Sigil of Bael Stainless Steel Necklace

Bael is the one everyone's heard of, even if they don't know it yet. As the first King of Hell listed in the Ars Goetia, he's basically the opening act — except the opening act commands 66 legions and can teach you to vanish into thin air.

He's described as appearing with three heads at once: a toad, a man, and a cat, all speaking together in a raucous but distinct voice. He rules the east and holds the highest rank in the whole 72-spirit catalogue, and his signature skill is the art of invisibility — going unseen, moving unnoticed, disappearing from situations that no longer serve you (literally or otherwise). Some traditions link him to the older Canaanite god Baal, and to Beelzebub, giving him a lineage that stretches well past the grimoires.

Wear it for protection, for personal sovereignty, for the ability to move through a room — or a bad week — without being caught in anyone's crosshairs. First King, first pick.

• Material: Stainless steel (tarnish-resistant, hypoallergenic-friendly, built for daily wear)
• Design: Bael's sigil from the Ars Goetia, rendered as a 1" pendant
• Chain: 17" length

Who Is Bael?

Bael (also spelled Baal, Ba'al, or Baël) holds the top spot in the Ars Goetia — the first of the 72 spirits and, per the Grand Grimoire, head of the infernal powers overall. He's also the first demon listed in Johann Weyer's earlier Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, which the Ars Goetia draws heavily from, making him one of the oldest and most consistently documented entries in the whole tradition.

He's described as the first King of Hell, holding estates in the east, and commanding 66 legions of spirits — a serious number, even by Goetic standards. His most distinctive feature is his appearance: three heads at once, shaped like a toad, a man, and a cat, speaking in a voice the texts call raucous but well-formed. His specialty is the art of invisibility, teaching those who summon him to go unseen and unnoticed.

Scholars have long connected Bael's name to Baal, the title used for various Canaanite and Near Eastern deities, and some sources link him to Beelzebub as well — a demon whose roots reach back well before the 17th-century grimoires that formalized his place at the top of the list.
