Amaymon is a prince of Hell, and, according to some grimoires, 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 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 devil, who Abramelin restrained from working evil from the third hour until noon and from the ninth hour until evening.
