Naberius
Naberius is a figure that appears in demonology and is often associated with the early modern grimoires that catalog the various demons and spirits of Christian demonology. Naberius, also known as Cerberus or Naberus, is described in these texts as a powerful demon or spirit, commanding twenty-nine legions of demons. He is depicted as a valiant marquis of Hell, knowledgeable in the arts and sciences, and capable of restoring lost dignities and honors.
Characteristics and Abilities[edit | edit source]
Naberius is often depicted as a crow or a black crane that, upon request, changes into a man with a hoarse voice. His ability to impart cunning and boldness, along with his skill in the arts and sciences, particularly rhetoric, makes him a unique figure among the demons cataloged in grimoires. He is also said to be capable of making spirits that are under his command invisible and restoring lost titles and honors, although he is known to be deceitful.
Historical References[edit | edit source]
Naberius's most notable mention is in the Lesser Key of Solomon, specifically within the Ars Goetia, which is a section dealing with the summoning of demons. The Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, another influential demonology grimoire, also mentions Naberius, providing similar descriptions and attributes. These texts place Naberius within a hierarchy of demons and offer insights into the practices of summoning and negotiating with such entities in early modern European occult traditions.
Cultural Impact[edit | edit source]
The figure of Naberius, like many other demons from grimoires, has found a place in modern occultism and popular culture. His depiction varies from a malevolent entity to a source of arcane knowledge, reflecting broader cultural fascinations with the supernatural and the boundaries between good and evil. In contemporary media, Naberius may appear in literature, games, and films, often drawing on his traditional attributes but adapted to fit modern narratives.
