Did Jesus Know Haagenti?
By James Donahue
There is a story in the Gospel of John about a wedding that Jesus attended. When the host of the celebration unexpectedly ran out of wine, Jesus performed his celebrated "miracle" in which he turned water into more wine.
It is said that a demon known as Haagenti's has a specialty of turning water into wine, and, and if anybody wishes, he can turn wine back into water. He also can turn any metal into gold and make men wise by instructing them in every subject. At least this is the story as told in various ancient books about demonology.
These are relatively amazing feats for a spirit that presents itself as a red bull with wings. At least this is how the old magicians saw him.
The old master, Johann Wier, wrote that Haagenti comes up "appearing like a great bull, having the wings of a griphen (sic)." The spirit can change into a human form if it chooses, although the body remains red in color, the old ones say.
In demonology, Haagenti is rated as a great president of Hell. As the forty-eighth Spirit of the Goetia, he rules over 33 legions of demons.
If the Bible stories about the various magical feats of Jesus are true, it is very possible that he knew how to raise demons and get them to do his will. That trick of turning water into wine at the wedding suggests that Haagenti may have also been a guest at the party that day.
