    Baal (/ˈbeɪl/ BAYL; sometimes

    spelled Bael, Baël (French), Baell, Buel) is one of


    the kings of Hell in 17th-century goetic occult
    writings. The name is drawn from the Canaanite
    deity Baal mentioned in the Hebrew Bible as the
    primary god of the Phoenicians.
    In this hierarchy, Baal (usually spelt "Bael" in this
    context; there is a possibility that the two figures
    aren't connected) is ranked as the first and principal
    king of Hell, ruling over the East. According to some
    authors, Baal is a Duke with sixty-six legions of
    demons under his command. According to Johann
    Weyer's Pseudomonarchia daemonum, he has the
    power to make those who invoke him invisible or
    wise. In The Lesser Key of Solomon, specifically
    the Goetia, Bael only has the power to make men
    invisible.[1]
    During the English Puritan period, Baal was either
    compared to Satan or considered his main assistant.
    Some demonologists believe his power is stronger in
    October. The origin of Halloween in Samhain was
    believed to involve pagan worship and sacrifice to
    Baal.[2][3][4][5]
    While his Semitic predecessor was depicted as a
    man or a bull,[6] the demon Baal, also according to
    the Pseudomonarchia daemonum, is said to appear
    in the forms of a man, cat, toad, or combinations
    thereof, and has a raspy voice when he
    speaks.[7] An illustration in Jacques Collin de
    Plancy's 1818 book Dictionnaire Infernal placed the
    heads of the three creatures onto a set
    of spider legs.[8
