Butemwe Eliriae, (-2769, ?) was a butcher in Aksum.
Butemwe believed in Shamanism.
She lived a life of absolute poverty. Eating or sleeping in a safe place was a constant struggle. She belonged to the low caste of the society, and had some friends among the servants, beggars and workers. She had a low knowledge of life, summing up to some technical tricks and tales from Aksum. She was force of nature, and people saw in their body and beauty the incarnation of a god. She was soft-spirited, rejecting any responsability.
