Lempo

Lempo is the goddess of love, and sometimes fire too. Christians connected her to the Devil. Lempo could be the same creature as Lemmes. She is often described as a woman, but sometimes her gender is unclear. "Lempo" is also a mild swear word.

Usually Lempo is described as an evil being in folk stories. She is believed to represent love and lempi, because at the time love was often seen as an unpredictable, strange, and even dangerous power that controlled people, made them insane, and led them to their doom.

According to one source (SKVR:6133), Lempo was expelled from a wife who had committed adultery. Sometimes Lempo is described to be a flying being. Lempo is mentioned in spells related to fire, love and increasing attractiveness.
