He's described appearing first as a great lion, transforming into human form only when the summoner requests it — a shape-shifting trait that extends to his powers as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHis domain is unusually two-sided: he answers truthfully on anything hidden or secret, and holds power over disease in both directions, able to cause illness or cure it. He also grants great wisdom and knowledge in mechanical arts and handicrafts, and can change people into other shapes entirely. This description is remarkably stable across sources, appearing with almost identical wording in Johann Weyer's 16th-century Pseudomonarchia Daemonum and the later Ars Goetia, tracing back even further to an earlier French grimoire, the Livre des Esperitz, where he's called Barthas and credited with teaching astronomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHis name is thought to connect to the Latin barba, meaning \"beard,\" and also to hellebore, a plant historically used in witchcraft and demon invocation — tying his identity to both his appearance and the practical tools of the craft associated with him.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ali","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47179500880070,"sku":"ND11","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0497\/3461\/5198\/files\/bg_f8f8f8-flat_750x_075_f-pad_750x1000_f8f8f8.u5.jpg?v=1789162273","url":"https:\/\/madamemeerkat.com\/products\/sigil-of-marbas-stainless-steel-necklace","provider":"Madame Meerkat's Cabinet of Curiosities","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
