From the Goetia:

“appeareth like a Strong Man with the tail of a Serpent, sitting upon a pale-coloured [Horse?]. He knoweth the Virtues of Herbs and Precious Sontes, and can transport men suddenly from one country to another.”

Firstly, virtues of herbs and precious stones, so anything to do with crystal healing, crystal magic stones in general. When we’re talking about stones, we usually go straight for the crystals and the gemstones, but if you go into your garden, or walk down the street, there may be a rock or a stone that kind of jumps out at you, and you can work with that rock or stone.

There are various ways to work with such things. You can do a journey into the actual stone and find the Guardian. Stones hold with a lot of energy. They’ve been around for a very long time, and they hold a lot of history, so you can tap into that as well. If you are wanting to work with the Land, stones are brilliant for that.

Then herbs, herbology, herbalism, wortcunning, kitchen witchery, which Connolly actually mentioned.

Connelly said, invoke before travel for a smooth trip and keep the sigil on you, will also bring opportunity for travel. Use kitchen witchery with Bathin rather than ceremony.

On the one hand, we are talking about travel, so if you want to have a safe trip, if you are flying overseas or you are taking a long car drive or something like that from one state to another state or one province to another province, depending on what country you’re in obviously, then you can call Bathin to make sure that the journey is safe and keep the sigil on you during the trip. But also to bring opportunities for travel. If you are somebody who likes to travel, then speak to Bathin and see if he can present any opportunities that will allow that for you.

But, the other side of this, when we’re talking about transporting a person, suddenly from one place to another, there are different ways to look at this. Obviously the first one would be astral projection. It is discussed in one of the grimoires, possibly the Goetia, where the person was going from Mage to Mage and trying to find somebody who actually knew what they were talking about and a lot of them were just using trickery and things like that. But there was one person that this source came across who used flying ointments. It was by way of putting the salve on their body and then they travelled to another place and they gathered information and they brought that information back. So this is often considered to be that transportation suddenly from one place to another. It’s astral projection. We can look Traditional Witchcraft where we’re talking about flying ointments, and it’s usually a salve which is applied to the skin, and it puts you into a trance, and then you’re able to astral project and you move from one place to another instantly. So quite often when we’re talking about that, we’re talking about astral projection.

There is also things like speed running. I’ve never known anybody who does it. I’ve only read about it in books. I’m not sure if it’s an actual thing or whether somebody came up with some fantasy, but I do believe that it is a real thing. Speed running is literally running at such a speed that you are kind of invisible, but you move physically from one point to another. So if anybody wants to look into that and they manage to do speed running, please let me know because I’ll be very interested.

The following is a summary of Jehannum’s interpretation or findings. He starts off by saying that Bathin is the hellhound of the Void, teacher of the Ascended Masters, the maiden of the Knight side, the Warden of Death, the Regent of Bohu, and the Duke of the Goetia. Bohu is a Hebrew word which means emptiness.

Jehannum goes on to say that Bathin rules over deceased sorcerers in Bohu. So that is in the emptiness. I’m not entirely sure where that is supposed to be, but we have all different planes and realms of existence that we can venture into.

He also states, releases darkness into the universe and resurrects the dead. She makes the corpses move and the screaming to silence. There’s a necromantic aspect here which I did not find anywhere else, so I’m not sure where this source is, or where this information came from.

Blots out the emissaries of the Abrahamic divinity and tears worlds and realms asunder, and enhances the witches psychic perception, amplify destructive power and elevate the witch to a state of physical undeath.
