The Lesser Key of Solomon
The 17th-century grimoire "The Lesser Key of Solomon" mentions Belial, as does Aleister Crowley's "Goetia" (1904) and Anton LaVey's "The Satanic Bible" (1969). In "The Satanic Bible" ("The Book of Belial"), Belial means "without a master", and symbolizes independence, self-sufficiency, and personal accomplishment.
