Just a quick note here in comment to all you Demonolaters....Although your books classify Belial as ruling the element of Earth...HE IS NOT, repeat, NOT an elemental! Please take note of this! Misinformation is spread from a myriad of sources...some of the current books on Demonalatry reflect some gross errors in this regard. (IMG:

I'm sorry to tell you but, it kinda has to do with your own subjective views. If you work with Belial
as an elemental, then he acts that way. If you work with him
as a demon, he works that way. If you work with him
as the demon elemental of earth, then that is how he acts. Everything, in this respect, is subjective. I can work with an Angel, but, with my views and such, I would be working with what others would consider the "demonic" side of an Angel. The same thing goes for other people.
In this respect, truly, you seem to be wrong. You saying he isn't an elemental is like me saying that Gabriel isn't an angel. All it is is point of view. You may say that we are confusing people, but, in all honesty we are just sharing our opinions, as are you. If someone sees one of the posts and decided to use the new elemental they heard of, Belial, they will probably go and look it up. If they are discouraged by the fact that others consider him a 'demon,' then they won't treat him as such. No harm, no foul.
Also, what makes you think he isn't an elemental? Have you ever treated him as such? I mean, sure, the grimoires refer to him as a demon of lies ( as they refer to most), but don't they also say that Astaroth is a male demon? The same Ataroth that has and still is worshipped as Astarte, a goddess of fertility?
Belial, looking for other experiences with the demon
