Berithia

Lithically morphing the Alchemic root within the long theological history of The Lesser Keys of Solomon, Baal-Berith is a Great Duke of Hell, powerful and terrible, and has twenty-six legions of demons under its command. Berith tells things of the past, present and future with true answers and can also turn all metals into gold, give dignities to men and confirm them. Berith speaks with a clear and subtle voice, and as recounted in Aleister Crowley's Illustrated Goetia, is a liar when not answering questions.


The demonic name was surely taken from Baal Berith (god), a form of Baal worshiped in Berith (Beirut), Phoenicia.

In Alchemy, Berith was also the element with which all metals could be transmuted into gold.
