What does it mean to sell your soul. Selling your soul to the devil - fiction or truth? Sell ​​your soul to the Devil at home

About rituals that will help you sell your soul to the Devil for a lot of money and the possibility of fulfilling your desires. An expression like Selling your soul to the Devil for a lot of money, came to us from antiquity, namely from mythologies that told about how lovers, because of unrequited love, gave their souls, just to be close to their beloved during their lifetime. AT modern society interpretation of this expression is quite different. A person today would hardly give his soul in order to love or achieve justice. He would rather do everything to take revenge on the offender, or to bewitch his lover.

But a person can sell his soul to the Devil not only for money

I did not pay attention to this phrase for nothing. Today, this is not just an empty phrase, but a real ritual for selling one's soul to the Devil for wealth. There are cases today when a person sells his soul to the devil for money. It may seem like nonsense or a fairy tale to some, but it is true. Indeed, in exchange for the soul, the Devil can fulfill any whim of a person.

Why is the soul of such interest to the Devil?

Because the soul is immortal. Having satisfied the earthly desire of a person, which disappears with the body of a person after his death, the soul remains forever in the hands of Satan. Of course, the future is not drawn. But a person has little faith in life after death, so he easily agrees to such a deal. I must tell you that such a transaction is not safe. The danger lies in the very real the ritual of selling the soul to Lucifer for money.

Soul has many definitions. Each of them reflects one or another side of the essence. The soul is defined as the internal state of a person, as what remains of a person after death, it is still of great interest for black magic.

The ritual of selling the soul to the Devil has become very popular.

Black magic in general arose in order to meet the needs of each individual person. If in ancient times a person was interested in the weather, harvest, own safety, today the needs of a person are far from the ancient ones, many want to really sell your soul to the devil. We do everything in order to acquire material wealth. People stopped helping each other - taking care, we stopped communicating closely with our neighbors, so it is sometimes difficult for us to achieve anything. You always want to consult with someone, whether to ask for help. And it's always hard to go it alone. But she always acted in the interests of some and sometimes to the detriment of others, she never ceased to interest a person. Today, when it is so difficult for a person, she is in demand more than ever. I would like to touch a little on the most dangerous ritual in magic, associated with the sale of the soul to Lucifer.

You've probably heard the expression "selling your soul to the Devil" more than once.

Have you ever wondered what is the meaning of this phrase, and how it can be done. And this phrase has the most direct meaning. Indeed, a person can sell the most precious thing he has, this is his soul.

  • It is probably scary to realize that you have to sell your soul to the Devil.
  • But what the Devil can provide to a person turns a blind eye to all fears.
  • Everyone wants a quick and real fulfillment of desires.
  • Sometimes a person is so overcome with the idea of ​​selling his soul that he decides to perform the ritual on his own at home, with friends and without special knowledge.

I must say that the Internet does not provide information on how to properly perform this ritual. Do not blindly believe what they write. The magic of words, of course, also has a huge impact on each of us. But it's time to realize that you should not believe everything.

If you decide to make ritual and sell your soul to the Devil, seek advice or real help from specialists in the field of black magic. In this case, you will at least be sure that in case of failure, the negative will not fall on you. If during the ritual something does not go according to plan, but all the negativity falls on the performer of the ritual. Experts know how to deal with this negativity. But you can find yourself in failure by independent actions, the Devil is a rather insidious creature.

You can never predict his behavior. I always wonder why people even go to commit magical ritual and want to sell their soul to the Devil. But the same question can be asked to those involved in extreme sports or hazardous work. Everyone chooses for himself what he sees fit. Personally, I am interested in achieving results on my own, gradually and with my own actions. At the same time, I understand that life is not as long as it seems in youth. In pursuit of success, we forget about our own interests. And when we already begin to live for ourselves, we are surprised to understand that life and youth are almost over.

If it is carried out by an experienced person, then there is no reason to be afraid. But if you decide to conduct it yourself, as many do, you run the risk of ensuring yourself only suffering during your lifetime. I cannot say that this is the right decision to sell the soul for money. But man is in control of his own destiny. I just want to draw your attention to the danger a real ritual to sell your soul to the Devil when self-conducted by a novice in magic. Do not experiment or do it for the sake of curiosity, it is better to consult with a professional in your field.

