How to summon Berith

Who is Berith?

Berith (also spelled Buerith or Bealith) is a demon described in medieval grimoires, particularly the Lesser Key of Solomon (Lemegeton Clavicula Salomonis), where he appears as the 28th spirit of the Goetia. He is depicted as a Great Duke of Hell, commanding 26 legions of spirits. Berith is said to manifest as a red soldier on a red horse, wearing a crown of gold, and sometimes with a snake’s tail.

His abilities include:

  • Revealing past, present, and future events.
  • Granting dignities and promotions.
  • Turning metals into gold (alchemical transmutation).
  • Providing true answers about hidden treasures or secrets.

He is associated with the infernal hierarchy under Lucifer and is noted for his eloquence but also for being a liar unless compelled by divine names. Summoning rituals for Berith, like those for other Goetic demons, are rooted in Renaissance-era occultism and are intended for experienced practitioners only. These are historical/esoteric practices, not empirically verified, and modern interpretations vary widely.

Critical Note

Attempting any ritual can be psychologically risky (e.g., inducing paranoia or dissociation) or legally hazardous if it involves prohibited substances or harms others. This is presented as historical lore—proceed at your own peril, and consider consulting mental health professionals if it affects you.

Historical Summoning Ritual from the Goetia

The primary source is the Lesser Key of Solomon (17th century), specifically the Ars Goetia section. The ritual is elaborate, requiring preparation, tools, and protections to “bind” the spirit. It’s not a casual act; it’s framed as a command over infernal forces using Judeo-Christian invocations.

Below is a summarized, step-by-step outline based on traditional texts. This is condensed for clarity—full grimoires provide more verbose invocations.

Preparation (1–2 Weeks in Advance)

Purification and Fasting

Abstain from meat, sex, and worldly distractions for 9 days. Bathe ritually and confess sins to align with “divine authority.”

Tools Needed

  • A magic circle: Draw a 9-foot diameter circle on the ground using chalk or flour, inscribed with the names of God (e.g., Adonai, El, Tetragrammaton) and angelic seals. Include a protective triangle outside it for the spirit to appear.
  • Black-handled knife or sword (for tracing boundaries).
  • Incense: Frankincense and myrrh.
  • Virgin parchment: Inscribe Berith’s sigil (a complex geometric seal resembling a crowned figure with horns—search for “Goetia sigil Berith” for visuals).
  • Robes: White linen for purity.
  • Offerings: Bread, wine, or bloodless sacrifices (historical texts specify no blood for Berith).

Timing

Best during a Tuesday (Mars day, linked to his martial nature) at midnight, under a waxing moon. Avoid if you’re not “pure” or if planetary hours are inauspicious (use an astrological table for calculation).

The Ritual (Performed Solitarily or with Assistants)

Enter the Space

In a secluded room, face east. Light two candles and incense.
Trace the circle with the knife, invoking:

“I conjure thee, O Circle of Art, by the power of the Most High, to be a fortress against all evil.”

Invocation of Divine Protection

Recite Psalms 8, 50, and 91 for shielding. Then, the Preliminary Invocation (from the grimoire):

“O Thou Almighty God, Who hast formed all things… I humbly invoke Thee to send unto me Thy servant Berith, under Thy divine command…”

(Full text is lengthy; it emphasizes God’s supremacy to “compel” the demon.)

Summoning Call

Stand in the circle, hold the sigil, and chant the conjuration thrice, growing louder:

“I do invocate and conjure thee, O Spirit Berith; and being with power armed from the Supreme Majesty, I do strongly command thee, by Beralanensis, Baldachiensis, Paumachia, and Apologiae Sedes; by the most Powerful Princes, Genii, Liachidae, and Ministers of the Tartarean Abode… Appear thou now before this Circle in a fair human shape, without any deformity or torment. Come thou peaceably, visibly, and affably, now and without delay, manifesting that which I shall desire…”

Visualize a red flame or horse-riding figure.

Appearance and Binding

If successful (per lore), Berith appears in the triangle. Do not leave the circle.
Command him with his seal:

“By the power of this seal, I bind thee, Berith, to truth and obedience.”

Ask questions directly (e.g., “Reveal the location of [treasure]” or “Grant me [favor]”).

Dismissal

Once done, license to depart:

“O Thou Spirit Berith, I thank thee for thy service. Depart in peace unto thy abodes, harming none… By the power of Adonai, go forth!”

Erase the circle clockwise to release energies.

Variations and Modern Adaptations

From Pseudomonarchia Daemonum (Johann Weyer, 1577)

Similar to Goetia but emphasizes his “fiery” nature—use red candles and sulfur incense for potency.

Modern Occultism

Authors like Aleister Crowley (in The Book of the Goetia) suggest integrating Thelemic elements, like the Bornless Ritual for invocation.
Chaos magicians simplify it to meditation on the sigil with affirmations, skipping Judeo-Christian elements.

Potential Signs of Success or Failure

Failure: No appearance, or “attacks” like illness (attributed to improper protection).

Success: Vivid visions, accurate prophecies, or synchronicities.
