Pahti Coatl (Healer of Souls)Source Divine Mysteries pg. 302Pahti Coatl (PAH-tee coh-AHtl) is a god dedicated to the removal of evil from
Golarion, either in the form of salvation or destruction. Unlike her younger siblings, Pahti Coatl has a different approach with defending good and innocent people by actively seeking out and ridding evil from the world. Pahti Coatl teaches that it is easy to fall in to a path of blind destruction and that one must be assured that one’s campaign is not without reasonable cause. She encourages learning about others to confirm their wrongdoings and make sure that an evil person acts so willingly and not due to circumstance. Pahti Coatl knows that a parent unable to feed their child may turn to evil acts like theft and that such straying from the path in these circumstances must be met not with vengeance, but with forgiveness and care. In these cases, she takes on the aspect of the Healer of Souls, hoping to return a straying individual to the path of righteousness.
If Pahti Coatl comes to understand that an evil person has no chance of returning to righteousness or was never on the path to begin with, she takes on the aspect of the Cleansing Flame and does her best to fully destroy the evil and all that it has corrupted. Pahti Coatl typically takes on the form of a
quetz coatl with two pairs of elegant wings, but transforms into a xiuh coatl when actively destroying evil. Her servitors include detectives, rehabilitators, and warriors. Pahti Coatl’s symbol is a coatl feather wreathed in flame.
