Everything about Pikullos totally explained
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 triad of
gods representing seasons including;
- Patrimpas (spring)
- Perkunas (summer)
- Picollus (winter)
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 wasn't appeased by
tallow, he'd appear a second time when he
required blood, usually 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
Teodor Narbutt a Latvian sage who compiled
"Lietuvos Istorija" a record of many
eastern theologies, spirits and demons. His name can be found back in the name of the
pike weapon, and the German word
piken (to poke with a sharp object).
