History[]
According to the writings in The Lesser Key of Solomon, Berith is the twenty-eighth demonic spirit listed in the Ars Goetia. He is a great duke of Hell with twenty-six legions of demons under his command. He is depicted as a knight or soldier wearing red armor and a golden crown; according to other grimoires, his skin is also red. He rides a gigantic red horse and burns those without manners.
In order to speak with him, the conjurer must wear a silver ring and hold it before their face. He gives true answers to all things past, present and future as long as he is asked, but when not answering questions he is a liar. He can turn any metal into gold, give dignities and confirm them. As an angel, Berith was prince of the order of cherubim.

Berith was important to some alchemists, who believed he had the power to transmute all base metals into gold.

In Michaelis' classification of demons, he tempts people with murder, contention, strife and blasphemy, and his adversary is St. Barnabas.
Berith may be derived from Baal-Berith, a god worshiped in Canaan before he came to be viewed as a demon under Christian demonology.
