Description: Baal (sometimes spelled Bael, Baell, Buel) is one of the seven princes of Hell in 17th-century goetic occult writings. According to some authors, Baal is a Duke with sixty-six legions of demons under his command. According to Francis Barrett, he has the power to make those who invoke him invisible. During the English Puritan period, Baal was either compared to Satan or considered his main assistant. Some demonologists believe his power is stronger in October. The origin of Halloween in Samhain was believed to involve pagan worship and sacrifice to Baal. Baal was in grimoire tradition said to appear in the forms of a man, cat, toad, or combinations thereof.
