TERRIFYING!!!! 😱😱😱

When appearing, he looks fierce in order to frighten the conjurer or to see if they are courageous. The conjurer must be brave, and hazel wand in hand, must draw a triangle by striking towards the south, east, and upwards, then commanding Beleth into it by means of some conjurations.

"Cosmic Forces, predating humanity" is an inherently idealistic and non-materialist statement.

Isn't that also... basically most if not all religions and spirituality? Not disagreeing (it is the "opium of the masses" after all) but such idealism/metaphysical beliefs don't necessarily prevent someone from materialistic analysis or being a comrade inherently, and there are many examples of such.

Lilith as outlined in occult pracitces is a supreme force of independence and individuality like Cartman screaming "wha eva I do what I want." basically just peak liberalism.

This is a better point, but even then independence and individuality can be expressed, acted upon, and interpreted in different ways as well (though it almost always is liberalism). More than that though, dismissing people who believe in or like the occult (as someone who doesn't believe in it) or in one deity/spirit/abstract cosmic concept or another doesn't strike me as any different from doing the same to those following other religions/spiritual beliefs.
