Beleth (also spelled Bileth, Bilet, Byleth, or Bilith) is the 13th spirit described in the Ars Goetia, a section of the 17th-century grimoire The Lesser Key of Solomon. He is depicted as a mighty and terrifying King of Hell, commanding 85 legions of demons. Originally a fallen angel from the Order of Powers, Beleth appears riding a pale horse, often preceded by a cacophony of trumpets, cymbals, and other musical instruments played by demonic musicians. His form can vary: sometimes as a fierce, hellish figure with a cat-like head and tail, or as a powerful old man. Some traditions portray him as female, with doll-like eyes and ringed blonde curls, especially when invoked for romantic proposals.
Beleth’s primary powers include:

Inducing love and desire: He can compel intense affection between men and women, making him a patron for matters of romance, marriage proposals, or binding relationships.
Teaching knowledge: He imparts mathematical and scientific wisdom, as legend claims he aided Noah’s son Ham in writing a book on mathematics after the flood.
Commanding presence: He enhances personal magnetism, dominance, and emotional control in conflicts or grief.

Beleth is notoriously wrathful and tests the summoner’s courage upon arrival, often appearing in a terrifying form to intimidate. He demands respect and can turn hostile if not handled properly. Some sources suggest offering a bottle of wine to appease him.
Important Warning: Summoning rituals like this are rooted in historical occult traditions and are not literal instructions for supernatural action. They carry psychological, ethical, and potential legal risks (e.g., if involving coercion in relationships). Approach as meditative or symbolic practice only, and consult mental health professionals if exploring intense emotional work. Results are anecdotal and unverified by science.
Preparation for Summoning Beleth
Before the ritual, build your intent and protection:

Study and Intent: Clarify your goal (e.g., love, knowledge). Read Beleth’s full entry in Ars Goetia or related grimoires like Pseudomonarchia Daemonum. Fast or meditate for 3–9 days to focus your will.
Tools and Materials:

Hazel wood wand (freshly cut if possible).
Silver ring (to wear on the middle finger of your left hand).
Protective circle: Chalk or rope to draw a 9-foot circle with a triangle inside, facing southeast.
Offerings: Incense (frankincense or myrrh), a bottle of red wine, and Beleth’s sigil (seal) drawn on virgin parchment or paper.
Sigil of Beleth: A complex geometric seal resembling interlocking crescents and lines—search for “Beleth sigil Ars Goetia” to replicate accurately.


Timing: Best during a waxing moon, on a Tuesday (Mars day for passion), or when Venus is strong (for love). Avoid if you’re inexperienced; start with simpler evocations.
Mindset: Cultivate courage and courtesy. Beleth despises weakness but rewards boldness and homage.

Step-by-Step Summoning Ritual
This is a synthesized traditional method from Ars Goetia, Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, and modern interpretations (e.g., from occultist.net and blackwitchcoven.com). Perform in a quiet, private space at night.

Purification and Circle Casting:

Bathe and dress in white or black robes.
Enter your ritual space facing east. Draw the protective circle clockwise with your wand, invoking archangels (e.g., “Raphael before me, Gabriel behind me…”) for safety.
Inside the circle, draw the triangle southeast, labeling sides with divine names (e.g., Adonai, Elohim).


Invocation:

Stand in the circle, holding the hazel wand in your right hand and the silver ring against your face with your left.
Light incense and place Beleth’s sigil in the triangle.
Recite a conjuration (adapt from Ars Goetia):

“I conjure thee, O Beleth, mighty King of the East, by the power of the Most High, Adonai, El, Elohim, and by the seal of thy office which I hold here. Appear before me in this triangle, visible and affable, without terror or deformity. I command thee by the virtue of these holy names: Come peaceably, and without ugliness or deceit. Thou art conjured by the name of the Living God, and by the seals of Solomon. Obey my commands, and fulfill my desires in all things.”


Repeat 3–7 times, vibrating the name “BELETH” (bay-leth) with increasing intensity.


Appearance and Command:

You may hear music or feel a rush of wind/heat. Beleth arrives fiercely—do not flinch.
Point the wand southeast and strike the triangle’s corners (south, east, upward) while commanding: “Beleth, enter this triangle and take thy place! Cease thy fury and appear in true form!”
Hold the ring to your face as a sign of respect to his kingship. If he resists, threaten banishment by divine names (e.g., “By Tetragrammaton, I abjure thee!”).


Communication and Petition:

Once calm (he may demand wine poured into the triangle), state your request clearly: “O Beleth, grant me the love of [name] until my will is done,” or “Teach me the secrets of numbers.”
Speak courteously; pay homage like “Hail, King Beleth, sovereign of flames and desires.”
Listen for responses via inner voice, visions, or signs. Journal everything.


Dismissal and Closing:

Thank him: “I thank thee, Beleth, for thy presence and aid. Depart in peace.”
Banish: “Go forth unto thy abodes, harming none, by the power of the Pentagram!”
Erase the circle counterclockwise. Ground yourself with food/drink.



Potential Outcomes and Variations

Success Signs: Sudden romantic developments, mathematical insights, or a “magnetic” personal aura.
Risks: If mishandled, Beleth may cause emotional turmoil or illusions. Always banish fully.
Modern Twists: Some use guided meditations (e.g., from The Grimoire of Beleth) instead of full evocation, visualizing his sigil while chanting. For female summoners seeking proposals, invoke his feminine aspect with rose incense.
