Greetings...
Incubi and Succubi have always been both a rapid interest, and a source of complete confusion to me.
There are so many questions...
What exactly are they (and no wiki articles please... lazy so and so's ought to put some effort into something,)...
According to myths and legends they are male and female spirit demons that enter an unsuspecting human's dreams in order to mate with them...
Question...
Spirit Sex?
Spirit Sex leading to conception?
Do Succubi get pregnant?
Can a Succubus give birth?
Are they one gender-shifting creature?
i will put a little effort in saying i always believed the sucubi were male and female forms of demons such as lilith,never thought they were in dreams but have heard it is suppose to be more than just in mind as if a spirit were taking you forceably,rape if you will.
well thats my thoughts on this.
Interesting thought. Well, given that they are spirits, I don't think it would be possible for succubi to get pregnant.
I believe they are corporeal beings myself...
Spirits and Conception just seems ridiculous
i agree i dont think Spirits as in Succubi can get pregnant
(wish i could)
heh quite interesting what makes me wonder is how they are manifested and what draws them to certian individuals,do they feed off of their sexual energy or is it something more..
Awww *hugs Meska*
There are three versions in mythology;
1. they dont feed and merely reproduce
2. they devour souls
3. they feed on sexually charged energy
The poor being got a bad reputation from a religion, due to the religions promotion of sin.
Nothing wrong with a visitation from such beings… I always laugh at the stories of succubus taking a life in there sleep… how do you know? there dead? Who told you lol
Personally I enjoy the visitations and there ability to use glamour magic quite the fine art… I also don’t mind the demon look ether.. but that’s me
*laughs* Good to talk to you again Lavisbre
And what abilities do your visitors have?
Spirit sex and pregnancy is possible, considering the fact that souls are born in the ethereal. We as souls in vessels called bodies, are latched on to the world of the "other side". If said spirits were to have sexual relation with us, then I would agree with the concept of spiritual pregnancy. How else would soul mates carry on.
Okay... but how would something completely spiritual in form sire something of flesh and spirit?
It happens all the time...Just look at the virgin mary concept. Most would argue this point, but figuratively speaking, it was the way back then when Adonay was born.
Spirits having relations with the living, the new child would have let us say, the vampire complex. Born of spirit, having the nessessary attributes of both worlds. By vampire, I use the analogy for understanding only, as we know more of this term, than any other apparently.
Than one is with differance of opinion as well as faith when it comes to the confines of religious ideals.
Personally I say to each their own beliefs.
True, but looking into the likelihood of spirit birthing flesh and spirit religion only asks more questions
parthenogenesis [Gr.,=virgin birth], in biology, a form of reproduction in which the ovum develops into a new individual without fertilization.
Unusual patterns of heredity can occur in parthenogenetic organisms. For example, offspring produced by some types are identical in all inherited respects to the mother.
Does anyone have any views on the whole being a female spirit stealing sperm then changing into a male and depositing it? How can you steal sperm in ethereal form!!!????
But you are interested in spirit reproduction, specifically with humans.
The definition is a starting point with a biologic and zoologic basis. Myths and fables re. succubi and incubi were started with human observations of the plant and animal world.
If an incubus invaded my dream world, aroused my sexual energy, could conception result because of forces both demonic and biologic? Yes, I think so.
(Chuckles) Then one would think...Friggin sexual labedo of the spirit world...Keep your friggin ectoplasm to yourself for a change.
I have one question(anybody can answer) but do you mean like mary mother of Jesus style preganant or something else??
I have never heard of them coming to people in their dreams but I suppose its possible. I have heard of them impregnating people though.
they the female and male can either be of vampire or demon, the feed on sex, lust, Yes they both kinds can have children if they are strong they can do it through dreams.
Ah AKri
Good to see you again , I have been working way too long……… now im back on …
I have frequent visitations …. Vivid dreaming … astral bodies … I call it a succubus, I have been drained in the past ans only half new what it was then one life changing night I was visited by two…. They were way boney not even close to human form and I was as horney as hell… nothing new. Lol
but now I take energy from them… I find after a tormented … oh so tormented night of demonic pleaser of darkest delights on stone alters swimming in blood with red skys and black clouds racing over the dry smell of the land and the pungent smell… mainly hers lol
She doesn’t even hold the delusion of a wet dream beauties her ribs n back spiked spine I find intriguing and unique her growls and her black pool gaze I see my face in her eyes and I wake…. Sore.. scratched.. and full of energy.
Im starting to write them down and plan to add them to my collection in my journals
*smiles*
This is all good so far...
So can the puny mortals whom they prey upon do anything to keep them from their dreams? Can they be hurt? Even Killed?
I think they feed on your sexual energy...Can they be killed? Try vanquishing spells...Or keep them away with salt...I heard.
But how can anything physical like salt harm an ethereal being?
I think they are one sex beings that shape shift teasing and manipulating people into having sex with them so they can steal their souls
There are so many different types of...entities that fit the vague profile of incubi and succubi. The answers to your initial questions could all be yes. Different cultures had different theories regarding their own incubi and succubi.
