From the Goetia:

“He appeareth like a Wolf with a Serpent’s tail, vomiting out of his mouth flames of fire; but at the command of the Magician he putteth on the shape of a Man with Dog’s teeth beset in a head like a Raven; or else like a Man with a Raven’s head (simply).”

“He telleth all things Past and to Come. He procureth feuds and reconcileth controversies between friends.”

S.Connolly says that some see Amon as a fire Daemon that is to be worshipped at the Summer Solstice, and that he can help bring emotions to a head so that they can be released as usable energy (transforming or transmuting emotions into energy to be used within magical rites and spellwork). Amon can also help with finding friends.

Rufus Opus says: “Amon is a watery spirit with a necromantic cast. He tells of things past and to come, procures love, reconciles controversies and brings spirits of those who died within the sea to appear in bodies made of air, in which they will answer whatever questions you may have of them. If I were trying to find that fictional diamond from the movie Titanic, I’d use Amon to conjure Jack to reveal where it may have been.”

J.Thorp calls him the “Demon of Domination”.

It is said that Amon originated as the Egyptian god Amen/Amem, the hidden god called “Invisible”, the god of wind, self-created king of the gods, and god of mystery, known as the “Lord of Silence”. He was later incorporated into Graeco-Roman Paganism as Amon. Egyptian Paganism depicted him as a blue-skinned male…As Amon-Kematef, Amen was a snake-formed creator god – I can’t help noticing the similarity with the Hindu god Vishnu and the multi-headed serpent he rests on, Shesha.
