Bayemon

Bechaud

In the Grimoire of Pope Honorius (Le Grimoire
du Pape Honorius), a book alleged to be written
by Pope Honorius III in the eighteenth century,
Bayemon is named as the king of the western infernal regions (see KINGS OF HELL).

In the Grimorium Vernum (Grimoire of Truth),
Bechaud is listed as one of the eighteen SERVITORS OF SYRACH (see SYRACH). The Grimorium
Vernum was allegedly written by Alibek the
Egyptian in Memphis, Egypt, in 1517, and was
published in French and Latin. However,
scholars generally agree that it was most likely
written sometime during the eighteenth century,
and in Rome, Italy. Arthur Waite translated and
republished large portions of it in his own book,
The Book of Ceremonial Magic (1911).

Bearded Demon, The

Bedary

The Bearded Demon, so named for his beard
of remarkable note, is otherwise nameless. He is
sought out for his knowledge regarding the
secrets of the Philosopher’s Stone, as King
Solomon and Paracelsus are said to have done.
This demon is often confused with the demons
Barbartos and BARBAS, and Barbu.

In the Theurgia Goetia, book two of the
Lemegeton, Bedary is one of the twelve named
Duke SERVITORS OF CARNESIEL (see CARNESIEL
and DUKES OF HELL).

(see KINGS OF HELL, PAYMON, and PRINCES OF
HELL). If offerings are made to PAYMON, Beball

Originally he was known as Baal-zebub, the
chief god of Ekron, a Philistine city. The priests
of that city practiced divination based on the
flight of flies. In contemporary Christianity,
Beelzebub (“God of Flies,” “Lord Fly of Flies”)
is an alternative name for SATAN or the DEVIL.
He has been given a wide array of rank and titles
including chief of false gods, the devil’s chief of
staff, founder of the ORDER OF THE FLY, grand
chief, governor of hell, prime minister of the Infernal Spirits, prince, supreme chief of the Infernal Empire, and sub-prince. Demonic hierarchies
have him under the command of SATAN (see
PRIME MINISTERS and PRINCES OF HELL).
As a FALLEN ANGEL, formerly of the Order
of Cherubim, he became the demon of gluttony,
luck, money, the North, pride, and prosperity.
