'''[[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.
'''[[Paganism]]''' is a term first used in the fourth century by early [[Christianity|Christians]] for people in the Roman Empire who practiced polytheism or ethnic religions other than [[Judaism]]. The overarching contemporary pagan revival movement which focuses on nature-revering/living, pre-Christian religions and/or other nature-based spiritual paths, and frequently incorporating contemporary liberal values. This definition may include groups such as [[Wicca]], Neo-Druidism, Heathenry, and Slavic Native Faith.


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.
