Berith (also Baal-berith) is a Great Duke of Hell, powerful and terrible, and has twenty-six legions of demons under his command. He tells things of the past, present and future with true answers; he can also turn all metals into gold, give dignities to men and confirm them. He speaks with a clear and subtle voice, and as recounted in Aleister Crowley's Illustrated Goetia, he is a liar when not answering questions. To speak with him the conjurer must wear a silver ring and put it before his face in the same form as it is needed in Beleth's case and demons do before Amaymon. He is depicted as a soldier wearing red clothes, a golden crown, and riding a red horse. Books on the subject tell that he is called according to whom invokes him, being called Berith by the Jews (see below). According to some demonologists from the 16th century, his power is stronger in June, meanwhile to Sebastien Michaelis he suggests murder and blasphemy and his adversary is St. Barnabas. His name was surely taken from Ba'al Berith, a form of Baal worshiped in Berith ( Beirut), Phoenicia. In Alchemy Berith was the element with which all metals could be transmuted into gold. [ citation needed] "Berith" is the Hebrew word for covenant, it was originated from the Akkadian (Babylonian) word "Biritu" which means "to fetter" or "to bond".

The book is similar to Ars Goetia, the first book of The Lesser Key of Solomon, a famous grimoire that contains 72 demons and their seals. However, Pseudomonarchia Daemonum predates Ars Goetia and it lists only 69 demons, some of whom have different names, ranks, or characteristics. ( See comparison.) Moreover, Pseudomonarchia Daemonum does not provide any sigils or symbols for the demons, unlike Ars Goetia. Both books are based on older sources, such as the Liber officiorum spirituum (Book of the Offices of Spirits), a manuscript attributed to King Solomon. Reginald Scot and His Translation of Pseudomonarchia Daemonum Inhale and exhale peacefully, but every time you exhale, imagine that you are breathing into the third eye until you receive this effect, which is the first step in opening the third eye chakra and receiving spiritual visions and being able to communicate with spirits. Note: Due to the nature of having several different translations over the centuries, expect to see alternative spellings a lot.

Which is an excellent tool that has ancient roots in all of mankind. It enlightens and empowers people which is exactly what organized religion wants to suppress.” Berith was a prince of the Cherubim. He tempts men to commit homicide, and to be quarrelsome, contentious, and blasphemous. He is opposed by St. Barnabas.
