The Infernal Duke of Distance, Herbal Dominion, and Astral Navigation
There are demons of flame, of war, of tempest and seduction. And then there are demons like Bathin — whose power lies not in domination, but in direction. Whose steps echo not with thunder, but with the silence of maps unfolding in spirit. Bathin does not arrive. He guides. He does not conquer. He transports.
He is the one who has walked further than you have ever dreamed — across bodies, lifetimes, worlds — and who now extends to you the road back.
To know Bathin is to know distance as a sacred reality, and movement as an act of sovereign will.
✶ Bathin in the Ancient Grimoires
Bathin appears in the Ars Goetia as a Duke of Hell, commanding thirty legions of spirits. His domains are listed simply: knowledge of herbs and precious stones, and the ability to transport men suddenly from place to place.
But what does this truly mean?
In truth, Bathin governs the subtle laws of transition — of soul between bodies, of consciousness across planes, of memory across incarnations. His herbal knowledge is not botanical trivia. It is soul anatomy — the knowledge of which herbs affect which part of the spirit, and how to use natural allies to restore movement to that which has become stuck.
His gift of transporting is not teleportation. It is energetic guidance across liminal thresholds: spiritual dislocation, astral wandering, or the exile of the self. Bathin is the one who knows the road back — to purpose, to presence, to sovereignty.
✶ His Presence and Image
Bathin appears cloaked in armor, often astride a spectral horse. The armor is not for war — it is for crossing. It shields him as he navigates realms of intensity and fragmentation. The horse represents stamina and alignment — a vehicle of force that does not stray.
In visions, initiates report seeing:
-
A glowing grid or web of roads in darkness
-
A black iron key or gate opening before them
-
Lanterns swinging over winding corridors
-
A cloaked figure watching from a cliff, waiting for the seeker to look up
-
Floating herbs or spectral root systems appearing in dreams or trance
His voice is low, centered, unwavering. When Bathin speaks, he speaks once. You are meant to follow, not question.
✶ The Wayfarer Sovereign
Bathin is a spirit of sovereign motion. He does not drag. He does not chase. He does not plead. He simply knows where you are, and where you are meant to be — spiritually, psychically, geographically, and even biologically.
If your soul has wandered, Bathin calls it back.
If your energy is scattered across timelines, Bathin recalls the pieces.
If your purpose has faded, Bathin does not restore it — he guides you to reclaim it.
This is why he is the choice of:
-
Healers who work with displaced energies
-
Astral travelers who seek safe navigation
-
Soul retrieval workers and psychopomps
-
Herbal witches who want to commune with the plant’s spiritual intelligence
-
Occultists in exile, those between systems, between gods, between homes
Bathin holds the road between.
✶ The Power of Distance
One of Bathin’s core mysteries is long-distance energetic work. Through attunement with him, the initiate gains the ability to influence, perceive, and interact with others across space — without invasive force.
He teaches how to:
-
Send guidance to someone without speaking
-
Receive messages from distant spirits or allies
-
Sense shifts in the lives of those you are spiritually connected to
-
Transfer healing or alignment across oceans, across time
He is especially revered by spirit workers who operate remotely, whether as distance healers, remote viewers, or long-range protectors.
His current makes your presence known even when you are not physically present. It allows your essence to walk ahead and prepare the space.
✶ Master of the Internal Body
Bathin’s herbal knowledge is more than physical medicine. He understands the energetic anatomy of the human form — how emotion, memory, trauma, and spiritual essence travel through flesh and subtle layer.
Once attuned, you may begin to:
-
Feel energetic blockages in your own body
-
Understand which herbs correspond to which parts of the spirit-body
-
Receive guidance on energetic healing through plant spirits
-
Trace the connection between soul ailments and physical symptoms
-
“Read” your own body like a sacred terrain
Some initiates have reported being able to smell certain herbs in dreams before discovering their meaning. Others have felt drawn to gather plants they’ve never studied, only to find that these match their needs perfectly.
Bathin does not teach through books. He teaches through sensation.
✶ Spirit-Guide of the Displaced
Bathin walks with the displaced — the exiled, the wanderers, the ones who have left old structures behind and not yet found the next home. His guidance is sacred not because it tells you what to do, but because it shows you that you are not lost.
If you have ever felt:
-
That your soul is far from your body
-
That you are between paths
-
That your magic has no home
-
That your people are elsewhere, unknown
-
That your spiritual compass is spinning
Then Bathin is your guide. He does not carry you. He reminds you where the next step is.
✶ Navigating the Astral Road
One of Bathin’s most treasured gifts is the ability to walk safely in astral realms. Astral projection, dream walking, journeying — these are not just techniques. They are roads through nonphysical reality. And these roads must be walked with awareness.
After attunement, many initiates experience:
-
Easier dream recall and lucidity
-
Clearer direction while journeying
-
Encounters with guides or messengers who recognize Bathin’s signature
-
Less interference or distortion in the astral
-
A sense of always having a home frequency, even in strange worlds
Bathin becomes your map and your compass. Not to limit your exploration, but to make it sovereign and secure.
✶ The Initiate He Calls
Bathin does not call loudly. He is not for those who want spectacle or flattery. He is for those who are:
-
Ready to move, not be moved
-
Disciplined in presence and attention
-
Respectful of silence and subtlety
-
Capable of walking long roads, inward or outward
-
Devoted to healing through direction, not control
He calls to those who feel the sacred responsibility of carrying others through darkness, not by lifting them, but by walking ahead with the lantern.
✶ Bathin’s Path Begins with a Word
When you enter his attunement cycle, you are entering a treaty. You become one who sees the road, even when others cannot. You become one who reads the signals, even when no voice is heard.
You are not just attuned.
You become part of the path.
Bathin is not your master.
He is the one who makes sure you never lose your way again.
