Since walpurgisnacht I was doing an intense working with Belial with the goal of empowering my strengths and purging my weaknesses. To say the working was a success would be an understatement. After only a month, Belial has completely changed my life and made me a completely different person. I have never had my shit in order as much as a do know and magickally, my power has grown exponentially.
Background:
Belial was one of the spirits that I felt an immediate connection, as I started delving in the occult, way back when. When I joined this forum and was gathering all the information I could get, his name was always popping up everywhere. Thinking “this Belial fellow sure looks interesting” I called upon him a few times, to basically get me out of the messes Ive made for myself and he did that graciously every time. At that point, I had no idea that Belial was the primary spirit who has watched over me my entire life, which is why I always had an unending stroke of good luck and always prevailed in dire situations basically unscathed. However, it wasnt all sunshine and rainbows in Belial town. In my life, Ive been put trough hell and back numerous times, which has now become apparent, that these events were specifically orchestrated by him and possibly by other spirits, as “trials by fire” to shape my personality. Since I was a child, Ive always been quite the rebel. I rejected society as a whole, religion and anything else that wasnt in line with my personal principles. Now you could imagine my surprise when Ive found out how much Belial and I share in our personalities. Even my profile photo, that I chose specifically for the phrase “no gods, no masters”, was chosen before I knew, that the name Belial, holds a meaning without a master and him being the demon of lawlessness, anarchy and resistance.
Aside from being overly self indulgent, I felt it was important to illustrate the depth of my connection with Belial. Now on to the interesting stuff.
The working:
I evoked Belial on walpurgisnacht, feeling it was time for me to stop being a little bitch in general, as well as magickally. I requested him for empowerment of my strengths and purging of my weaknesses, and we entered a sort of unofficial pact, where I would call upon him for a month every night. And so I did. After a few days I was invited to feed on his energy, I did so through his sigil, feeding as you normally would on a human. This seems to be a more direct form of invocation, that resulted in a light form of possession. Effects of this were the increase in my magickal power and abilities, a shift in personality which made me rebel against all the bullshit in my life and a direct line to communicate with Belial, without the need of ritual.
For those of you considering doing this method yourselves, I advise asking for permission from the spirit first. I was invited to do this, I cant imagine calling on Azazel and then starting to munch on his nipples out of nowhere, being a fun experience for either of you.
After the month has passed, I became a completely new person. The partial possession has lifted and it made me really miss my Belial safety blanket. However, I became stronger in will, mind and body, I have ended my cycle of procrastination and now have my life in order. A huge boost of confidence is also apparent coupled with the fact I dont take shit from no one anymore. Not that I did before, but that goes doubly now. I feel centered, like Im finally my own man without any residual insecurities. All in the span of a month! I expected great results, but nothing to this extent. So I highly endorse “Belials 12 steps program for self improvement and life destruction”! More on the fact I added “life destruction” to that later.
On Belial:
This section will serve as a guide to new people wanting to work with him, since I see so many new members asking about him.
Belial is a bad ass motherfucker who gives a grand total of zero fucks. He doesnt mess around. This is not to discourage anyone, because he truly is a great mentor, a powerful ally and all around the best thing since sliced bread, but he is a tough love kind of demon. He always has your best interests in mind at all times, but he will not pussy foot around. The deal is this - he knows your life is bullshit and since you have called upon him, deep down, you know that too. The change Belial will bring in your life will be drastic, and you need to let go of all of your attachments to your current situation, if you want for him to improve it. Because he does it his way. And it IS his way or the highway.
Now, that does not mean he will not expect backlash from you, in fact, he welcomes it. We are humans and drastic change scares us, he gets that, so you will have his respect just for asking him to bring it. He also wants you to show some backbone. The fact that Belial and I have similar personalities, created an interesting dynamic where we butted heads on several occasions during that month, since I didnt like the extreme ways he was using to get me to where I need to be. All of the times, except for one, he respected me for it. The one time he didnt, I was being more of a cunt than he was and he told me to chill the fuck out, which was fair enough. Essentially you both know that what he is doing is for your sake, but he does it in a rough way, so when you tell him that hes being a lot to handle, but still roll with it, thats fine. Its when you try to reject his efforts, thats when he has a problem with you.
Belial may make fun of you, tease you and push your buttons in a playful asshole kind of way and honestly, thats what I like about him. He doesnt sugar coat shit, he can be a little coy at times, but he is very much a straight shooter.
Calling on Belial to enact personal change felt very much like stepping on my life. I called upon him to make me a better person, so the havoc I felt was very much psychological. For example, about half way through the month. I basically thought I went insane and none of this was real. Ive begun thinking, all of this was in my head and asked for him to give me a sign, that what was happening, was real. He basically told me to fuck off and then, for a few days. I had to continue the working In the biggest doubt in magick Ive ever had until then. After I persevered, he graciously took care of a little problem I was having. as a reward and proof of the reality of the situation. Needless to say I dont doubt him anymore. Thats the kind of work and dedication Belial expects from you when you call upon him.
Last note, although my work with Belial was focused on personal alchemy, some of his influence spilled over onto my physical life. Essentially, he showed me all of the bullshit that was happening in my life, that needed fixing. As I result, I have ended a dead end of a relationship and when asked about it, he told me that was all me. Since the deal was for him to change me internally, he was more or less neutral to my physical circumstances. He merely showed to me what was holding me back and left taking action up to me.
I hope all of this will prepare you for what to expect when working with Belial and I very much advise you that you do. Keep in mind your experiences may differ from mine, he may very well be more gentle with you, he does adapt to the individual and to what they can handle. In my experience, that was not something I wanted, nor was it something that would have been beneficial to me. If youre at a point in your life where you are ready to stop messing around and ready to reclaim your power, chances are, he is already reaching out to you. Hell, if youve read through all of that that, there is definitely a connection being made, so man up and go for it.
Special shout out to @Lady_Eva for confirming my experience and to Belial himself for making me a better person!
