“Saminga” by Trows


Likely Inspiration

Gamigin is the fourth Goetic demon described in the Lesser Key of Solomon (referred to in the Crowley/Mathers edition as Samigina), and (as Gamygyn) forty-sixth in the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, in both works as a marquis who initially takes the form of a small horse before transforming into a hoarse-voiced human. The Lesser Key of Solomon merely leaves his duties at teaching liberal arts and giving accounts of souls that died in sin. The Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, Thomas Rudd‘s variant of the Ars Goetia, and the Dictionnaire Infernal, however, go into more detail, with Gamigin forcing the souls of those who drowned into “airy bodies” to answer questions in either, with Weyer and de Plancy further claiming that Gamigan can do likewise for souls “which dwell in purgatorie (which is called Cartagra, that is, affliction of soules)”. According to Rudd, Gamigin is opposed by the Shemhamphorasch angel Ieuiah
