'''[[Enlightenment]]''', '''''Moksha''''', or '''Gnosis''' are words used to describe various forms of spiritual liberation, self-realization, and self-knowledge. In a general sense, it expresses a blissful state of existence of a human soul. It is most-commonly found in connection with the main Indian religions: [[Hinduism]], [[Buddhism]], and [[Jainism]]; however, it is also the expressed goal of numerous [[occult]] schools passed down from the early tradition of [[Gnosticism]].
'''[[Amaymon]]''' is a prince of [[Hell]], and, according to some [[grimoire]]s, the only one who has power over [[Asmoday]]. He is usually named in grimoires alongside [[Oriens]], [[Egyn]], and [[Paimon]] as kings of the cardinal directions. He variously described as the king of the north, east, or south. According to ''[[Clavis Inferni]]'', he is king of the north.


''Nirvana'' and ''moksha'', in all traditions, represent resting in one's true essence.
A curious characteristic of this spirit in almost all copies of the ''[[Ars Goetia]]'' in English, that during the evocation of Asmoday to visible appearance, the [[exorcist]] must stand upright with his cap or headdress removed in a show of respect, because if he does not do so, then Amaymon will deceive him and doom all of his work.
