Aṅgulimāla
Aṅgulimāla is a figure from early Buddhist literature: a notorious human brigand who wore a 'finger necklace' and, after an encounter with the Buddha at Sāvatthī, renounced violence, ordained as a monk, and is presented in the tradition as attaining liberation. In later South and Southeast Asian popular religion he is also invoked as a protector in childbirth and associated with fertility.
Ba (Egyptian soul)
The ba is one element of the ancient Egyptian multipart conception of the person: an individuated, mobile aspect of a human that survives death, is commonly depicted as a human-headed bird, and moves between tomb, body, and the afterlife. It is distinct from other components such as the ka and the akh and is central to funerary practices that maintain continued identity after death.
Baal
Baal (bāʿal) is a Northwest Semitic title meaning 'owner' or 'lord' that served as a theonym in the ancient Levant; in Ugaritic and Canaanite texts it appears as the name/title of a prominent storm and fertility god (often rendered Baʿal Haddu) who features centrally in the Baal Cycle and in regional cults tied to rain, fertility, and kingship. In later monotheistic literatures the term becomes a polemical label for rival or foreign deities and is reinterpreted in various receptions.
Baal-berith
Baal-berith (also attested in some reference works as El Berith) is a named deity-title from ancient Canaanite religion, attested in Biblical sources and later reference literature as a local god or title worshiped at Shechem and associated with covenants—commonly glossed as "Baal of the Covenant." Later reception reuses the name polemically or in modern occult and cultural contexts.
Baalat Gebal
Baalat Gebal (Phoenician bʿlt gbl, "Lady of Byblos") is the tutelary goddess and principal civic deity of the ancient Phoenician city of Byblos. Her long-lived temple at the city's center and attestations in Egyptian, Akkadian (Amarna), and later Greek sources show her role as city-protector, focal point of royal veneration, and an object of cross-cultural identification with foreign goddesses.
Baalshamin
Baalshamin (literally "Lord of Heaven[s]") is a Northwest Semitic theonym/title used across the Levant and adjacent regions to denote a supreme sky/heavenly lord. Depending on time and place it functions as an epithet of other deities (notably Hadad/Baal) or as a distinct civic/sky deity associated with weather, lightning, and sometimes solar aspects; attested in inscriptions from Ugarit, Phoenicia, Safaitic Arabia, Palmyra, Nabataea, and in treaty and stele texts.
Baba Marta
Baba Marta (Bulgarian: Баба Марта, 'Granny March') is a Bulgarian folkloric personification of the transition from winter to spring. Celebrated on March 1, she is pictured as a feisty grandmother whose mood is said to affect late-winter weather; communal customs (martenitsi) exchanged on her day symbolize health and good fortune.
Baba Yaga
Baba Yaga is an ambivalent female figure of East Slavic folktale tradition, depicted variously as a fearsome, child-eating crone or as a helpful, maternal donor. She is associated with the deep forest, a hut described as standing on chicken legs, and the motific accoutrements of a mortar and pestle.
Babalon
A central goddess-figure in the Thelemic system founded by Aleister Crowley; simultaneously an archetypal Great Mother/Binah, a sacralized principle of liberated female sexuality, a ritual vessel (the Grail), and an office manifested historically as the "Scarlet Woman."
Babay (Slavic folklore)
A Slavic night spirit that abducts misbehaving children who stay awake at night, embodying societal values of discipline and conformity. (Note: 1. Power tier: Given the ability to abduct and punish misbehaving children, Babay's power level should be at least Greater Spirit. 2. Appearance: Since no physical description is provided in the sourc)
Babi
Babi (also Baba) is the ancient Egyptian deification or divine personification of the hamadryas baboon, associated in funerary and mythic texts with the netherworld, posthumous judgment, and sexual virility. Texts portray him as a violent, meat‑eating figure who could devour the unjust after judgment, while some funerary spells also appropriate his virile power positively for the dead.
Babi Ngepet
In Indonesian mythology, the Babi Ngepet is a boar demon associated with malevolent intentions towards humans. (Note: * Power tier: Downgrade to Ancient (deity-level) as there's no indication of Primordial powers. * Abilities: Specify what malevolent intentions towards humans implies, e.g., ability to curse or cause )
