In
demonology Aamon is one of
Astaroth's assistants. He knows past and future, giving that knowledge to those who had made a pact with
Satan. According to some authors he has forty legions of
demons under his command, having the title of prince. There is no agreement on how to depict him, being sometimes portrayed as an owl-headed man, and sometimes as a wolf-headed man with snake tail. Although some demonologists have associated his name with the Egyptian god
Ammon, it is more plausible its derivation from the Semitic god
Baal Hammon, also worshipped in some areas of northern Egypt that had been in contact with Semitic tribes.
Other spelling: Amon
