26. Bune (Bim / Bime) - Goetia Spirit of Wealth, Influence and Hidden Knowledge

The twenty-sixth spirit described in the Ars Goetia is Bune - a Duke known for his connection to wealth, eloquence, and… something deeper that isn’t always mentioned directly.

At first glance, he is associated with prosperity.

But if you look closer, his current feels more complex than just money.

 

Who is Bune?

Bune is traditionally described as appearing as a three-headed dragon - with the heads of a dog, a griffin, and a human. His voice is said to be high and pleasant.

However, in practical accounts, his appearance varies.

Some describe a composed, elegant figure - almost refined.
Others notice something older beneath that surface… like a presence connected to time, memory, and things long buried.

There are also interpretations where Bune appears in a more feminine form, linked to ancient Egyptian symbolism.

Which, interestingly, aligns with his association with burial rites and the dead.

 

Wealth - But Not in a Simple Way

Most texts say Bune grants riches.

And he does.

But not always in a direct or immediate sense.

His influence often works through:

creating opportunities rather than handing results;

improving communication and persuasion;

increasing respect, presence, and perceived authority;

shifting how others respond to you;

So wealth comes… but usually as a consequence of these changes.

Not as something dropped out of nowhere.

 

Connection to the Dead and Memory

Bune is also known for his connection to the dead.

He is said to move between burial places, command spirits, and gather knowledge from what has already passed.

In practice, this is often interpreted less literally.

More like access to accumulated knowledge - patterns, experience, insight that feels… older than your current situation.

Some describe it as understanding things without fully knowing why.

 

The Nature of His Influence

What stands out about Bune is refinement.

Not raw force.
Not sudden impact.

But gradual improvement.

Speech becomes clearer.
Decisions feel more grounded.
People respond with more respect.

And over time, this starts affecting material outcomes.

 

When Do People Work With Bune?

In modern practice, Bune is often approached when:

financial growth is needed;

career progress feels blocked;

influence and recognition are lacking;

communication needs to be stronger;

opportunities are not appearing as expected;

It’s not just about “getting money”.

It’s about becoming the kind of person money moves toward.

 

A Practical Observation

People sometimes expect quick financial results.

But more often, it begins differently.

A conversation goes better than expected.
Someone takes you more seriously.
An opportunity appears that wasn’t there before.

At first it doesn’t seem connected.

Then it builds.
