'''[[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.
'''[[Horus]]''' is one of the most significant ancient [[Egyptian religion|Egyptian deities]] who served many functions, most notably as god of kingship and the sky. He was worshipped from at least the late prehistoric Egypt until the Ptolemaic Kingdom and Roman Egypt. Different forms of Horus are recorded in history, and these are treated as distinct gods by Egyptologists.


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.
