Paamon (EP) by Mons Mythic Synthesizer Music
The Goetic King known as Paimon, is a spirit named in various grimoires, prominently featured in the The Lesser Key of Solomon (specifically in the Ars Goetia). Other early grimoires and demonological texts where he is mentioned include Johann Weyer's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, Jacques Collin de Plancy's Dictionnaire Infernal, the Livre des Esperitz (as "Poymon"), the Clavis Inferni, the Liber Officiorum Spirituum, The Book of Abramelin, and certain French editions of The Grimoire of Pope Honorius (as Bayemon).
The etymology of his name as found in the etymology notes section of the Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage by Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers suggests that it might come from the Hebrew word Paamon or “POMN” (פַּעֲמֹן), meaning a “tinkling sound or small bell.” MacGregor Mathers also explains that the word “Paamon” is employed in certain biblical passages, particularly Exodus 28:33, 28:34, and 39:25 - These Exodus verses describe the creation of the High Priest’s garments, specifically the robe, and the purpose of bells and pomegranates attached to it.
Other spellings of his name include Paymonia, Paimonia, Païmon, Bayemont, and Baymon.
In the Goetia, he is described as a man riding a dromedary, preceded by men playing loud music (particularly trumpets), as well as cymbals.
Sloane MS 3824 describes the camel as crowned, while the rest describe King Paimon himself as crowned. The Goetia itself makes no mention of King Paimon's face, while the rest describe him as having a beautiful face but still refer to him as male.
