Difference between revisions of "Gaap"

'''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.
