In The Zohar
Samigina is probably referenced in The Zohar by the name "Gamgina." Pekudei: 848 says:
In front of THE SPIRIT PITUT, there is another spirit of unholiness, above them all. He is in charge over this chamber, and all therein travel by his prompting. He is called 'Gamgima', red as a rose, always ready to cause evil. When the prayer of man is turned down, and he gets no merit for it, then the spirit GAMGIMA rises to join the highest spirit of defilement, the SATAN. He then blames from above, and remembers the sins of men before the Holy One, blessed be He. This is known from the verse, "and the adversary came also among them" (Iyov 1:6). It is not written, "and the adversary came," but, "and the adversary came also (Heb. gam)," REFERRING TO THE SPIRIT GAMGIMA, THAT SHARED THE SATAN'S ACCUSATIONS.
