![]() ![]() In the Grand Grimoire, Bael (as Baal) is listed as a subordinate of Lucifuge Rofocale. Bael appears in later editions of The Grimoire of Pope Honorius, under Astaroth, as a prince whose powers include (again) invisibility and popularity. Sloane MS 3824 mentions Baal, in 'Of the Demon Rulers,' as a king ruled by Oriens, attributed with teaching science, (again) granting invisibility, and controlling 250 legions of spirits. The Liber Officium Spirituum features Baal, Baall, Boal, or Boall, again a hoarsely-voiced king (or sometimes a soldier), with not only powers of invisibility but also sciences and love. ![]() In the Livre des Esperitz, Bael (as Beal) is described as a king ruled by Orient (Oriens), still possessing the power of invisibility, as well as the power to garner the favor of others, but ruling over only six legions of demons. He is described as a hoarsely-voiced king with the power to make men invisible and ruling over sixty-six legions of demons.The Lesser Key of Solomon describes him as appearing in the form of a cat, toad, man, some combination thereof, or other 'divers shapes', while the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum and the Dictionnaire Infernal state that he appears with the heads of a cat, toad, and human simultaneously.Jacques Collin de Plancy wonders if Bael is the same as the Canaanite deity Baal, a reasonable conclusion. Bael is a demon described in demonologicalgrimoires such as the Lesser Key of Solomon and the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum (where he is the first spirit mentioned) and also in the Dictionnaire Infernal. ![]()
