Goetia - S. L. MacGregor Mathers (1904)
The Eighth Spirit is Barbatos. He is a Great Duke, and appeareth
when the Sun is in Sagittary, with four noble Kings and their
companies of great troops. He giveth understanding of the singing
of Birds, and of the Voices of other creatures, such as the
barking of Dogs. He breaketh the Hidden Treasures open that have
been laid by the Enchantments of Magicians. He is of the Order of
Virtues, of which some part he retaineth still; and he knoweth all
things Past, and to come, and conciliateth Friends and those that
be in Power. He ruleth over 30 Legions of Spirits. His Seal of
Obedience is this, the which wear before thee as aforesaid.
Pseudomonarchia daemonum - Johann Wier (1583)
Barbatos, a great countie or earle, and also a duke, he appeareth
in Signo sagittarii sylvestris, with foure kings, which bring
companies and great troopes. He understandeth the singing of
birds, the barking of dogs, the lowings of bullocks, and the voice
of all living creatures. He detecteth treasures hidden by
magicians and inchanters, and is of the order of vertues, which in
part beare rule: he knoweth all things past, and to come, and
reconcileth freends and powers; and governeth thirtie legions of
divels by his authoritie.
Dictionnaire Infernal - Collin de Plancy (1863)
Barbatos appears as a horned archer or hunter in the woods with
four kings sounding horns before him. He is similar to Robin of the
Woods or Jack in the Green. Once of the order of the virtues of
heaven, he now commands 30 legions. Barbatos teaches how to decipher
what animals speak of, knows of buried treasures, can reconcile
disagreements between friends, and knows of past and future events. |
