King Paimon


Original text from the Ars Goetia:

“The Ninth Spirit in this Order is Paimon, a Great King, and very obedient unto LUCIFER. He appeareth in the form of a Man sitting upon a Dromedary with a Crown most glorious upon his head. There goeth before him also an Host of Spirits, like Men with Trumpets and well sounding Cymbals, and all other sorts of Musical Instruments. He hath a great Voice, and roareth at his first coming, and his speech is such that the Magician cannot well understand unless he can compel him. 
This Spirit can teach all Arts and Sciences, and other secret things. He can discover unto thee what the Earth is, and what holdeth it up in the Waters; and what Mind is, and where it is; or any other thing thou mayest desire to know. He giveth Dignity, and confirmeth the same. He bindeth or maketh any man subject unto the Magician if he so desire it. He giveth good Familiars, and such as can teach all Arts. 
He is to be observed towards the West. He is of the Order of Dominations [Dominions]. He hath under him 200 Legions of Spirits, and part of them are of the Order of Angels, and the other part of Potentates. Now if thou callest this Spirit Paimon alone, thou must make him some offering; and there will attend him two Kings called LABAL and ABALI , and also other Spirits who be of the Order of Potentates in his Host, and 25 Legions. And those Spirits which be subject unto them are not always with them unless the Magician do compel them. His Character is this which must be worn as a Lamen before thee, etc.” 


From the Daemonolatry Goetia by S. Connolly:

"Seek Paimon to understand Alchemy. Seek Paimon for creative pursuits or to design a plan of action. Paimon can also help in emotional understanding."



 From the Luciferian Goetia by Michael Ford:

"Paimon has the ability to teach, aid, and understand, but can be tough at first to properly achieve those things without work. They require offerings, brings other entities along with them, and they must be commanded in order to simply be understood. Once this is achieved, Paimon can help with arts and sciences, can teach the secrets of the world, and can help you with your own inner feelings. Rabbinical sources dictate that Paimon is also Azazel. Paimon also goes by Paymon and Paimonia, and neither Paimon or Azazel can be traced to any other demonic hierarchies."
