Amon (also spelled Aamon or Amun) is a demon described in medieval grimoires, particularly the Lesser Key of Solomon (Lemegeton Clavicula Salomonis), compiled around the 17th century. In this text, Amon is ranked as the 7th spirit of the Goetia—a hierarchy of 72 demons supposedly summoned by King Solomon. He appears as a wolf with a serpent’s tail, vomiting flames, but can take a human form with a raven’s head or as a man with a wolf’s teeth. Amon is said to reconcile friends and foes, reveal past and future events, and grant knowledge of sciences and secrets. He commands 40 infernal legions.

These descriptions stem from Renaissance occult traditions blending Jewish, Christian, and pagan elements. Modern interpretations vary, from literal belief in demonology to psychological or symbolic views (e.g., in chaos magic, Amon represents reconciliation and hidden knowledge).

Traditional Summoning Ritual from the Goetia

The Lesser Key of Solomon outlines a structured evocation process requiring preparation, tools, and protections. Below is a summarized, step-by-step adaptation based on the original text (Book 1: Ars Goetia). This is not a direct quote but a faithful reconstruction for clarity. Full texts are available in public domain editions like those edited by S.L. MacGregor Mathers (1904).

Preparation (1-7 Days Before)

1. Purification: Fast for 3 days (bread, water, salt only). Bathe in holy water (blessed with salt and herbs like hyssop). Confess sins and perform a Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram (LBRP) to cleanse your space:
   • Face east, draw a pentagram in the air with a ritual dagger or finger while vibrating “YHVH” (Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh).
   • Repeat for south (“Adonai”), west (“Eheieh”), north (“AGLA”).
   • Invoke archangels: Raphael (east), Michael (south), Gabriel (west), Uriel (north).
   • This creates a protective circle.
2. Gather Tools:
   • A magic circle: Draw a 9-foot diameter circle on the ground with chalk or flour, inscribed with names of power (e.g., “Tetragrammaton,” “Adonai,” “Elohim”). Inside, a triangle of art (equilateral, 3 feet out) for the spirit to appear.
   • Black-handled knife (athame) for tracing.
   • Incense: Frankincense and myrrh.
   • Virgin parchment with Amon’s sigil (seal): A complex glyph resembling a crowned wolf-head with serpentine lines—search public grimoires for exact drawing.
   • Robes: White linen, hood optional.
   • Offerings: Bread, wine, or bloodless sacrifices (e.g., flowers symbolizing reconciliation).
3. Timing: Best during a waxing moon, Tuesday (Mars day for martial spirits), between 3-5 AM. Avoid Fridays or full moons.

The Summoning (Core Ritual)

1. Enter the Circle: At the appointed hour, stand in the circle facing east. Light incense in the triangle. Trace the circle with your athame, saying: “I conjure thee, O Circle of Art, to be a fortress against all spirits, powers, and imaginations.”
2. Preliminary Invocation: Recite the Preliminary Invocation (from the Heptameron or Goetia): “O Thou, the Great and Mighty God, who art called by many names… I humbly invoke and conjure Thee to be favorable unto me… Send unto me Amon, who is under Thy power.”
3. Call the Spirit: Hold Amon’s sigil aloft. Chant the conjuration three times, increasing intensity: “I do invocate and conjure thee, O Spirit Amon; and being with power armed from the Supreme Majesty, I do strongly command thee, by Beralanensis, Baldachiensis, Paumachia, and Apologiae Sedes; by the most Powerful Princes, Genii, Liachidae, and Ministers of the Tartarean Abode; and by the Chief Prince of the Seat of Apologia in the Ninth Legion, I do invoke thee, Amon… Appear thou visibly before this Circle in a fair and comely shape, without deformity or horror… I conjure thee by the seal of thy King Solomon… Come peaceably, visibly, and affably, now and without delay.”
   • If no appearance, use the “curse” (second conjuration): Threaten binding to a brass vessel with torment by divine names.
4. Appearance and Binding: Amon may manifest as smoke, sounds, visions, or (rarely) physical form in the triangle. Command him: “O thou Spirit Amon, I bind thee to appear and obey… Declare thy name, office, and the reason of thy tarrying.” Do not leave the circle until licensed to depart.
5. Communication: Ask questions (e.g., “Reveal hidden truths” or “Reconcile [names]”). Speak clearly; use a scrying tool like a black mirror if needed.
6. Dismissal: When done, say: “O thou Spirit Amon, I thank thee for thy obedience. Depart in peace unto thy abodes, harming none… Go forth, I say, and be thou as thou wert before, until I call thee again.” Erase the circle eastward.

Post-Ritual

• Banish with LBRP again.
• Journal experiences.
• If disturbances occur, repeat banishings or consult a trusted occultist.

Variations and Modern Adaptations

• Crowley’s Version: Aleister Crowley’s The Book of the Goetia (1904) adds Enochian calls for potency. Use the 19th Enochian Key for reconciliation themes.
• Chaos Magic Approach: Treat Amon as a thoughtform. Meditate on the sigil while visualizing wolf imagery; affirm intentions without full ritual.
• Safety Tips: Always prioritize mental health. If it feels overwhelming, stop and seek professional help. Historical accounts (e.g., in Pseudomonarchia Daemonum by Johann Weyer, 1577) warn of deception or backlash if protections fail.
