having a face like a bird, donkey, or oxen. He is

known to change men’s hearts, steal their minds,
and cause them to become toothless. While
Enenuth was bound to King Solomon, he was
made to do heavy labor, tending to the furnaces
used for metalwork. To banish this demon, write
the words “Allazool pursue Enenuth” on a piece
of paper and then tie it around your neck.

Quarterly Review, Vol. 11, 37.

Enepsigos
Variations: Kronos
The FALLEN ANGEL Enepsigos appears as a
woman, but on each of her shoulders is another
head; each head has control over its own set of
arms. After her audience with King Solomon (see
SPIRITS OF SOLOMON) where she foretold the destruction of his temple as well as the crucifixion
of Jesus, Enepsigos was imprisoned in a water
jug, which was placed under the temple, where
it remained until its destruction. She currently
resides on the moon. Her personal adversary is
the angel Rathanael.

Quarterly Review, Vol. 11, 3.
