Amy -
Once an angel of
the order of angels and of the order of powers, Amy is not
"a great president" in the lower realms. He "gives
perfect knowledge of astrology and the liberal arts."
He once confided to King Solomon that he hopes to return
to the 7th throne "in 1200 years," which says the
demonologist Wierus, "is incredible." Amy's
seal is figured in The Book of Black Magic and of Pacts, p.
184 (a)
Amy: Grand President of Hades, and one
of the princes of the infernal monarchy, He appears there
enveloped with flame, but on earth, in human form. He teaches
the secrets of astrology and of the liberal arts, and gives faithful
servants. He reveals to those who possess his favour, the
hiding-place of treasures guarded by demons. 36 of the
infernal legions are under his command. The fallen angels
acknowledge his orders, and he hopes that at the end of 200,000
years, he shall return to heaven to occupy the seventh throne.