It is more profitable to trade than to fight, even if this war is with the enemy of the human race. He is only interested in your soul, but in return you can ask for anything. At first glance, the deal is profitable - all the joys of life are changing into something ephemeral, which you need to give away very soon. After all, people sell their organs, and contract soldiers sacrifice their lives for money. There are no pitfalls in a deal with the devil - the one who concludes it understands perfectly well that sooner or later his soul will be taken to hell. So why is temporary bliss so readily exchanged for eternal torment?

Origins of the legend

Where did the pact with the devil come from? Who invented it? After all, the Bible says nothing about it. There is a snake that deceived Eve with apples, there is a Devil who tempts Jesus with the opportunity to become the king of the whole Earth in exchange for worshiping himself. But nowhere is it written that the devil walks the world with a package of documents for signature, keeps accounts of the services rendered and takes inventory of the acquired souls.

St. Theophilus and the Devil

A deal with the devil is an invention of medieval folklore, unofficially supported by the church. The very first mention of such relationships is considered to be the life of St. Theophilus of Antioch. Once he was offered the post of bishop, but the holy father refused this for reasons of humility. Another priest, elected to this position, saw in Theophilus a dangerous competitor and began to oppress him in every possible way. Rejecting his former humility, the famous theologian turned to the magician, asking him to arrange a meeting with Satan.

The devil allegedly offered Theophilus a deal: he renounces Jesus and the Mother of God, and the unclean person ensures that he receives the post of bishop. It was necessary to sign the contract with one's own blood. The deal was executed, but soon Theophilus began to be tormented by remorse. He prayed and fasted for 40 days, after which the Mother of God appeared to him, promising to intercede for him before God. After another 30 days of fasting, Theophilus again saw the Mother of God, this time releasing all his sins.

But the devil did not want to back down and threw a copy of the contract to Theophilus as a reminder of the obligations he had assumed. He, without thinking twice, took him to the former bishop, whose place he took, and repented of everything. But the bishop acted radically - he took and burned the contract, thereby annulling it.

Hell from the Book of Hours of Catherine of Cleves

Theophilus' story became the foundation for legends about summoning the devil in general and selling his soul to him in particular. It follows from it that in the 6th century AD, communication with the devil through witchcraft was not considered a special sin. Theophilus felt sorry for his soul, and he terminated the contract with the help of simple repentance (history is silent about whether he remained a bishop). Subsequently, theologians, as they say, "turned the screws", recognizing witchcraft and the challenge of the devil as a terrible sin. In other words, any negotiations with the enemy began to be considered treason.

How is a contract made?

Osculum infame, an act of devotion to the devil - kissing his ass

Since any witchcraft was considered diabolical, and a respectable person could not conjure, the magician undoubtedly received his gift from the devil. At first, it was assumed that the ability to conjure was provided "for free" - if only the magician did more harm to Christianity. However, the idea of ​​obtaining superpowers with impunity was too tempting, therefore, with the development of Christian folklore, thoughts began to sound more and more often that this deal was not selfish.

Moreover, the circle of potential "clients" of the devil was at first too wide. In the early Middle Ages, literally anyone could make a deal with him, and this did not entail any deterioration in his social status. Therefore, by the 14th century, an equal sign was put between the sale of the soul to the devil and witchcraft (witchcraft). It was previously believed that the sorcerer is a highly educated man who uses ancient rituals. The treatise Formicarius (1435-1437), written by the Dominican monk Johann Nieder, was the first church document to state that for witchcraft it was enough just to sell out to Satan, and it was mostly women who did it.

Witch and devil, medieval miniature

Now it seems strange, but in those distant times people were very fond of mystical formalities. The deal with the devil was much more complicated than, for example, with the children's tooth fairy (which needed only a milk tooth under the pillow, exchanged for a coin). According to the same treatise Formicarius, on their own people turned to the devil extremely rarely. Usually they were seduced to this by other people's examples - successful fallen citizens who aroused envy and easily gave helpful tips by black magic.

