Goetia - S. L. MacGregor Mathers (1904)
The Fifty-third Spirit is Camio, or Caim. He is a Great President,
and appeareth in the Form of the Bird called a Thrush at first,
but afterwards he putteth on the Shape of a Man carrying in his
Hand a Sharp Sword. He seemeth to answer in Burning Ashes, or in
Coals of Fire. He is a Good Disputer. His Office is to give unto
Men the Understanding of all Birds, Lowing of Bullocks, Barking of
Dogs, and other Creatures; and also of the Voice of the Waters. He
giveth True Answers of Things to Come. He was of the Order of
Angels, but now ruleth over 30 Legions of Spirits Infernal. His
Seal is this, which wear thou, etc.
Pseudomonarchia daemonum - Johann Wier (1583)
Caim is a great president, taking the forme of a thrush, but when
he putteth on man's shape, he answereth in burning ashes, carrieng
in his hand a most sharpe swoord, he maketh the best disputers, he
giveth men the understanding of all birds, of the lowing of
bullocks, and barking of dogs, and also of the sound and noise of
waters, he answereth best of things to come, he was of the order
of angels, and ruleth thirtie legions of divels.
Dictionnaire Infernal - Collin de Plancy (1863)
Once with the order of angels, and currently, high president of
hell, Caym commands 30 legions. He appears in the form of a
blackbird, a main coifed with a headdress & adorned with a
peacock tail, or human carrying a tapering sword, & responds
from the midst of a burning brazier. It is said that Caym is the
most wise occupant of hell, and that he could outwit even the most
seasoned logician. It was with him that Luther had his famous
dispute from which he spared us the details. Caym teaches
communication with animals and waves and knows of the future.
