He giveth good Familiars, and such as can teach all Arts. He bindeth or maketh any man subject unto the Magician if he so desire it. He giveth Dignity, and confirmeth the same. He can discover unto thee what the Earth is, and what holdeth it up in the Waters and what Mind is, and where it is or any other thing thou mayest desire to know. This Spirit can teach all Arts and Sciences, and other secret things. He hath a great Voice, and roareth at his first coming, and his speech is such that the Magician cannot well understand unless he can compel him. There goeth before him also an Host of Spirits, like Men with Trumpets and well sounding Cymbals, and all other sorts of Musical Instruments. He appeareth in the form of a Man sitting upon a Dromedary with a Crown most glorious upon his head. The Ninth Spirit in this Order is Paimon, a Great King, and very obedient unto LUCIFER. Paimon is the ninth spirit described in Goetia or The Lesser Key of Solomon:

Direction: West (The house of Paimon is Northwest).Alternate Dates: April 30th – May 4th (Runyon).Dates: June 11th – June 21st (Connolly)(Tikaboo)(Day Time).Runyon’s connection is based on Paimon’s appearance (feminine features and riding a camel) and because “Paimon” meant a “tinkling sound” in an unspecified language, a reference to this deity. Practising occultist Carroll “Poke” Runyon has suggested that the origin of King Paimon can be traced to Mesopotamia, equating this demon with Isis, a Middle Eastern goddess. Paimon is very obedient unto Lucifer and he can grant many wishes to a magician that summons him. Paimon is a King of Hell presiding over 200 legions of demons.
