As it turns out, there is actually a long-standing tradition of accusing political rivals to be in league with the Devil. Over the centuries, people frequently claimed they saw the Devil’s hands at work in politics. - Danny Lewis
Considering the issues of today, politics, climate change, covid, racism and governmental collapses, the fave demon of the day is:
King Paimon -
Paimon is considered one of Satan’s most devoutly loyal servants in Luciferian lore. Before his fall, it was believed that he was either an angel from the choir of the Dominions (angels who regulate the duties of other angels) or one of the Cherubim (angels who serve as guard holy places, such as the garden of Eden), or both. There are different interpretations of Paimon in the texts, but here are some of the most common facts about him. According to the lore, he is one of the kings of Jinnestan, a fairy land and the realm of the djinn. The djinn grant wishes to those who summon them, but they demand something in return. That’s similar to Paimon, as he usually expects a sacrifice in the form of a human body — especially children. His origin can be traced Mesopotamia equating him with the Middle Eastern Goddess Isis.
Paimon also commands a legion of more than 200 angels. When he appears to people, however, he boasts an effeminate face, wears a crown, and rides a camel. His arrival is usually preceded by a musical score. Paimon has a great voice and roars as soon as he comes, speaking in this manner for a while, until the conjurer compels him and then he answers clearly the questions he is asked. It is said that he has a hoarse voice, and he’ll only speak plainly if those who summon him require him to do so.
When the conjurer invokes this demon he must look towards the northwest (the west to other authors), for there is where he has his house, and when Paimon appears he must be allowed to ask what he wishes and be answered, in order to obtain the same from him. In some instances, Paimon also appears as an angelic spirit with a flaming sword. The demon possesses all kinds of knowledge in regards to the arts, philosophies, sciences, mind, earth, wind, sea, and secrets about the universe. With these expertise, he helps those who summon him embark on a path to greater things, and binds them to a familiar spirit to do their bidding. He also reveals hidden treasures and possesses the ability to bestow people with great power, status, and authority.
Reasons for summoning Paimon:
- Knowledge of all Arts & Sciences
- He can reveal the nature of Reality and Mind
- Provide the magician with Dignity of Reputation
- Turn any person into the magician’s servant or Dependent
- Provide good familiars (either spiritual or physical)
That said, actually summoning Paimon is a difficult procedure. As documented by The Cut, witch and demonology expert Sarah Lyons gave instructions on how to performer the ritual, per The The Key of Solomon. Lyons also noted how Aster’s film is admirable for the way it gets some of smaller details right.
“One of the things that you’re supposed to do specifically with ‘The Key of Solomon’ is that you have a magical circle drawn around you, and you have a triangle set up just outside of that, and you’re wearing the sigil of the demon you’re trying to summon, and you’ll put that sigil into the triangle as well, and the demon is supposed to appear within that triangle. If you do it really, really right — I have not gotten to this level of badass — supposedly you’re supposed to see a physical form appear in front of you. You should physically see a demon at some point. I cannot comment on that, but that’s allegedly what happens.”
Of course, that’s just one belief in regards to summoning Paimon. The other texts provide different instructions, so if you decide to give it a try because you want power and wealth, bear in mind that this could be the wrong approach. And it also requires years of mastering the Dark Arts, which is not a skill that can be learned over night.
Dr. Alexander Cummins, a historian who also spoke to The Cut, claims that summoning Paimon is complex, given that he’s demonic royalty and won’t appear to just anyone who figures out how to use a spell book. In order to gain access to Paimon, one must go through a demonic bureaucracy, and the practitioner must command all kinds of spirits and hellspawn beforehand.
The Goetia, Weyer, Livre des Esperitz, and the Liber Officiorum Spirituum all describe him as teaching science and answering other questions. The Goetia and Weyer specify that his knowledge includes all arts and "secret Things,” such as knowledge regarding the Earth, its waters, and the winds. The Livre des Esperitz and the Liber Officiorum Spirituum broaden this to truthfully answering all questions asked of him, with the former source also claiming that he can reveal hidden treasures and the latter highlighting that he knows all the affairs of the world.The Goetia, Weyer, and the Livre des Esperitz also claim he has the ability to bestow dignities and lordships The Goetia and Weyer credited him with granting familiars (who are likewise good at teaching). The Liber Officiorum Spirituum uniquely gives him command over fish. Sloane MS 3824 mentions Paimon in "An Experiment to Cause a Thief to Return".In Abramelin, King Paimon's powers include knowledge of past and future events, clearing up doubts, making spirits appear, creating visions, acquiring and dismissing servant spirits, reanimating the dead for several years, flight, remaining underwater indefinitely, and general abilities to "make all kinds of things" (and) "all sorts of people and armor appear" at the behest of the magician.
