"Bael" (Demon #1)

King Bael (Baal). The First demon from the 'Ars Goetia'.

                               "Bael" (Demon #1)

I am Bael from the Goetia, the Egyptian God Osris in disguise/
Escaping from Soloman's bindings, no Humanity shows in my eyes
My Sigil the image of a stick figure, extended crosses in both hands/
My humour is formal religion, designed by angels to entrap all man
Successfully drawing thousands, of angelic followers into my lair/
As a silent attack upon the angels, and three heads is how I appear
As I am Bael the king of the east, the ruler to sixty-six legions/
Emerging from an inverted crown, I am the king of all demons
Many subconscious reasons, why many humans feel an impulse/
They worship me as a spirit, I appear reptillian and my voice is coarse
I can make myself invisible, and summon the invisible upon request/
I am a 'Early human father', the fallen angels architect
My dialect is that of hebrew, but yet very Alien when I appear/
I can appear as a man, a cat or a toad, my cunning reflected here
Definately not the one to trust, but neither the one to blame/
As I represent three elements, of what is the evolved human brain.

The first book of the Lesser Keys of Solomon..hmmm.. I to have found inspiration from this extraordinary book..I shall not embark on my personal beliefs but somethings should left alone..because the Human mind is weak....Bael, not a demon to mess with LOL

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

Thank you for your feedback. Yes that is true some human minds can be weak, but it takes an awful lot of intelligence & power to summon these Demons but wow what a party when you do lol ;)

[Marie]

One could almost be tempted to try. One day I'll post a ballad about this...

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

Lol, do be careful though, they've got this awful habit of not doing what you tell them to, cheeky buggers lol. I very much look forward to this ballad :)

[Marie]

Well, it's not about summoning a particular demon...just your reguar wish granting demon...

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

I'm not quite sure there is one, but if you find him, do make a wish for me won't you :)

[David Scott]

The thing is, demons are real I think. Yet they lie. Even their descriptions are false. Truth mixed in with just enough deception to fool those who would study this cosmology. Interesting and talented writing.

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

I agree, they are very much real, my friend. Absolutely, what with each having many aliases & means to appear in different forms, it sure can get a little confusing. I couldnt agree with you more. Thank you. Thanks for reading :)

[David Scott]

It amazes me when people think the spiritual realm is only angles and clouds... You have quite a vivid collection of the reality of the demonic characters who work to humanities demise.

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

They have a lot to learn. Thank you very much, it's much appreciated :)

[Rogue]

I will be honest. When I first read the titles I was afraid I was about to be beaten down with sermons of dark religion. I was pleasantly surprised to find this was not the case at all.
I like the way you approached these pieces. Letting each speak for theirselves. Quite unique. :)

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

Thank you very much Rogue. I am pleased that you took the time to check out my Goetian Demon series, it really is much appreciated. Thanks again :)

[Sam Gregory]

Well, this is different :) Dont ussually come across this kinda stuff. I used to be a horrorcore rapper so was very inspired by demonology etc. Good work, very impressive :)

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

Thanks bro. I'm pleased that these pieces are of interest to you. I'm a big fan of horrorcore rap, also ;)

[Sam Gregory]

You heard Rhyme Asylum? They're my fav horrorcore group

[Ars Goetia Poetry]
