'''Gaap''' (also '''Tap''', '''Coap''', '''Taob''', '''Goap''') is a demon that is described in demonological grimoires such as the [[Lesser Key of Solomon]], Johann Weyer's ''[[Pseudomonarchia Daemonum]]'', and the ''[[Munich Manual of Demonic Magic]]'', as well as Jacques Collin de Plancy's ''[[Dictionnaire Infernal]]''. | '''Gaap''' (also '''Tap''', '''Coap''', '''Taob''', '''Goap''') is a demon that is described in demonological grimoires such as the [[Lesser Key of Solomon]], Johann Weyer's ''[[Pseudomonarchia Daemonum]]'', and the ''[[Munich Manual of Demonic Magic]]'', as well as Jacques Collin de Plancy's ''[[Dictionnaire Infernal]]''. He rules twenty-five or twenty-six legions of spirits. He is also one of the four cardinal spirits, of the south in the Lesser Key of Solomon, the west in the [[Pseudomonarchia Daemonum]]. Accomplished occultist Carroll "Poke" Runyon treats Gaap and Coap as different entities, although they were historically the same figure. | ||
According to [[Thomas Rudd]], Gaap is opposed by the Shemhamphorasch angel [[Ieuiah]]. | |||
Gaap | ==General appearance== | ||
Gaap appears as a prince in human form. | |||
==Abilities== | |||
Gaap incites love, provides medical care for women, transforms them to make it easier to get to a lover, and renders them infertile. Some sources instead describe Gaap as a president, giving him the power to teach philosophy and liberal arts, make others invisible, steal familiars from other magicians, make men stupid, and carry men between kingdoms. [[Johann Weyer]] also connects Gaap to necromancers, and states that he was first called upon by Noah's son Ham, along with Beleth. He was of the order of potestates. | |||
