“The Ninth Spirit in this Order is Paimon, a Great King, and very obedient to Lucifer. He appeareth in the form of a Man sitting upon a Dromedary with a Crown most glorious upon his head.He hath a great Voice, and roareth at his first coming, and his speech is such that the Magician cannot well understand unless he can compel him,this spirit can teach all Arts and Sciences, and other secret things.
He can discover unto thee what the Earth is, and what holdeth it up in the Waters; and what Mind is, and where it is; or any other thing thou mayest desire to know.”
Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers,about Paimon (1904)
“Paymon is a king of hell who governs 200 legions, half of them from the Angelic Order, and half from the Order of Powers.He appears as a man with a woman’s face riding a dromedary, and crowned with a headdress made with precious stones.If Paymon is evoked by sacrifice or libation, he may appear accompanied by Bebal and Abalam.”
