"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 :)

Well,now I've learned a lot. Not only from you but from Lee Wilson. You paint a repulsive yet intriguing figure.

Thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

How strange that someone would choose to write about those who would destroy our souls... Not exactly something I'd read, but if that is your thing, I won't judge.

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

Thank you for your feedback.

[Tyler Collins]

This whole alter Ego is pretty awesome, a poem for different demons. Demons need love too lol.

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

Thank you very much. They sure do lol

[Sethnicity]

I like this a lot! the structure is solid the subject matter is tight.
Appear is used a bit to much but you can easily rephrase or use another word for that! all and All Great write!

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

Thank for your feedback and constructive critcism, which I've taken on board. thanks again.

[Penlady]

Yes, non-apologetic and isn't that what writing is? Writing about that which one is delving into , trying to believe OR believing. Thank you poet!

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

You for got to add additional lenage. He is also in relation to Rah, who is Lucifer. I once happened up on a song that named all these deities. As a Christian I also. Try to educate my self on. On these matters. I have learned much in my time. Interesting that one would speak outwardly upon these things. People should not takeos these "Spiritual matters lightly".

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

I agree. thank you very much for your feedback.
