'''Belial''' ("Worthless") is a conceptual eleventh [[qlippoth]] on the [[Kabbalah|Kabbalistic]] [[Tree of Death]] where all the other qlippoth unite. It is the shadow opposite sphere of [[Da'at]], its opposing [[sefirot]] on the [[Tree of Life]].

==Etymology==
The term ''belial'' (בליאל, ''bĕli-yaal'') with the broader meaning of "worthlessness" is used through the [[Bible|Old Testament]] to denote those who are against [[Yahweh|God]] or at least against God's order.

It is possible that there is a connection between the [[goetic demon]] [[Belial]] and this qlippoth as there is with the qlippoth representing both [[Samael]] and [[Lilith]], but the exact nature of this relationship is ill-defined.

==Description==
Belial is the opposite of [[Da'at]], which literally means "knowledge;" but this [[qlippoth]] represents a complete separation from anything divine, therefore, it is worthless. It also embodies the dark side of knowledge, when knowledge of secret information is used for selfish purposes or when knowledge of spiritual truths is perverted for personal gain or put toward an evil goal.

On the [[Tree of Death]], Belial is separate from the tree itself, and serves as a gateway between the realms.

==Occult correspondences==
In the [[tarot]], Belial is represented by [[the Fool]] card.
