The Goetia and Weyer begin entries on King Paimon noting that he is quite obedient to Lucifer.[1][2]

 

King Paimon appears as the ninth spirit in the Goetia,[1] the twenty-second spirit in the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum,[2] and in the Dictionnaire Infernal.[3] In the Liber Officiorum Spirituum, he is first listed as the sixth spirit[5][6] and later as the third king.[11][12]

 

The Goetia, Weyer, de Plancy, Livre des Esperitz, Liber Officiorum Spirituum, and Sloane MS 3824 all rank Paimon as a king.[1][2][3][4][10][5][6][11][12] The Livre des Espiritz, Sloane MS 3824, and the Grimoire of Pope Honorius specify that King Paimon is king of the west.[4][10][8][9] In the Book of Abramelin (where his appearance is given no description), he is instead one of the eight dukes.[7]

 

The Goetia, Weyer, and de Plancy warn that if King Paimon appears alone, a sacrifice must be made to summon Bael and Abalam, two kings who serve under him but do not always accompany him. These three sources state that he rules 200 legions of spirits, some of which are of the order of Angels and the rest Powers.[1][2][3] The Livre des Esperitz, on the other hand, credits him with just 25 legions of spirits.[4] Sloane MS 3824 mentions him as commanding a "bishop" named Sperion, among other spirits.[10]

 

Critical editions of the Lesser Key of Solomon list him as a former Dominion.[1] Weyer notes a confusion over whether he was a former Dominion or Cherub.[2] According to Thomas Rudd, King Paimon is opposed by the Shemhamphorasch angel Haziel.[13]

 

Practicing occultist Carroll "Poke" Runyon suggests that the name ultimately derives from "a Middle Eastern Pagan Goddess", on the grounds that some manuscripts depict King Paimon as a young man riding a camel, and that the name "Paimon" purportedly meant "a tinkling sound" in an unspecified language, in turn a claimed reference to Isis.[14] This is part of an overall claim that the Lesser Key of Solomon was by Solomon and rooted in Mesopotamian mythology.[15]

In Abramelin, King Paimon's powers include[16] knowledge of past and future events, clearing up doubts, making spirits appear, creating visions, acquiring and dismissing servant spirits, reanimating the dead for several years, flight, remaining underwater indefinitely, and general abilities to "make all kinds of things" (and) "all sorts of people and armor appear" at the behest of the magician.[17]
