Aamon

Within the grimoire corpus Aamon is not given a biographical origin narrative; he appears as an office-holder within a catalogued infernal hierarchy. Later commentators and modern summaries associate the goetic name with older theonyms — notably the Egyptian/Libyan Amun (Amoun) of Siwa and the Punic Baal Hammon — but the sources present those links as interpretive/etymological associations rather than as a direct, evidenced origin story.

Grimoire descriptions vary. In beast form Aamon is described as appearing like a wolf with a serpent's (or snake's) tail and as vomiting flames. In human guise the texts report variants: a man with doglike teeth and a large head variously likened to an owl, raven, or night-hawk; some summaries state simply 'a man with a raven's head' as an alternate reading. Manuscript traditions differ in emphasis across these elements.

The goetic texts attribute to Aamon knowledge of the past and the future and powers over human relationships — described in variant phrasings as reconciling friends and foes, procuring favor or love, or alternatively procuring feuds. He is consistently described as commanding forty legions of spirits. A manuscript variant (Harley MS 6483) reported in summaries adds that he can enable the magician to summon and interrogate the spirits of those drowned at sea; this appears as a specific manuscript reading rather than a universally attested function. The texts frame interactions as ritual: the Lesser Key indicates that at the magician's command Aamon may assume human form.
