Sigil of Belial Stainless Steel Necklace

Belial doesn't do subtlety, and this stainless steel sigil pendant follows suit. He's the 68th spirit of the Ars Goetia, a Mighty and Powerful King said to have been created next after Lucifer himself — which puts him about as high in the hierarchy as it gets.

He appears as two beautiful angels seated in a chariot of fire, speaking with a comely, persuasive voice, and his office covers distributing preferments and senatorships and securing the favor of friends or foes alike — political power, influence, getting people on your side. He governs 80 legions and grants excellent familiars, but he's notoriously particular: he wants offerings before he'll give true answers, and even then won't stick to honesty for more than an hour unless bound by his seal. Persuasive, powerful, and not to be taken at face value — sounds about right for a name that literally means "worthless" or "without value" in Hebrew, later reinterpreted as a personification of the devil himself.

Wear it for influence, for ambition, for the kind of confidence that gets a room on your side — just don't take everything at face value, even from yourself.

• Material: Stainless steel (tarnish-resistant, hypoallergenic-friendly, built for daily wear)

Who Is Belial?

Belial is the 68th spirit of the Ars Goetia, the first book of the Lesser Key of Solomon, ranked as a Mighty and Powerful King — and, notably, said to have been created immediately after Lucifer, placing him near the very top of the infernal hierarchy. He appears in the form of two beautiful angels seated in a chariot of fire, speaking with a comely voice.

His office is to distribute preferments and senatorships and to secure the favor of friends or foes on behalf of whoever summons him. He bestows excellent familiars and governs 80 legions of spirits. He's also one of the more demanding entries in the grimoire: whoever calls on him must bring offerings, gifts, or sacrifices, or he won't give true answers — and even with those, the texts warn he won't hold to honesty for more than an hour unless constrained by divine power or his own seal, worn as a lamin (a protective amulet) by the summoner.

Belial's roots go back much further than the 17th-century grimoires, though. The name comes from Hebrew, meaning roughly "worthless" or "wicked," and it appears throughout the Old Testament as a term for lawlessness and corrupt people — "sons of Belial" — before evolving into a proper name for a figure of evil. In the Dead Sea Scrolls, Belial is cast as the Angel of Darkness, the direct opposite of the Angel of Light, associated with guilt and wickedness brought upon humanity. By the time he lands in the Ars Goetia as a crowned king riding a chariot of fire, he's carrying centuries of accumulated reputation as one of the oldest and most persistent names for evil in Western tradition.
