## Overview

In demonological lore, Gaap is attributed with various abilities, including providing medical care for women, facilitating transformations to aid in romantic pursuits, and even rendering individuals infertile.

In certain texts popular among ancient witches, he is said to provide health care and advices to women about beautifying themselves using both natural and supernatural means to attract others.

In certain demonological and occult texts, Gaap is indeed associated with necromancers, and it's mentioned that he was first invoked by Noah's son, Ham, along with another demon called Beleth. Additionally, it's sometimes suggested that Gaap belonged to the order of potestates, a classification of demons or spirits within these belief systems.

He is said to enjoy smoking. Because of this, conjurers often prepare a cigarette or a cigar when preparing to summon him. He's often mistook by others to be a vampire, which annoyed him greatly.

In various occult grimoires and demonological texts, including the "Lesser Key of Solomon" and the "Pseudomonarchia Daemonum," Gaap is indeed identified as one of the cardinal spirits. However, there can be variations in the assignment of cardinal directions to specific spirits across different texts and traditions. In some sources, Gaap is associated with the south, while in others, he may be linked to the west. These cardinal spirits are considered significant entities in ceremonial magic and demonology, each associated with specific powers and attributes according to the particular tradition or text in which they appear.
