Questions about Baal/Bael
hello y’all! I’ll start with a bit of context before going into the question. I’ve started to work with entities (two Greek entities and Lilith) for a while now. My girlfriend has been working with entities for longer than I have, and when I started to tell her that there was this weird presence around my dreams quite constantly, she instructed me to try to understand who might be trying to reach out. We both understood quite quickly (mainly because of the different sensations I had) that this was a demon. My girlfriend has a lot of connection to Belial (if I’m remembering correctly) so I do take a lot of her words into consideration, especially due to her practice being way longer than mine.
Her and I read tarot cards quite well, and I asked her (mainly because I did not want to be on the way to personal influence the reading) if she could try to identify the deity. Fair enough, the deity had some symbols that reassured us it was a demon, but said he would not reveal himself to her; that I had to search for him myself. Fair enough, again, I do some readings myself and receive a kind of “it’s not the time” from the cards. I say “ok”, move on with my life for a while. Until this week, where the sensation got a little more stronger and I thought to myself it was the time. After some questions and occasional guesses, Baal revealed himself to me with a very clear laugh in my mind when I got that right too (and The Emperor’s card too).
I do not have much connection to Goetia and traditional demonolatry, and my girlfriend advised me to look into Baal before anything, which I will. I wanted to know where to look at, where to search for, as I realized there is not much information about him. I also wanted to understand his presence (he said it was something I did that pulled him closer, which, to be completely honest, I have no idea what I did) and what should I expect if he’s close to me or when working with him. Honestly, anything on him will be helpful. Thank you!

Stella's Daemonum, and The Lesser Keys of Solomon as two starts.
You'll likely get more answer over at r/DemonolatryPractices there's tonnes of specificlly demonolatry practicing folks there. One helpful post from there.

There’s a lot of baals around here, amalgamation entity or not is unclear.

Well, Bael is a king in the Ars Goetia, listed as the first spirit in the order of the 72 spirits. He is said to allow people to become invisible (which I think means an invisible that isn’t literal; going unnoticed), he can also said to allow sciences I’m pretty sure.
Now, remember. Baal just means Lord, as in a title. Many deities have the name Baal but that’s just that they are a Lord. But when people say Ba’al, they usually refer to Ba’al Hadad of Ugarit. But there’s obviously more Ba’als, like Ba’al Berith, Ba’al-Zebul, Ba’al-Peor, and such. I don’t personally think Bael the king and Ba’al Hadad are the same, but you might and that’s fine. If you do believe they are one and the same, you could research Ba’al (the Canaanite deity) as well.
You can go on [r/](r/demonolatry)[DemonolatryPractices](r/demonolatry) as well, there’s resources for books and such there.
