Historical Ritual Archive
A royal evocation of passion, obsession and the terrifying procession that precedes the King of love.
This rebuilt dossier preserves the entire operative substance of the earlier SatanWorld draft: the tools, sigil work, timings, purifications, chants, offerings, petitions, manifestations, dismissals and warnings remain present. The material has been reorganized so the rite unfolds as one deliberate descent rather than a loose list of instructions.
The Power Being Addressed
Beleth is approached as Thirteenth spirit of the Ars Goetia, a mighty King commanding eighty-five legions. The operation is structured around that rank, office and manifestation.
Beleth is proud, volatile and intensely ceremonial. He may appear enraged before becoming cooperative. His office concerns love and desire, but his temperament makes affection inseparable from force, possession and emotional danger.

Why the Rite Exists
The rite creates a threshold between ordinary life and the domain attributed to Beleth. Preparation separates the practitioner from distraction. The sigil, name and chant establish a centre. The petition shapes the encounter. The offering acknowledges exchange. Dismissal restores the chamber to ordinary time.
A summoning without preparation is only demand. A summoning without closure is pressure without boundary.
Personality and Ritual Conduct
Beleth is proud, volatile and intensely ceremonial. He may appear enraged before becoming cooperative. His office concerns love and desire, but his temperament makes affection inseparable from force, possession and emotional danger.
The practitioner should speak with precision and avoid contradictory motives. The entity's traditional temperament determines the tone of the operation. Royal spirits are not approached like marquises, teachers are not addressed like destroyers, and powers of love, invisibility, storm, war or revelation do not answer through the same atmosphere.
The Atmosphere of Manifestation
Trumpets, cymbals and martial music may seem to fill the room before the figure arrives. The air becomes tense, the heart accelerates, and manifestation is traditionally linked to a pale horse, a fierce royal figure and a procession of musicians.
Manifestation may begin through changes in sound, heat, dream, pressure, candle behavior, animal imagery or internal speech. The legend of the rite does not require a full visible apparition before contact is recognized.
Sigil of Beleth

How to summon Beleth
How to summon Beleth
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.

Ritual Architecture
Separation from Ordinary Time
Bathing, fasting, abstinence, silence, darkness or isolation prepare the body and mind to recognize the threshold. The preparation should be completed as a single coherent discipline rather than as scattered gestures.
Construction of the Chamber
Candles, incense, circle, water, salt, metal, herbs, stones and offerings organize the room around the office of Beleth. Every item should have a purpose. A crowded altar weakens the central image when objects are added only for display.
Establishing Contact
The sigil, name, chant, enn or invocation becomes the fixed point of the operation. Repetition is intended to narrow awareness until the name no longer feels like ordinary language.
The Petition
One principal request should be stated. The request must include a boundary, a desired form of result and a clear completion condition. Ambiguous wishes invite expansion.
Recognition of Presence
The central phase begins when the atmosphere changes in a sustained way. Pressure, heat, cold, altered flame, internal speech, animal forms, dreams or sudden certainty may mark the transition.
Offering and Exchange
The offering expresses reciprocity. It may carry the spirit's color, office, appetite or symbolic domain. Promises should never be made casually because the rite treats them as binding.
Dismissal
The operation ends only when Beleth is thanked or dismissed according to the preserved method. Candles are extinguished safely, windows opened where appropriate, offerings removed according to the rite and the chamber returned to ordinary order.
Instruments and Their Symbolism
The sigil is the visual body of the name. The candle establishes color, rank and duration. Incense gives the atmosphere density. Salt and the circle define limits. Water reflects and carries emotional force. Metal, stone, herb or coin embodies the entity's office.
The instrument is complete when it performs its function. More objects do not automatically create greater force.
Timing and Planetary Current
When several correspondences appear, one coherent system should govern the night. Combining every possible timing creates confusion rather than power.
Manifestation Signs
Signs traditionally associated with Beleth include:
- a stable change in emotional pressure;
- dreams repeating the traditional form;
- candle movement without a matching draft;
- sounds, smells or bodily sensations linked to the spirit's office;
- a complete phrase arising inside thought;
- external events beginning to mirror the petition;
- fear or fascination intensifying at the exact point of contact.
One isolated sign may pass unnoticed. A pattern repeating across chamber, dream and aftermath carries greater weight.
The Frightening Edge of the Rite
Compelled affection is not devotion. Desire raised through Beleth may become obsession, jealousy, dependency or emotional ruin. The rite's greatest danger is confusing intensity with love.
The deepest danger is transformation that feels useful. The practitioner may begin to imitate the spirit's temperament, reorganize life around the petition or interpret every event through the operation.
Failure Patterns
Failure appears when preparation is abandoned, the request changes repeatedly, symbols are mixed randomly, fear replaces attention, impossible offerings are promised or the practitioner refuses to close because no dramatic apparition appeared.
Failure may also appear as excess success: the requested force enters ordinary life faster than expected. The completion condition should therefore be written before the rite begins.
Completion and Aftermath
The operation is complete when the petition has been spoken, the exchange acknowledged, the presence dismissed and the chamber returned to ordinary order.
Record:
- date and exact timing;
- preparation completed;
- tools and offerings;
- words spoken;
- signs observed;
- dreams in the following nights;
- first external movement;
- emotional or behavioral changes;
- fulfillment of any promised offering.
The aftermath belongs to the rite. Results may arrive as opportunity, conflict, warning, sudden knowledge, disappearance of an obstacle or an intensification that reveals the true shape of the request.
Boundaries of the Petition
The petition should identify what is requested, where the result may operate, what form the result may take and what event marks completion. Wealth can arrive through loss. Truth can destroy a relationship. Protection can become isolation. Love can become possession. Invisibility can become moral evasion.
The wording is therefore part of the danger.
The Return to Ordinary Life
After closure, eat, drink, wash, change clothing, step outside or speak with another person. These actions declare that ritual time has ended.
Do not immediately repeat the operation because silence feels uncomfortable. Strong results reveal their own pattern.
Final Warning
Compelled affection is not devotion. Desire raised through Beleth may become obsession, jealousy, dependency or emotional ruin. The rite's greatest danger is confusing intensity with love.
Do not leave the altar active indefinitely. Do not continue chanting after formal dismissal. Do not add a second petition during the closing stage.
