Bathin Appears As A UFO
When Aaron C. Donahue evoked the Goetian Spirit Bathin and then used remote viewing to draw his picture, imagine
his surprise when the demon appeared as an object.
The drawing clearly shows the elongated and intricate design of what appears to be a space craft, or UFO to use contemporary vernacular.
Which leads to the strange thought that perhaps the ship is a living entity. Or else the demon is still
hidden inside the ship and choosing not to be exposed by the viewer.
Bathin's appearance strangely makes sense when you study the description of him, passed down by the old magickians
who had glimpses without the advantages of technical remote viewing.
S. L. MacGregor Mathers described the spirit as "a strong man with a serpent's tail and sitting upon a pale colored
horse." Indeed, such a ship passing through the sky might give the appearance of a rider on a pale horse. A propulsion system
behind the moving ship might release a vapor trail that would look like the long tail of a serpent.
In Pseudomonarchia daemonum, Johann Wier also noted that Bathin has the ability to transfer men "suddenly from
country to country." A fast moving space ship like the one pictured in the Donahue drawing could certainly do this. A demon
on a horse could/might not.
Wier states that Bathin also goes by the names Bathym, Mathim and Marthim. He is a duke that controls 30 legions
of demons
He is the 18th spirit listed in the Goetia.
