Are you feeling restless? Rebellious? Eager to sow your wild oats? Then you may be in the presence of Belial, Lord of Pride, Bringer of Corruption, and Crown Prince of Hell.
“In courts and palaces he also reigns
John Milton, “Paradise Lost”
And in luxurious cities, where the noise
Of riot ascends above their loftiest towers
And injury and outrage; and, when night
Darkens the streets, then wander forth the sons
Of Belial, flown with insolence and wine.”

Taking the form of a tall, attractive man, Belial is known for using deceit and seduction to fill his acolytes with an insatiable appetite for sex and violence. His self-reliance and fierce independence, as well as his unwillingness to bow to any master, make him a very magnetic personality. However, he also preys on the guilt of those who indulge, pulling them deeper into his vicious circle. If you’re prone to hating yourself in the morning, you may want to sit this party out.
