The Goetic demon Beleth as depicted in the Occult Tarot and the Demon-Possessed Tarot

Beleth, also spelled Bilet, Bileth, Byleth, or Bilith, is a King of Hell who has eighty-five legions of demons under his command.

According to Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, Noah's son Ham was the first in invoking him after the flood, and wrote a book on mathematics with his help.

Appearance

Beleth rides a pale horse, and a variety of music is heard before him, according to most authors on demonology and the most known grimoires. When appearing, he looks fierce in order 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.

The Dictionnaire Infernal states that to summon Beleth, the person should hold a silver ring on the middle finger of the left hand against his face, to pay respect to Beleth's rank as king.

In the Ars Goetia, Beleth is the 13th demon summoned by King Solomon.
