'''[[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. The ''[[Lesser Key of Solomon]]'' states that the [[exorcist]] or conjurer must be in possession of a silver ring, that is duly consecrated and worn on the middle finger, as a form of protection against this poisonous astral breath. In ''[[Book of Abramelin|The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage]]'', translated by [[S. L. MacGregor Mathers]], Amaymon (as Amaimon) is one of the eight sub-princes, described as an [[Egyptian religion|Egyptian devil]], who Abramelin restrained from working evil from the third hour until noon and from the ninth hour until evening.
An individual '''[[Lilith]]''', along with Bagdana "king of the lilits", is one of the demons to feature prominently in protective spells in the eighty surviving Jewish [[occult]] incantation bowls from Sassanid Empire Babylon (4th–6th century AD) with influence from Iranian culture. These bowls were buried upside down below the structure of the house or on the land of the house, in order to trap the [[demon]]. Almost every house was found to have such protective bowls against demons.

Incantation bowl Lilith.jpg

An individual Lilith, along with Bagdana "king of the lilits", is one of the demons to feature prominently in protective spells in the eighty surviving Jewish occult incantation bowls from Sassanid Empire Babylon (4th–6th century AD) with influence from Iranian culture. These bowls were buried upside down below the structure of the house or on the land of the house, in order to trap the demon. Almost every house was found to have such protective bowls against demons.