Johann Nieder mentions the case of the sorcerer Scavia, who allegedly knew how to turn into a mouse. He brought several more people to the devil, including the peasant Stedelen, who confessed under torture that he had slaughtered a rooster at a crossroads on Shabbat night and placed lizards under the threshold of the church.

Indeed, in the 15th century it was customary to think that you couldn’t sell your soul to the devil “on the spur of the moment”, and you need to carefully prepare for this procedure. It was necessary to show up to church early on Sunday morning and renounce God there. It was necessary to regularly pray to the devil, follow a certain lifestyle (diet, sacrifice, curses) and drink the blood of babies. At the same time, it was necessary to clearly express the will to make a deal with the devil and voice its conditions: wealth, youth, magic in exchange for dragging the soul to hell after a certain number of years (depending on the nature of the benefits requested). At the same time, nature itself will resist such a deal - the soul of a person will be seized by the fire of passions, and he will be written in the red book of Death.

The belief that witches who turn to the devil drink the blood of babies is caused by a high birth mortality. The profession of a midwife was very dangerous, because with frequent failures she was accused of selling her soul to the devil

Urban Grandier's pact with the devil

There was another, more formalized way, supposedly replacing exclusive deals with Satan himself with mass deals with ordinary demons. It was necessary to get a piece of virgin parchment from the first calf born by a cow, and write with your blood: "I promise the Great Demon to repay in seven years for everything he does for me." The signature was also applied in blood, which had to be taken from the left hand. However, many demonologists believe that the contract should be written with a special ink made from iron sulfate, alum, ink nuts and gum arabic.

After that, it was necessary to draw a magic circle, stand in its center and utter a rather long incantation, the meaning of which was a pompous appeal to Lucifer, Beelzebub and Astaroth, as well as mentioning key words from the Great Key of Solomon. When the demon appeared, the contract was to be carefully thrown into its paws, in no case leaving the circle.

The inquisitors also foresaw the possibility of concluding an oral contract with the devil. It was believed that even the verbal sale of the soul left a trace on a person - a devilish mark. As is known from the history of the persecution of witches, such were considered unusually large moles, strange scratches, extra nipples, or places on the body where blood does not flow after a needle prick, or places where a person did not feel pain.

The seal of the devil could be affixed in a secret place: under the eyelids, among the hair, or in the natural recesses of the body. It is logical that witches were investigated especially carefully, also paying attention to their children, because one of the ways to seal the contract with the devil, as The Hammer of the Witches (1486) indicates, was sexual intercourse with him.

Sabbat of witches with the participation of the devil (art. Bartholomeus Spranger, 16th century)

Later, demonologists began to teach that the contract can be drawn up in any way, and the opposite side in it can be a whole group of demons. The latter must leave seals and signatures on paper, drawn up in the manner of anagrams, in order to hide their true names. For example, in the case of the Reverend Urban Grandier (1590-1634), who was burnt on charges of sending demons to the Ursuline nuns, the text of the contract was written backwards in Latin with missing vowels, and the scroll was endorsed, in addition to Lucifer, three more demons.

Trading souls with the devil was further complicated by the fact that medieval occultists distinguished between months, days, and even hours during which certain demons were most powerful. It was at this time that it was necessary to conclude an agreement with them. Demons were also divided according to "professional" characteristics. A person who wanted youth and a person who wanted money should have turned to different devils.

In the East, genies built palaces, and in Europe, the devil built bridges, receiving in return the soul of the first person to pass through it (usually people let an animal in). One of these legends goes about the "Devil's Bridge" in the Alps, through which Suvorov crossed in 1799.

Faust and Mephistopheles

At the end of the 15th - the first half of the 16th century, a certain Johann Georg Faust, a doctor and a warlock, lived in Germany. There is no exact information about his biography. From fragmentary mentions of contemporaries, it can be assumed that he had a university education, was a teacher, performed at fairs with tricks, made horoscopes and traveled around Europe, showing off his magical knowledge.

