A succubus (plural form succubi) is a female sex demon. The word succubus is derived from Latin word succuba, meaning “paramour” (from succub[āre]) and “to lie under” (suc- “under” + cubāre “to lie” + -a). One of the earliest examples of the succubus myth is the folkoric Lilith, first wife of Adam, who – after fleeing from him during a fight by invoking the name of God – became a succubus, creeping back into Eden to copulate with him in his sleep to produce demonic children. According to Zoharistic Kabbalah, Samael, the Angel of Death, had four succubi consorts: Lilith, Mahalath, Agrat Bat Mahlat, and Naamah. In some interpretations, all but Lilith conceive offspring; in other interpretations, the children of Lilith are known as lilim.
In Arabian mythology, the qarînah is a female sex demon with roots in ancient Egyptian and pre-Islamic myths who was visible only to those with “second sight” (and sometimes household pets), but “has relations during sleep as is known by the dreams.” In India, the succubus is known as a Mohini, a lone female spirit draped in a white saree with long, untamed hair, haunting lone roads and pathways for male victims. The sea-faring version of the succubus myth is the siren; the air-faring version is the harpy.
Succubi are generally depicted as young, beautiful women with avian or reptilian features, such as talons, serpentine tails or forked tongues. Some have horns and cloven feet. Penetration of their genitals is said to be “akin to entering a cavern of ice.” The Malleficus Maleficarum, or ‘Hammer of the Witches’ (1486), speculated that succubi collected the semen of their victims and their gave them to incubi, their male counterparts, which was then used by the incubi to impregnate their female victims. Thus, nocturnal emissions were often blamed on demonic visitation. Children born of the union between incubi and human women were called ‘cambions,’ and they were allegedly deformed or more susceptible to supernatural visitation. Some went on to become famous; Merlin was – according to folklore – himself a cambion.
Although succubi are generally depicted as malevolent and predatory, not all reports support this. According to Walter Mapes in De Nugis Curialium (Trifles of Courtiers), Pope Sylvester II (946–1003) had a long-time affair with a succubus named Meridiana, who assisted him in his ascent through the Catholic Church’s ranks. He confessed and repented for the affair shortly before his death.
