"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 ;)

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 :)

Thank you ever so much for taking the time to have a read. I'm glad that you enjoyed this piece :)

[RachelReaper]

A very original idea, I must commend you for this, i definitely wouldn't have thought to do something like this.

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

Thank you very much. That's really kind of you to say :)

[quinfinn]

nice write...i don't fear demons, through the course of my life i have been visited before by things and souls unholy...my attitude is that man does himself harm enough without the help of demons or angels, for man is inherently evil and does enough against himself and others to insure his place in the bowels of fiery redemption and atonement...those souls who believe in a loving god are too stupid to realize that they don't deserve a loving god, for they point their dirty, nasty little fingers at each other and judge, without authority and with impunity. as for your exploration along demonology, be careful what you wish for....

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

Thank you very much. I really like your comment on this piece, I totally agree :)

[That_Guy]

Very interesting, good flow. I look forward to checking out the others.

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

Thank you very much. Please do :)

[Shane Blackheart]

So awesome, I loved it! The flow, the rhyme, it was all very good. I have a copy of Michelle Belanger's book "The Dictionary of Demons", so I am very familiar with all of them. I have also looked over most of the Goetia, and the Keys of Solomon, among other texts such as the Grand Grimoire and the Grimoirum Verum. They're very interesting books and manuscripts, and something I've been interested in for some time.

All of that aside, though this was nothing short of completely brilliant. I'm going to read your others for sure!

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

[Fabsfan]

Very very cool...nice structure and form. I really liked it. Found 1 tiny mistake...it should read "I am AN 'Early human father"....but damned good anyway. Looking forward to reading more.

[Ars Goetia Poetry]