It just so happened that the deeds of this unremarkable person from the point of view of history fell at the time of the “heyday” of legends about contracts with the devil. Popular rumor made Faust a scientist who penetrated the secrets of being with the help of Satan. In the first book about him (“The Story of Doctor Faust, the famous wizard and warlock”, 1587), the plot ended with the impudent Faust being torn apart by demons and dragged to hell.

Faust and Mephistopheles (art. Joseph Fay, 1848)

The Renaissance, with its unbridled thirst for knowledge, only spurred the popularity of the image of a scientist who sold himself to the devil. In various books and plays, he was given the features of a rebel who rebelled against God, he was a humanist, comedian and villain, but Faust in Goethe's interpretation became a textbook - a tragic figure full of cynicism and disbelief.

The contract with Mephistopheles was considered fulfilled when Faust reached the highest pleasure in life (“stop a moment, you are beautiful”). The scientist fulfilled this condition, but the angels stole his soul from the devil and took it to paradise. From the story of Faust, one way or another, all other works about selling the soul to the devil grew.

Is it possible to outsmart?

Saint Wolfgang and the Devil

According to the legends, the devil can be fooled. Saint Wolfgang (924-994) promised him for the construction of the church the soul of the first creature that crossed its threshold. Here the legend splits in two - in one version of it, the devil instantly built a church around Wolfgang, leaving him no other way out, except through the threshold and into hell.

On the second occasion, Wolfgang prayed for a miracle, and the wolf was the first to cross the temple. The devil's church in the city of St. Wolfgang still stands (photo) - one of the few in the world where there are two altars at once. In a diabolically evil twist of fate, the Dachau concentration camp was located not far from it, where the Nazis kept at least 3,000 priests.

A treaty sealed in blood was considered inviolable. In theory, this was supposed to turn people away from his conclusion, because a person has already committed a great sin and you can’t turn back what has been done - otherwise everyone will strive to receive the services of Satan, use them and terminate the deal. However, some theologians taught that if you burn the contract, all magical accessories and all things received from the devil, sincerely repent in the church and repair the harm caused to people, then perhaps the soul can be saved.

You can also outwit the devil in a Faustian way, by stopping the moment. The hero of Robert Bloch's story "Train to Hell" (1958) sold his soul for the opportunity to stop time at the moment that he considers the best. Naturally, all his life it seemed to him that the best was yet to come, and he safely grew old, but escaped the Underworld, deciding to stop time right on board the train that was taking him to hell.

The USA has its own Faust. The hero of the American Revolution, General Jonathan Moulton, sold his soul to the devil for filling his boots with gold every month. The cunning warrior cut off the soles of his boots and placed them over the hole in the basement. The devil realized that he had been deceived, and in a rage burned Moulton's house.

There were rumors that Niccollo Paganini sold his soul to the devil in exchange for mastery of the violin. Rumors are rumors, but the Bishop of Nice refused the musician a funeral mass

Deal in books and movies

Terry Pratchett played on the legend of Faust in Eric (1990). Aspiring demonologist Eric Thursley summoned the poor fellow Rincewind from the Underground Dimensions, who, with considerable amazement, discovered in himself the ability to fulfill the wishes of the "master" with one snap of his fingers. True, according to the best traditions legends about the deceiver-devil, the achieved result fully corresponded to the wording, but turned out to be the opposite of the essence of what was desired.

Terry Pratchett and the funniest Faust in the world

Another merry fellow - Mark Twain - ridiculed a deal with Satan in the story of the same name, main character whom he tried to sell his soul through a broker, promising him a commission of 2.5% (the meeting with Satan was organized without delay).

Stephen Bene ("The Devil and Daniel Webster", 1937) allowed the possibility of termination of the contract with the devil through the courts solely due to oratory a lawyer (interestingly, in the 1997 film The Devil's Lawyer, the law office was run by Satan himself).

And The Simpsons parodied this plot in the episode "The Devil and Homer Simpson", where the titular character sold his soul to the devil for one donut. Homer tried to cheat and did not finish a piece of the devil's treat, so that the contract would not come into force, but soon hunger took over. Marge saved her husband by presenting a wedding photograph at the court, on the back of which it was written that Homer gives his soul to his wife. The deal with the devil was thus void.

