[edit] Characteristics

Raum steals treasures out of kings' houses, carrying them where he wishes, and destroys cities and dignities of men (he is said to have great dispraise for dignities). Raum can also tell things past, present and future, and reconcile friends and foes.

In traditional satanism Raum is the deamon that invokes love.

[edit] Etymology

'Raum' in German means "space, room, chamber"; 'räumen' means to empty, evacuate. See lebensraum, literally "living room" (that is, room for living, not a living room).

Other spellings: Raim, Raym, Räum.
