Also recorded as Bileth, Bilet
Causing love between men and women. [1]
Goetia 1904
Scot calls the king Bileth and gives the same pale horse, approaching music, furious arrival and eighty-five legions. His account is unusually long. It describes a hazel rod, a triangle outside the circle, the reading of the bond of spirits, and a silver ring held before the face on the middle finger of the left hand. [2][1]
The passage treats Bileth’s royal pride as part of the encounter: he is to be received courteously and honoured as a king. It also places him in the order of Powers and reports a hope of returning to the seventh throne. These ceremonial and hierarchical details accompany an office centred on persistent love between men and women. [2][1]
