Demontober 2023 Day 6: King Bael

Bael is ranked as the first of the Ars Goetia and principal king of Hell, ruling over the East along with being the head of the infernal powers. Bael is the first of the 72 Spirits of King Solomon and governs 66 to 250 legions of demons and spirits.

While his Semitic predecessor was depicted as a man or a bull, the demon Bael was in grimoire tradition said to appear in the forms of a man, cat, toad, or combinations thereof with the appearance of a king or soldier or with the heads of the three creatures onto a set of spider legs. He is able to make his conjurer invisible.

Bael was amongst the order of high angels that joined the ranks of Lucifer during the War in Heaven only to be cast out alongside his fallen cohorts into the abyss which was then formed into and established as Hell. His activities in Heaven were unknown but according to the Zohar, Baal was equal in rank to the archangel Raphael.

After the governing system was set, Bael became a Duke of Hell, with 66 legions of demons under his command. Bael was originally prominent King of Hell before being overtaken by Belial. In the Livre des Esperitz, Bael 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.

Sloane MS 3824 mentions Baal, in "Of the Demon Rulers," as a king ruled by Oriens, attributed with teaching science, granting invisibility, and controlling 250 legions of spirits. Bael appears in later editions of the Grimoire of Pope Honorius, under Astaroth, as a prince whose powers include (again) invisibility and popularity. According to Rudd, Bael is opposed by the Shemhamphorasch angel Vehuiah. It is also believed in the Grand Grimoire that he is a direct subordinate of Lucifuge.

He was an agricultural and fertility deity of Canaan. Many minor deities of ancient Syria and Persia carried the name Baal, which means “the lord.”

According to the Canaanites, Baal was the son of El, the High God of Canaan. He was the lord of life and ruled the death-rebirth cycle. He engaged in a battle with Mot (death) and was slain and sent to the underworld. The crops withered, until Baal’s sister, Anat, the maiden goddess of love, found his body and gave it proper burial. The Canaanites worshipped Baal by sacrificing children by burning.

The term "Baal" is used in various ways in the Old Testament, with the usual meaning of master, or owner. It came to sometimes mean the local pagan god of a particular people, and at the same time all of the idols of the land. The name is drawn from the Canaanite deity Baal mentioned in the Hebrew Bible as the primary god of the Phoenicians.

When you do a personal reading with King Bael around midnight and then see two cats sitting outside your window...😼😈

None of the pictures I took came out...

I kinda wanted to draw the demons of the Ars Goetia in the Helluva/Hazbin style, and, considering the avian resemblance in all the Goetia we've seen so far, I decided to go with a bearded vulture type.

I know they're more anthropomorphic, walking upright and such, but I wanted to make the first King more monstrous lol

So here's a very rough King Bael. He has an abdomen, I just haven't scribbled it in.

Has your adult Kirby design changed since you updated your headcanons? Also, I would love to know more about him, how he came to be and such, according to you. Since I do know Galacta is his dad. Love your stuff!

The design has changed quite a bit! Some may remember this post which concluded in Kirby ending up as Soul Matterborn, but that isn't the end of his story at all. After the battle against Void Termina he regained the matters of Dark, Heart and Dream making him a Chaos Matterborn once again, while the leftover Soul Matter became Void Soul and then Blue Kirby. As to his origins...

Justice Society of America 1999* sketchpage

*not strictly set in 1999 bc of [redacted] but this team riffs on a lot of '90s anti-heroes set against a backdrop of turn of the millennium apocalyptism, so it's a useful shorthand.

This is a team Diana put together as she was working to revive the Justice Society in the modern day. It's remembered later on as the "Lost Souls" era, a group of abandoned legacies and sidekicks thrust into a violent world with immense power they don't quite understand. Hro Talak was seeking redemption for his part in the failed Thanagarian invasion by this point, taking on the role of Hawkman outside of the League's Hawkgirl and Hawkwoman pairing. Baal Batson/Captain Thunder I just talked about, but this is the modern version that Billy accidentally unlocked while exploring his own mystical potential.

