This is part of an overall claim that the Lesser Key of Solomon was by Solomon and rooted in Mesopotamian mythology. | 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]].
