Demonic Enn: Lirach tasa vefa wehl Beleth

Beleth is a mighty and terrible king of Hell, who has eighty-five legions of demons under his command. Beleth rides a pale horse, and all kinds of music is heard before him. According to legend, Noah's son was the first in invoking him and Gaap after the flood, and wrote a book on Mathematics with his help. When appearing he looks very fierce to frighten the conjurer or to see if he is courageous. The conjurer must be brave, and holding a hazel wand in his hand must draw a triangle by striking towards the South, East, and upwards, then commanding Beleth into it by means of some conjurations. If he does not obey, the conjurer must rehearse all threatens the conjurations said and then Beleth will obey and do all that he is commanded. But the conjurer must be respectful and do homage unto Beleth due to his rank, and hold a silver ring in the middle finger of the left hand against his face, as it is the use of hellish kings and princes before Amaymon. Beleth gives all the love of men and women he is commanded until the conjurer is satisfied. Beleth, alongside Sitri and Yomyael, formed an evil Trinity of demons, who reigned over parts of Europe and Asia, offering Faustian Bargains to everyone who asked. He also had aided the Asiatic people in battle "for as long as men had placed faith in the dark behind stars". One of these famous bargains was Peter the Great of Russia, who summoned the three demons in order to defeat the Swedes in Great Northern War. In return Beleth and two other demons demanded three things: his future sons, his heart and his eternal soul. Beleth is also mentioned in the mystical prophecy "Anung Un Rama, Urush Un Rama". He is one of the many casualties in the civil war of Hell after Satan and Lucifer are killed by Hellboy, alongside other demons such as Astaroth, Orobas, Suriel, Moloch, Shax, Uziel, Raum, Samyaza, Belial, Amdusias, Beelzebub, Behemoth and Leviathan. Beleth's corpse was seen being eaten by lesser demons, who mocked him and his former glory as a king while they were consuming his flesh. Original text from the Ars Goetia: “The Thirteenth Spirit is called Beleth (or Bileth, or Bilet). He is a mighty King and terrible. He rideth on a pale horse with trumpets and other kinds of musical instruments playing before him. He is very furious at his first appearance, that is, while the Exorcist layeth his courage; for to do this he must hold a Hazel Wand in his hand, striking it out towards the South and East Quarters, make a triangle, Ò, without the Circle, and then command him into it by the Bonds and Charges of Spirits as hereafter followeth. And if he doth not enter into the triangle, Ò, at your threats, rehearse the Bonds and Charms before him, and then he will yield Obedience and come into it, and do what he is commanded by the Exorcist. Yet he must receive him courteously because he is a Great King, and do homage unto him, as the Kings and Princes do that attend upon him. And thou must have always a Silver Ring on the middle finger of the left hand held against thy face,14 as they do yet before AMAYMON. This Great King Beleth causeth all the love that may be, both of Men and of Women, until the Master Exorcist hath had his desire fulfilled. He is of the Order of Powers, and he governeth 85 Legions of Spirits. His Noble Seal is this, which is to be worn before thee at working. “ From Tikaboo “Beleth (a.k.a. Bileth or Bilet) is a mighty King that rideth on a pale horse with trumpets and other kinds of musical instruments playing before him. He is very furious at his first appearance, that is, while the Exorcist layeth his courage; for to do this he must hold a Hazel Wand in his hand, striking it out towards the South and East Quarters, make a triangle, without the Circle, and then command him into it by the Bonds and Charges of Spirits as hereafter followeth. And if he doth not enter into the triangle, at your threats, rehearse the Bonds and Charms before him, and then he will yield Obedience and come into it, and do what he is commanded by the Exorcist. Yet he must receive him courteously because he is a Great King, and do homage unto him, as the Kings and Princes do that attend upon him. And thou must have always a Silver Ring on the middle finger of the left hand held against thy face, as they do yet before AMAYMON. This Great King Beleth causeth all the love that may be, both of Men and of Women, until the Master Exorcist hath had his desire fulfilled. He is of the Order of Powers, and he governeth 85 Legions of Spirits.” From the Luciferian Goetia by Michael Ford “Beleth/Bileth or Bilet is a King whom appears Mighty and Terrible. Beleth is summoned and manifests upon a pale horse with musical instruments like horns playing near him. He does appear in flames and very angry, the magician even if working with the black mirror will want to silently create a triangle in the South and East Quarters, and command the spirit to take a calm form. When the flames cease, he appears as a King like older man with a long beard. Being of the Order of Powers, he does govern 85 Legions of spirits. Beleth is a useful Love Spell Spirit, whom you would will your desire to become flesh. “ TITLES - King of Hell RACE - Demon, Power (formerly) PANTHEON - Abrahamic PERSONIFY - Mathematics, deception EQUIPMENT - 85 legions of lesser demons CONSORTS - Possibly Witches PARENTS - God (creator) SIBLINGS - Angels OTHER RELATIONSHIPS - Ham (summoner), Yomyael (associate), Sitri (associate) AFFILIATIONS - Hell, Ars Goetia ALIGNMENT - Evil
