 King Paimon: Sovereign of the Infernal Mind and Modern Magician’s Ally

Who is King Paimon?

King Paimon is one of the most prominent spirits named in the Goetia, described as a ruling King of the West under the dominion of Lucifer. Known for his intellect, power over spirits, and command of deep arcane wisdom, Paimon is revered by those who seek mastery of the mind, speech, and spirit. In historical grimoires such as The Lesser Key of Solomon, he appears riding a camel, crowned, and surrounded by a host of spirits playing music.

His roots likely trace back to pre-Islamic desert deities or djinn spirits, evolving into a sovereign force within ceremonial magic. In the modern Left-Hand Path, Theistic Satanism, and other spiritual frameworks, he is not merely a demon to command, but a sovereign entity worthy of reverence and alliance.
