Demonology - King Paimon

King Paimon 

King Paimon knows all things of the arcane and esoterica, sciences, philosophies, and the arts, and can teach these things to the practitioner. He knows all mysteries of the Earth, wind and water, what the mind is, etc, and can reveal answers to such mysteries as the nature of the Earth, the location of the Abyss, and the origin of the wind, etc, to the magician if desired. King Paimons elements are earth and water, from that description it can be taken that King Paimon is a spirit who is heavily involved with the material plane and can affect the material reality around us. And water, this element is associated with our emotions and represents our subconscious, it can be taken that King Paimon can work with one during shadow work, alchemy within the self, and transformation. King Paimon is capable of bestowing dignities and lordships to one and can teach one to become a great leader and a great speaker. He can help one discover any unknown or esoteric knowledge or uncover any secrets, hidden treasures, and great amounts of cash, I find this to mean, through efforts of mastery one may learn skills that may gain these things. He can connect the practitioner to the right person or guide/familiar for success and growth or bestow a familiar unto the practitioner to protect the practitioner from enemies and other witches/practitioners, and teaches one how to work with familiars to use them to manipulate the mindstate of people who may be around the magician, he can teach one to use the eyes of one’s familiar to see into areas they are traveling, having the practitioner connect to the familiar on a deeper level and strengthen telepathic and psychic abilities. He’s also capable of binding or making any man subject to the magician if desired, King Paimon has an influential personality, I take that this is through the art of charisma, confidence, and persuasion. On the spiritual level, he is said to be able to help the practitioner bind others and manipulate others’ thoughts and emotions, he can maliciously inflict severe psychological, physical and spiritual torment upon the targets, including reconstruction of traumatic events, as well as horrifying visions and nightmares.

His Majesty can help one be more creative and original within their occult practices, spellwork, rituals and help one create their personal path within magick. He is said to teach mastery of energetic manipulation as he loves messing with electric currents, therefore he is great to guide and help with energy alchemy alongside manifesting/magick. He said to have the ability to connect with your ancestry and to help you connect with your ancestry on a very deep level. He is also said to be tied to travelers and communication, which is perhaps why he prefers dromedary camels. That being said, he’s the one to go to when one plans to travel long distances. King Paimon is all about action rather than talk, he would put the practitioner in uncomfortable situations to help the practitioner overcome and work through fears as they hold one back, this could be dangerous for the magician, it could imprint anxieties or mentally devastating experiences. 

He is known for teaching beginner magicians and helping musicians and artists.

He is great for the creative and dreamers types, helping solidify a practice of discipline, dedication, and honor through exploration and self discovery. He’s great for working with the subconscious and emotions, and helping one build the material reality they desire, or become the best version of themselves. He’s excellent for any occultist or magician of any kind. A multitude.

Enn: “Linan Tasa Jedan Paimon”

Appearance: To many he appears as man with an beautiful androgynous or effeminate face riding upon a dromedary camel with a crown most glorious upon his head. To me he appears as a young middle eastern male, pitch black eyes, with beautiful hair, in clothes of royalty, wearing an crown and with an intimidating/fiery presence but a feminine demeanor/attitude, yin yang figure. Others have said for him to appear with pale skin and blue eyes, some say he’s appeared to them with fire in his eyes. Proceeded with him, a Host of Spirits/demons in the form of men of a demonic orchestra playing well sounded trumpets, bells, cymbals, and any other musical instruments imaginable (which are said to be heard when conjuring him). Two spirits accompany him; Kings of the Djinn(?), King Labal and King Abali (they must be thanked and given offerings in addition to king Paimon when he is conjured alone). 

King Paimon may also be attended by spirits of the Order of Potentates in his Host, and 25 Legions (spirits are not always with him unless the magician compels or asks for them). King Paimon is said to have a very loud voice, speaking at an ear-aching volume and has to be commanded or asked by the conjurer to lower his voice. His speech is also said to be such that the magician cannot understand, the summoner may have to ask or command him to speak their language, King Paimon would only be understood by those whom worked for understanding. He may show himself to each practitioner differently, but these are the common ways he appears before one. I believe, look at this all, never at face value, metaphors, everywhere, look for them, veils, everywhere. 

Personality: He is said to be very stern/strict about  being addressed as “King” Paimon” or “Your Majesty”/“His Majesty”, as he’s earned his title and crown. He does not take disrespect and will humble one. He’s said to be charismatic and likes to scare or spook magicians when they first invoke/evoke him as a practical joke. In my experience, King Paimon is very giving, but only to those who show commitment and dedication unto him. If you tell him you are going to do something and do it, he will reward you, if you tell him you are going to do something and don’t, he will take from you.. from my experience, with being a person go not keep my word multiple times, the consequences were that of lessons, how it teaches synchronization with the world around you and with flow. Ave King Paimon for he is gracious when grace is earned, and merciful when lessons are taught. 

Energy/mood/presence: King Paimon is full of energy. He causes poltergeist; maybe with his unnaturally loud voice, by moving around or knocking over inanimate objects, messing with electrical currents, having the practitioner hear loud bells or music (so they say), or moving around in general causing physical disturbances. Loud noises and bright lights tend to make him more active. While he may appear to be charismatic, friendly, and colorful in spirit, his energy could create a heavy intense atmosphere making the practitioner feel suffocated, frightened, spiritually/emotionally overwhelmed, and tense. 

In my experience: King Paimon is indeed a poltergeist and has knocked things down and messed with energetic currents, very vague things that were not scary but a bit unsettling, or perhaps, coincidences that occurred one too many times. As far as personality, King Paimon’s energy is determined, charismatic, and very bright/warm. It’s very loud and beautiful, you can tell that this spirit is one of intelligence.

Conjuring: If King Paimon is cited alone, some offering or sacrifice must be done, and he will accept it; then the two spirits King Labal and King Abali (these two spirits must be given offerings and thanks as well) will accompany him as well as other spirits, the Order of Potentates in his Host, and 25 Legions, but these other spirits do not always appear unless the conjurer call upon them/ask for them. When His Majesty appears before the conjurer he must be allowed to ask what he wishes and be answered in full honesty as he knows when one is being untruthful. The practitioner must allow him to ask questions in order to obtain the same from him.

Since King Paimon rules over so many demonic spirits it is said as warning, he can cause one to be haunted, which could be seen as a danger or risk to working with him, perhaps psychologically.
