Abramelin the Mage: Paymon
Paimon: Is also frequently written "Paymon", and sometimes "Paimonia". Probably
from Hebrew, POMN, = a tinkling sound or small bell. This is again derived from the
Hebrew root POM, = to agitate, impel, or strike forward. The word POMN is employed in
Exodus 28, 34; 28, 33; and 39, 25. Paimon is also called by the Rabbins by the title of
OZAZL, Azazel, which is a name used in Leviticus with reference to the Scape-Goat. Its
derivation is from OZ, = a Goat; and AZL, = to go away. It has frequently been warmly
discussed whether the word in question means simply the Scape-Goat, or whether it signifies
a Demon to whom that animal was dedicated. But in Rabbinic Demonology it is always used
to mean one of the Chief Demons.
