Talk:Amon (demon)

Amon in the Christian Bible
Has Amon ever been mentioned in any translation/version of the Christian Bible?
 * hmm hard to say.. it is claimed that "amen" "amun" "imen" "omon" "amon" (whatever) means "so be it", but in fact it means "the hidden one".UnionWorker (talk) 13:18, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * There's a difference between "Amen" and "Amon." Amen does indeed mean "So be it," starting in Hebrew, imported to Greek and then Latin. Amon comes from the Greek form of the Egyptian deity Yamanu. Connections between the two are spurious and rejected by scholars, just like attempts to connect those words with Aum. Ian.thomson (talk) 01:27, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Amon isn't quite directly mentioned. Thebes is mentioned in Nahemiah 3:8 in some translations as "No Amon," but this is a name for the city, probably in honor of Amon. Ammon (a nation, not a spiritual being) is mentioned, but that isn't the same. The Ammonites worshipped Moloch, not Amon. The only argument for including Amon in the Christian demonology section is that until a couple hundred years ago the only people writing about this figure all pretty much adhered to some sort of a Christian worldview.

Zeus, Jupiter, Ba'al, Caesarion connection is documented on those Wikipedia pages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by UnionWorker (talk • contribs) 14:41, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, there's no need to undo; I didn't remove any of your information (other than the Caesarion thing, which needs to be explained in this article), I just cleaned up the formatting and added a needed tag. r  ʨ  ana ɢ  talk/contribs 14:48, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, when a term is linked in the main text (as Zeus and Jupiter are in my edit), it's not necessary to include it in the See Also section, as dictated by Wikipedia's Manual of Style. If you want to include Caesarion, please just add it (rather than reverting my edit, which also changed many formatting issues)&mdash;but also include a source.  Even if the information is sourced in other articles, it needs to be sourced here as well. r  ʨ  ana ɢ  talk/contribs 14:51, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

New additions
I am moving the new additions here because a) the editor removed all the previous information from the article without reason, which is inappropriate; and b) the new content still needs to be formatted properly and have inline citations (footnotes) added. To the user who added this content, I would recommend that you look at the brief Wikipedia tutorial to learn how to do this.

Here is the content:"An Egyptian god who was worshipped at Thebes as 'Amen the Sun'. In Nahemiah 3:8, Amon is mentioned as being the god 'No'. According to The Goetia, Amon was the seventh of the seventy two spirits that Solomon is reputed to have locked away inside of a brass vessel and cast into a deep lake (or banished to Lower Egypt). He was later released from the brazen vessel when it was found and opened by the Babylonians. In command of forty legions of Infernal Spirits, Amon is a strong and powerful Marquis who appears like a wolf with a serpent's head. When so ordered by the magician, he assumes a human shape, but with the teeth of a dog. He discerns past and future, procures love, and reconciles friends and foes.  Amon is the demon by day of the first decanate of Gemini. According to the Aurum Solis, he is also the demon of the first quinance of Libra. The geomantic number of Amon is calculated by the Cabalists as either 747 or 97. According to the Satanic Bible, Amon is the Egyptian ram headed god of life and reproduction (which is contrary to any other description of Amon to be found), and is listed amongst the Infernal Names." r ʨ anaɢ talk/contribs 00:07, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
