Caraham

Caraham: One of several demons in the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage whose name is a matter of some dispute. In the fifteenth-century French manuscript sourced by Mathers, the name of this demon is given as Came. In the 1720 version kept at the Dresden library, the name is Carah, while the version at the Wolfenbiittel library in Germany gives the name as Larach.

Since the original fourteenth-century source of the Abramelin material has been lost to time, there is no way to know which spelling is correct. All versions agree, however, that this demon answers to Paimon, one of four infernal princes of the cardinal directions.