I don't think there's a difference in the gender of these beings. I think it's given a specific sex according to its victim's gender. I also think that it just drains its victim's energy. I do not think it reproduces--not in the manner that humans do, at any rate. Perhaps the creature gathers enough energy from a host so that it can produce another spirit like itself.
Theta is right!
The succubi are strange entities of the shadows that use the psichic energy of the man in order to create a tenebrion.
The succubi also represents the feminine side of the ego.
They are related in the bible and other sacred texts by the practice of the masturbation.
The female counterpart of the incubus, a succubus (meaning 'to lie under') attacks innocent men in their sleep.
The denizens of Lilith, succubi sit astride a man's prone body and have their way with him.
Often taking the form of beautiful women, succubi will instantly turn into miserable hags if confronted with their real identities.
Monks in monasteries are often visited by these troublesome spirits who inspire dirty dreams and tempt the brethren with their lusty ideas.
In the Middle Ages, fearful monks tied crucifixes to their genitals before retiring at night as protection against nocturnal visits by succubi. - Family Tree of Demons Index
yes the succubus can mate with a human and produce a child, called a Cambion, who will be corruption and evil incarnate. got this info from the book called Vampire Universe on page 274 a very good reading book to buy.
Sorry to be so logical but seamen that which they apparently steal contains salts naturally so the idea salt will get ride of them is not sounding good.
Why one would want to get ride of a spirit that has chosen you to bonk?
Unless you have a partner who is jealous, and you don’t have to tell them. Lol
As for the concept of losing your soul? I would be a victim from the amount of times iv spent with her the vial temptress that she is, with her transforming in dreams to who ever she needs to be to get close. I see her out of the corner of my minds eye turning her shape till she gets in close….. then .. well one should never kiss n tell. Lol
Oh yeh back to soul … I would of lost mine a long time ago … im still me evil as can be farther of three. Lol
As for producing other spirits like it’s self…. Very cool … only problem is lilith would be out of a job bearing all those demons for human lust…..
The succubus are part of the ego … interesting… plausible … if you don’t believe … I have an abnormal libido .. yeh baby yeh.
I guess it could be im screwing myself… lol
My desire for sexual union is constant, my desire for love is more, one would of thought id have romantic dreams not vivid dreams of a daemon in great detail.
If a cambion is produced then I must have over thirty six legions made by now and should change my name to Barbas for my magical herb knowledge and transformations in the astral world
From what I have been told Both feed on the sexual energy of their victim. And basic drain the life right out of them once they reach climax.
I watch a movie once and the Succubi that got pregnant ended up from it. It changed her some how. And then destroyed her. I'm not sure if I believe that Succubi can get pregnant.
No, their intent is not to conceive any offspring. They wouldn't be able to even if they wanted to, due to the fact they don't have a physical body. All they do is feed off of one's sexual energy. It's how they gain power, just like what psychic vampires do when feeding off of other's energy.
Smart woman Raven Eyes, I think one will find the negativity around succubus/ Incubus is religious propaganda.
Who after dying says “ oh by the way a succubus sucked the soul out of me” lol
Raveneyea are speaking from personal experience?
The idea of Daemon using human hosts to produce half-daemon offspring is more logical than the stealing souls bullshit
From what I gather:
Succubi - are female Vampires whom feed thru sex. They are a corporal being that can apear as smoke or as a figment at times. They can get impregnated but I do not know if that would be by human or Incubi, the male of the species. I have asked that question before.
I remember there was a thread about this some months ago.
As far as I know, Incubi and Succubi come to unsuspecting victims and they feed off the sexual energy. They leave their victims drained and spiritually vulnerable.
I don't think they mate with humans to have offspring, I think they try and find others like them to have children.
I've posted a few threads in the past... I must admit Incubi and Succubi are something of a fascination.
There's very little actual myth or legend on these creatures and nobody seems sure whether they're a faction of sex-starved vampires or spirit demons
Akri
You could call them either one. They could be spirit demons as in they "injure" the energy around your body when it is heightened during sex.
You could also call them sex starved vampires as they feed on energy. In essence that would make them psychic vampires.
Akri, I think you are looking at what I said in the context of two completely seperate things. Demons and psychic vampires.
I beleive Incubi and Succubi to be both things because they both injure the victim, they do it knowingly and they both know exactly what to do to heighten the energy that they require.
The only differance I can see is that Incubi and Succubi come to their victims in the ideal form said victim likes. Psychic Vampires do not
Are you sure about that? That brings about a whole 'nother topic.
But what I am trying to say is that YES Incubi and Succbi are deamon. BUT you could call them vampiric in that they drain energy. This is all I am trying to say
*nods* That's kind of the reason behind this post... there are so many variations and they dont tend to point in the same direction
I believe that they ususally come to us in dreams, and the may be how it is easy for them to take energy.
