Bune
Buneis ademonlisted indemonologicalgrimoiressuch theLesser Key of Solomon[note 1][1](includingThomas Rudd's version, as Bime)[2]Johann Weyer'sPseudomonarchia Daemonum,[note 2][3]Jacques Collin de Plancy'sDictionnaire Infernal,[4]and theLivre 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 fromButo(a title for Isis),[6]as part of an overall claim that the Lesser Key of Solomon was by Solomon and rooted inMesopotamian mythology.[7]
According to Rudd, Bune is opposed by theShemhamphoraschangel Haaiah.[8]
