'''[[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.
'''[[Archangel Gabriel]]''' is an [[archangel]] with power to announce [[Yahweh|God's]] will to men. He is mentioned in the [[Bible|Hebrew Bible]], the New Testament, and the Quran. The [[Abrahamic religion]]s all recognize Gabriel as an [[angel]]ic spirit. Many [[Christianity|Christian]] traditions — including Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Anglicanism — also revere Gabriel as a [[saint]].


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.
