In the old sources his name is used as a synonym for Satan and he is one of the most commonly recognized personifications of evil. It is even thought that the name "Belial" (or Beliar) does not refer to any specific spirit but is simply a title signifying wickedness.

Other meanings of the name include "destruction," "ruin," "death," "the abyss," "lawlessness," "or "without a master." This grimoire, however, is based on the idea that the name of this powerful demon king is related to the word "Sheol," or "the abyss." In the Qabalistic scheme of the Tree of Life and Tree of Death, "the abyss" is the title attributed to the hidden Sephira Daath, which in its positive sense translates to "Knowledge" and from the perspective of the Qliphoth is known as "The Worthless One," referring to Belial, and it is often believed to be the dwelling place of the demon king.

The Initiate on the path of the Qliphoth meets Belial at the threshold of the Abyss, where he guards the gateway that connects the bright and the dark sides of the Qabalistic Tree. Thus, in the initiatory process of the Nightside, he assists in preparation of consciousness for the opening of the Gate of Daath. As one of Draconian guides and initiators on the path, he manifests with a reptilian skin, the scaly skin of a serpent or a dragon, representing the mystical armor that protects the Initiate in Qliphothic tunnels and labyrinths, and by assuming his god-form, we too become protected from being devoured and destroyed by the immensity of the Abyss.

In this grimoire, written together with my spiritual brother, Edgar Kerval, I present results of my personal work with Belial as the Guardian of the Gate to the Abyss. In my experience, this is his foremost function and service that he offers to the Initiate on the path of the Qliphoth. I do not see him as equivalent to other spirits or deities such as Baal or Beelzebub, although such theories have been proposed by other authors and practitioners, and indeed, there are certain shared powers and attributes that allow for such associations. In my own work, however, I encountered Belial while entering Daath/the Abyss, and I believe that this is where we should seek his gnosis. I do not see him as a spirit of the earth and all things material, either, which is a theory derived from Anton LaVey’s The Satanic Bible.

What I present here is the result of my personal experience, and if you want to find out about other ways to approach the knowledge and wisdom of this powerful demon king, I’m sure you will find it in other sources. In this book the demon king is presented as the Guardian of the Abyss and a being of multiple faces. You will find here an introduction to his mythology as well as evocative rituals that will help you explore his gnosis in your personal practice.

My part of the grimoire is called “The Revealed Path of Belial,” while Edgar writes about “The Hidden Path of Belial.” It contains the magical profile of the demon king, his sigil and explanation how to work with it, invocation that will help you absorb his essence, and information on how to enter his temple and successively embrace his path for the sake of self-empowerment.

The chapters included in my part of the book are as follows:

Chapter 1: Belial

Chapter 2: The Sigil of Belial

Chapter 3: Invocation of the Demon King

Chapter 4: The Gate of Abyss

Chapter 5: The Temple of Belial

Chapter 6: The Eye of the Demon King

Chapter 7: The Mysteries of the Reaper

Chapter 8: Gnosis of the Threshold
