A Diamond is a solid form of the element carbon with its atoms arranged in a crystal structure called diamond cubic. Diamonds have been treasured as gemstones since their use as religious icons in ancient India. Deceiving others with synthetic diamonds is specifically mentioned as a transgression against non-stealing in Jainism. According to Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, diamonds fall under the rulership of the planet Mars, and also very strongly under the star Agol. Because of its connection to Mars, and thus the element of iron, the presence of diamonds will negate the properties of lodestone and the two minerals should not be placed near each other during magical workings.

-'''[[Mammon]]''' in the New Testament of the [[Bible]] is commonly thought to mean money, material wealth, or any entity that promises wealth, and is associated with the greedy pursuit of gain. The Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke both quote [[Jesus Christ]] using the word in a phrase often rendered in English as "You cannot serve both [[Yahweh|God]] and mammon."

-In the Middle Ages, it was often personified and sometimes included in the [[hierarchy of Hell]]. Mammon in Hebrew (ממון) means "money". The word was adopted to modern Hebrew to mean wealth. Gregory of Nyssa asserted that Mammon was another name for [[Beelzebub]]. In the 4th century Cyprian and Jerome relate Mammon to greed and greed as an evil master that enslaves, and John Chrysostom even personifies Mammon as greed. Descriptions of Mammon closely resemble those of [[Lucifuge Rofocale]] as a demon who delivers wealth in ''[[The Grand Grimoire]]''.
