Paimon Across Mythology And Media

The Book Of Abramelin

Paimon


Unlike other grimoires where Paimon is a king, the Book of Abramelin refers to him as a duke rather than a ruler. This is a notable departure from texts like the Ars Goetia and Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, which describe Paimon as a powerful king commanding legions of spirits. The Book of Abramelin also presents a hierarchical structure of demons, categorizing them under four great princes of evil—Lucifer, Leviathan, Satan, and Belial. Paimon is listed among the servants of these princes, rather than being an independent ruler.
