'''Beleth''', also spelled Bilet, Bileth, Byleth, or Bilith, is a King of [[Hell]] who has eighty-five legions of [[demon]]s under his command.  
'''Beleth''' (''Hebrew'': בלאה) (also spelled Bilet, Bileth, Byleth, or Bilith) is a [[Goetic demon]]. It is the thirteenth spirit of the 72 [[demon]]s summoned by [[King Solomon]] according to the ''[[Lesser Key of Solomon]]''. In the [[hierarchy of Hell]], Beleth is a King.


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.
He is ruled over by the [[Kabbalistic angel]] [[Iezalel]].


==Appearance==
==General description==
Beleth rides a pale horse, and a variety of music is heard before him, according to most authors on demonology and the most known [[grimoire]]s. 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.
Beleth rides on a pale horse with trumpets and other kinds of musical instruments playing before him. Astrologically, this spirit signifies wastrels and vagabonds.


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.
He is very furious at his first appearance, that is, while the [[exorcist]] displays his courage; for to do this he must hold a Hazel Wand in his hand, striking it out towards the South and East Quarters, make a [[magic triangle]] outside the Circle, and then commands him into it by reciting the Spirit's Chain. And if he does not enter into the triangle at your threats, rehearse the Chain before him, and then he will yield and come into it, and do what he is commanded by the exorcist.


In the ''[[Goetic demon|Ars Goetia]]'', Beleth is the 13th demon summoned by [[King Solomon]].
Yet, you must receive him courteously because he is a Great King, and do homage unto him, as the Kings and Princes do that attend upon him. And you must have always a Silver Ring on the middle finger of the left hand held against your face, as you do before [[Amaymon]].
 
==Abilities==
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. This Great King Beleth causes all the love that may be, both of men and of women, until the exorcist has had his desire fulfilled. He was of the Order of [[Powers]], and he governs 85 Legions of Spirits.
 
Beleth is a servant demon of those born May 19 - 23.
