Aamon Explained

Aamon (also known as Amon and Nahum), in demonology, is a Grand Marquis of Hell who governs 40 infernal legions, and the 7th spirit of the Goetia. He is the demon of life and reproduction.[1]

Description

The names Aamon and Amon come from the Libyan god Amun of Siwa Oasis[2] or from the Punic god Baal Hammon of Carthage. Nahum means "who induces to eagerness."

He was written about by Johann Weyer in 1583 in the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum.

And much later by S. L. MacGregor Mathers in The Lesser Key of Solomon.

Harley MS 6483 of The Lesser Key of Solomon states that Amon can also enable the magician to summon and interrogate the spirits of those who drowned at sea.[3]