Succubi have visited me before. It was an interesting experience. Honestly, it wasn't a bad one. I woke up a bit tired but other than that I woke up relaxed.
If the conception thing is true, then wouldn't it be akin to the virgin mary getting pregnant with a spirit? As for whether they are the same creature, that's open to discussion.
Ok every thing I have read says that they cannot reproduce, plain and simple.
They are demons not vampires.
They will wear their human partner out during sex, simply because they cannot get enough......and honestly .......I know humans that can do that.....so...lol
And the last article I read was very interesting on how to enjoy your demon lover and rules of having one......
http://www.angelfire.com/empire/serpentis666/Incubus.html
Interesting... shall check that link out...
And I agree completely... Incubi and Succubi are daemon and not bloody vamps
I dont believe they are gender-shifting... surely the incubi/succubi must have separate genders to reproduce in their own reality/realm/dimension??
From what I have read on them - they are not gender shifting. Nor can they reproduce.
Then where do Incubi and Succubi come from - the sins of human lust?
Incubi
An Incubus, meaning 'to lie on' is one of a horde of demons who take human shape and descend on sleeping women in the middle of the night, either raping them or inspiring lustful dreams and desires.
Nuns and maidens are often the victims of the incubus's visit, and a pregnancy in a convent is usually the result of such a visit.
Copulation with an incubus, reports claim, is a decidedly disgusting affair. The entity allegedly sports an immense frozen penis that he uses to tear viciously into the internal organs of his victims. If, as unbelievable as it may seem, a woman invites an incubus to her bed, all members in the household will fall into a trancelike sleep, even the woman's mortal lover who may be snoring alongside her.
In the Middle Ages, any baby born with a mental of physical deformity was considered to be the progeny of this vile union.
Notice the ones for females are
sorry - computer went down. The females are always attacked worse then the men lol!
The Family Tree of Demons is an excellent resource for all types of demons.
Here is an excerpt from an article I wrote on the Lhiannan shee and I mention the succubus/incubus. In the vampire community it only means a female or male sexual vampyre.
Excerpt:
Very often the term succubus comes to mind but this is a very different creature and the lhiannan shee is not a succubus and is probably much older in folklore than the succubus/incubus legends. The word succubus is derived from Latin; sub and cubare meaning “to lie under” and not from any form of Gaelic. The succubus comes to seduce males during their dreams. She is considered a female demon and not a fairy. It has been inferred that Lilith, Adam’s first wife according to Judaic documents, was a succubus but the idea of a succubus comes from the medieval period and is described very specifically in the Malleus Maleficarum in the late 1400s. It is believed that the succubus collects semen from the men she has seduced and gives it to the incubus who then impregnates sleeping women with this semen and creates children prone to demonic direction. This is nothing remotely connected to Celtic folklore and is separate and unique to another culture.
the 100 unclean children of Lilith or the succubi were also called the whores of hell or night hags. It is said that they squat over the chests of men especially monks and cause them to have nocturnal emissions. Some celibate men would sleep with their hands over their genitals to keep them away or use amulets to ward them off. It is said that one night with one of the Lilim and no man would be able to find satisfaction again with a mortal woman.
I just discovered an awesome list of Strange Sexual Beings I would hate to post the whole list because it's really long, but very interesting!
'ALUKAH A Hebrew succubus and vampire derived from Babylonian demonology. The 'Alukah bears a close resemblance to the Arab 'Aulak.
I wish I could experice their visits, espespecially if i dont get pregnat from it.
lol
CHUIAELS (or CIJURREYLS) Hindu succubi who perform fellatio until the very life is sucked out of the enraptured victim. The Churreyl is said to be the spirit of a woman who has died in childbirth (women dying in that circumstance becoming demons and vampires according to the lore of many times and places).
LAMIAS Greek and Roman succubi-vampires. The Lamia steals children and sucks their blood until they are completely drained. Lamias are occasionally reported to be bisexual, having intercourse with both men and women.
YUKSHEE The most beautiful, voluptuous, and sexually insatiable of the many Hindu succubi. Her lovers become eroticly exhausted and not infrequently impotent as a result of her gluttonous demands. Only Kokah Pundit, an immensely virile minister of state in the eleventh century, is credited with having been more than a match sexually for a Yukshee.
There is an interesting discussion on incubi and succubi in the Malleus Maleficurum (The Witche's Hammer) from the Middle Ages.
Here is the link:
http://www.sacred-texts.com/pag/mm/index.htm
Look at Question III.
I believe it is in here too that having a nocturnal emission meant that one was visited in the night by a succubus.

Whether Children can be Generated by Incubi and Succubi
The age old tale of Incubi is that it is a male that visits a female in her sleep to take her virginity. The tale of the Succubi is that of a female visitor coming in dreams of young men to awaken there sexual desires at the time of puberty.
Succubi being demons in female form and Inccubi being demons in male form.. they take energy from the sexual act on the human male or female. Lots of interesting articles to read..
In the 1970s there was a movie about and Incubus going after Barbara Hershey.
