Amoun is the name of an Egyptian god, also known as Amon, Ammon, Amun and Amen.
"Amen" is commonly used in all Masonic prayers. The Talmudists have many superstitious notions in respect to this word. It is said that whoever pronounces it with fixed attention and devotion, to him the gates of Paradise will be opened; and again, "whosoever dwells upon it, pronouncing it distinctly and slowly, his life shall be prolonged."
Both of these sayings "Amen" and "So Mote it Be" are usually said at the closing of a spell, or ritual, and means "so as I will it, so shall it be done." In other words, it is an affirmation that the object of the speaker's desire will manifest into reality to and through Amon/Amen.
To this day, the name of the Egyptian God, "Amen" is still recited at the end of prayers in both Jewish and Christian Religions, and is being used by many Muslims as well. The Hebrews adopted the word and it passed into Christian use as "Amen". It is a petition for the God, Amen, to fulfill our words.
