Picollus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Piccolus is a demon or spirit in the Dictionnaire Infernal, aka: Poccolus or Pikulis: No doubt these names refer to the same deity. He is not a demon but rather one of a trifecta of Gods representing seasons including;
He is some kind of destroyer-god, or god of death. What Patrimpas brings, Piccolus destroys. He is believed to look like a pale old man with a long white beard and a large nose, often well dressed. He was revered by the ancient inhabitants of [[Prussia] often he was offered the head of a dead man but later a tallow was burned in his honor and blood was spilled on a dedicated tree, which would stay miraculously green.
He would appear to important people during their last days. If he was not appeased by tallow, he would appear a second time when he required blood, usuially of a goat or horse, and finally if not appeased a third visit when only human blood would satisfy him.
He was first recorded by Teodoras Narbutas a Latvian sage who compiled "Lietuvos Istorija" a record of many eastern theologies, spirits and demons.