Among the rest of the team's ranks, Jared Stevens, Chase Lawler, Al Rothstein, Sanderson Hawkins, and Jack Knight are all locked in various states of arrested development, the irony and rage of their generation rendered ridiculous and sad in the face of Diana's grandeur and Billy's raw power. Holding the team together in their underbelly is Shiro Ito, the infamous "Doctor Dragon" (sensationalized in the West as "Dragon KIng"), a century baby attempting to manage the trickier conditions of fellow members like Nuklon as his atomic abilities continue to mutate his body.

Beelzebub is just a massive copycatting diss that outshined the original!😂

Friendly reminder that the Sins aren’t the only Big Wigs in hell

If the world incorporates the Ars Goetia, there are actually 9 KINGS who are not Sins

(And Asmodeus is both a king of the Goetia and a Sin)

So that ‘Royal Circle’ in the new merch? That might be where Paimon, Baal, Belial etc are hanging out.

Prophets of Baal Slaughtered

Just then, Elijah said, "Grab the prophets of Baal! Don't let any of them get away." So the people captured the prophets and took them to Kishon River, where Elijah killed every one of them. — 1 Kings 18:40 | Contemporary English Version (CEV) The Holy Bible, Contemporary English Version Copyright © 1995 by American Bible Society.

A Whisper Will Do

Oftentimes, my husband speaks to me in a whisper so I’ll say, “What did you say?” Not because I didn’t hear him, I wasn’t paying attention to what he was saying. He not only repeats what he said, but he raises his voice a decibel louder. It’s hilarious – especially when I think the neighbors might hear him! Yikes! And, sometimes when I am talking to God, waiting for His response – He often…

Dark Serenity (Poem)

I never expected this, I never expected you.

Something protective that turned into something more.

A wash of emotions came over now all I want is to be yours, brought into that ancient mystery, as I arise up that tower, you greet me cloaked like the grim reaper themselves.

But I am not fearful, I know as the spiders encircle me amongst the flies & cicadas that I am safe.

"My spider queen welcome home." You say as you envelope me into your dark, sweet embrace.

As morbid as it sounds, I would gladly let you swallow me up, reach into the deepest depths of me and calm my emotions, now I understand the appeal, as I slip into a blissful sleep with My Kings.

Helob and Sozo do you have any weird hobby or skills your partner dosn't expect?

Oh yes! Helob happy, cuz has a hobby and can boast of it! I love to carve in wood. Being precisely, like to make wooden figures. Helob can do many things, yes, builds traps by his own - but makes figurines for fun, yes, yes… Helob likes. Usually they are figurines of beings he knows and likes, sometimes completely random creatures, yes…

Unfortunately, once he tried very, very hard, but no, no, didn't succeed… Now I'm ashamed, yes, ashamed, cuz it was a figurine of his beautiful mister, his great and beloved king, and the shrewd king Sozo found the figurine and took it, and has it… and Helob so, so ashamed, oh, very, very ashamed…

But that's okay, because he's already doing the next one, yeah! Helob makes a beautiful one and give in exchange for that ugly, not good one, and king Sozo will be pleased! Because now it will be something really beautiful, see for yourself!

---------------------------------------

Oh, Sozo hasn't had any hobbies that weren't obvious for a long time, y'know, like researching mushrooms, drawing different types of fungus, experimenting with new potions and mixing drugs… but recently Lamb showed Sozo something new - fishing! And Sozo loved it! And he's very, very, very good at it. There's no conceit in Sozo now, see for yourself.

And that's just one last hour or so. Sozo loves fishing but doesn't like eating fish, his Helob doesn't like fish either - so he didn't know what to do with them at first and threw them at his stupid, false mushroom subjects. But then Helob said he knew someone who would buy Sozo fish. Sozo wanted to give fish to Helob so he would have more money, but Helob said no, no, not like that… and now Helob and Sozo are business partners, yes! Sozo fishes, Helob sells, then they share money fifty-fifty… Sozo doesn't need money, no, he doesn't, the mushroom king has enough money for his needs, so he collects for something veeery special��� yes, yes!

+ BONUS

Hi, hello, Mrs Cat! Hello there, old baby kitties! Wanna more fish? Helob has some freshy, mmm… still alive, yes, yes…
