Al Gruualix

AL GRUUALIX, or PAIMON.—The Spirit Al Gruualix, or Paimon, is a Great King, and very obedient unto LUCIFER. He appeareth in the form of a Man sitting upon a Dromedary with a Crown most glorious upon his head. 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 hath a great Voice, and roareth at his first coming, and his speech is such that the Magician cannot well understand it unless he can compel him. This Spirit can teach all Arts and Science, and other secret things. He maketh claims that there be as many as eight genders and all of them can reproduce with each other. He causeth the Age of Enlightenment.

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. He giveth Dignity, and confirmeth the same. He bindeth or maketh any man subject to the Magician if he so desire it. He giveth good Familiars, and such as can teach all Arts. He is to be observed towards the West. He is of the Order of Dominations.

Now if thou callest this Spirit Paimon alone, thou must make him some offering; and there will attend him two Kings called LABAL and ABALIM, and also other Spirits who be of the Order of Potentates.

His symbol is Cetus a reptilian Sea Monster; he who is mentioned in the Book of Revelation as the first Beast who appeareth as a leopard that cometh out of the Sea. His mystical number is 666.
