'''[[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.
'''[[Quimbanda]]''' is an [[African diaspora religion|Afro-Brazilian religion]] practiced primarily in the urban city centers of Brazil. The religion borrowed many aspects of other traditions, especially [[Umbanda]] and [[Candomblé]]. Quimbanda's practices are often focused on worldly success regarding money and sex. The religion shares much of the philosophy of [[LaVeyan Satanism]], although it is more focused on the invocation of spirits.
