Amon (demon)

Image of Amon from the Dictionnaire Infernal

In demonology, Amon (also spelled Aamon) is a Duke of Hell. He is the seventh of the 72 Goetic demons and one of Astaroth's assistants for whom he governs forty infernal legions. His appearance is that of a wolf with a serpent's tail, vomiting out of his mouth flames of fire. At the command of a mage, Amon may take the shape of man with a raven's head, having teeth of a canine. He tells of all things past and future. He procures love and reconciles controversies between friends and foes. Some demonologists have associated his name with the Egyptian god Amun or with the god Ba‘al Hammon of Carthage.
