  • A Dybbuk is a form of malevolent spirit originating in Jewish mythology.
  • In Jewish folklore, a dybbuk is a malicious possessing spirit, believed to be the dislocated soul of a dead person. Dybbuks are said to have escaped from Gehenna (a Hebrew term loosely analogous to the concept of hell) or to have been turned away from Gehenna for serious transgressions, such as suicide, for which the soul is denied entry. The word "dybbuk" is derived from the Hebrew דיבוק, meaning "attachment"; the dybbuk attaches itself to the body of a living person and inhabits the flesh. According to belief, a soul that has been unable to fulfill its function during its lifetime is given another opportunity to do so in dybbuk form. It supposedly leaves the host body once it has accomplished its goal, sometimes after being helped.

  • A demon that takes possession of a living person and is denied eternal peace.
  • Although earlier Jewish writers wrote about demonic possession, saying that those who fell victim to it were usually Jews who questioned their religion or who did not follow rituals correctly, no accounts of possession by ghostly dybbuks exist before the 16th century. A modern addition to the dybbuk myth is the idea that a dybbuk can be trapped inside a wooden box, known as a dybbuk box, although the dybbuk may be able to escape from the box again and misfortune is likely to befall anybody who owns such a box.
  • A Dybbuk is a fan-used term derived from a reference by Dimo when describing the situation with Agatha. It is called an [ Essentia] [[Chronology - Volume #|✣ ]] by Gil. In myth the dybbuk is a disembodied entity that attempts to transfer its personality,usually forcibly, into another's body without removing the resident mentality and psyche. It will hijack the hosts body at will if not suppressed by some means.
  • El pasado del Dybbuk no es realmente mítico, es decir, no pertenece a un pasado remoto, sino que surje como una representación simbólica incorporada por los místicos judíos del siglo VIII d.C. Recordemos que la práctica del misticismo estaba tajantemente prohibida por aquel pueblo, celo que tenía por argumento la idea de que el misticismo, en cualquiera de sus formas, debilitaba la fe. Antiguamente se creía que los espíritus de los suicidas solían buscar una puerta de entrada para regresar al mundo; y para ello realizaban oscuros pactos con los Dybbuk.
  • A Dybbuk is a wraith of Jewish ancestry who was killed during Adolf Hitler's Holocaust. While nominally Stygian, Dybbuk generally have no association with the dead of Europe, instead living in their own autonomous Necropoli called the Dark Kingdom of Wire.
  • Although demonic possession was referred to by earlier Jewish writers, who stated that those who fell victim to it were usually Jews who did not follow rituals correctly or who questioned their religion, there are no references to possession by ghostly dybbuks before the 16th century. A recent addition to the dybbuk myth is the idea that a dybbuk can be trapped in a wooden box called a dybbuk box. A dybbuk may, however, be able to escape from the box and bad luck is likely to follow anyone who owns a dybbuk box.
  • The Dybbuk (Yiddish: דיבוק, from Hebrew "adhere" or "cling") is a malevolent spirit from Jewish folklore comparable to an "unclean" spirit in other religions, although often considered demons there is a difference between an "unclean" spirit and an actual demon: demons are considered fallen angels or spiritual evils whilst "unclean" spirits such as the Dybbuk are considered the restless souls of unhappy humans or animals (similar to the idea of ghosts).
