Who are the Succubi? Demons of the night in female form. - Video

Succubi are demonic spirits that take on female forms and appear to men, while Incubi appear to women. In the Middle Ages, it was believed that demonic spirits did not have a physical body and could take on any form, but they were usually referred to as succubi and considered male. These demonic beings were thought to be servants of the devil and could reincarnate into both women and men. They were described as both ugly witches and beautiful maidens who seduced men and deprived them of reason. Similar demon entities were also mentioned in the myths of the Babylonians and Assyrians. The famous demoness Lilith was associated with the demons of the night due to her name's similarity. Despite the church's fight against demonic spirits, there were rumors of romantic relationships between succubi and church representatives, such as Pope Sylvester the Second and his alleged secret lover Meridiana. There are different theories about why succubi engage with men, including hunting for souls and feeding on human energy, but these ideas are not universally accepted. Despite the dangers, many people were attracted to succubi and incubi, often blaming them for marital infidelity.