Some may also be involved in a deal with the devil. magic items or very specific conditions apply. For example, in Oscar Wilde's novel The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890), such an artifact was the portrait of the protagonist, who assumed all his sins.

The portrait of Dorian Gray took all the harm, making this handsome man invulnerable

Robert Louis Stevenson in the story "The Devil's Bottle" (1891) beat the sale of the soul to the devil from an unexpected side: hundreds of years ago, Satan brought to earth a bottle with a demon that fulfills all your desires. The conditions are as follows: a bottle can be sold (but only for metallic money), and cheaper than it was bought. If a person died leaving the bottle in his possession, his soul was dragged to hell. Fulfillment of desires was also with a catch (the main character, who wished money, lost his rich uncle).

It was difficult to sell the bottle cheaper, as it changed hands many times and its price dropped to a few Tahitian centimes. It was assumed that sooner or later a person simply would not be able to sell a bottle cheaper than to buy it. But Stevenson did not take into account fluctuations in exchange rates, inflation and denomination, which formally allows maintaining the turnover of the bottle indefinitely.

The title character of the film "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" made a bet with the devil on the soul of his daughter

Isaac Asimov proposed another version of the deal with the devil, according to which demonic powers are given to a person, and after 10 years he is put to the test. The one who passed it joins the ranks of the demons, the one who fails becomes another lost soul (“Three-Four”).

Finally selling the soul in ethical sense this word can occur without the participation of otherworldly forces. Michael Swanwick reproduced the tragedy of Faust on the scale of an alternative history: Mephistopheles turns out to be an alien from parallel world who gave Faust ultra-modern technologies and did not hide his true goals - the destruction of humanity with the help of progress ("Jack Faust", 1997). Atomic energy in the 16th century - such Goethe never dreamed of.

Johnny Blaze sold his soul in exchange for curing his father and became a devil knight ("Ghost Rider")

Selling your soul is a common thread, isn't it? It is extremely difficult to make something new in it, everything was invented 500 years ago. The deal is obviously losing, so the authors can only compose new terms of the contract and new tricks aimed at non-fulfillment by both parties.

However, in most cases, a deal with the devil remains a symbol of human greed, shortsightedness and stupidity. Recent examples: in Doom 3, Dr. Betruger sold himself to hell, in Warcraft 3, Prince Arthas turned to the side of darkness because of a magic sword, and in Supernatural, members of the Winchester family trade their souls left and right.

We humans are impatient and want to get what we want as soon as possible. But hurry up - you'll make the devil laugh. Take your time, do not chase after the "freebie" - and everything will be better than you think.

I do all the work for you, I make the sacrifice, I open the bridge, I pull you into thin world I give energy for your awareness. You all understand what is happening. I lead you to the place of the transaction, I protect you from hungry ghosts, I lead you back to the body, I close the bridge.

How does this happen?

Ceremonies are held both in person and remotely.

A unique document will be made for you, confirming the obligations of the Devil to you (you can see examples of such an agreement below). The document can be received by you in digital format, remotely. Please note that this document is produced by the Order of Satan only ONCE for each transaction, and it contains the astral signatures of the thirteen demons of Hell, and the seal of the DEVIL himself.


Regarding the requirements for the ceremony. Obviously, the Order does not take money for its implementation. All expenses for the ritual will be made at our expense. The Order will receive its reward from the DEVIL, for your soul.
However, keep in mind that you will definitely need to provide a sacrificial animal, because this is the only way to build an energy bridge between the Hellworld and you.
During the sacrifice, we will receive ENERGY, a building material to connect YOU and the Lower World, to make a deal. sacrifice in the name Dark Forces allows you to convey YOUR energy to the demon. If the victim is purchased by someone else, with their own money, the demon will actually visit this person (the energy bridge will be built before him). Even if the Order performs the ceremony without your sacrifice, the demon will eventually come to me, for MY soul, and not to you. This is the law, the law of magic, the law of the exchange of energy.

All you need is a minimum - a formality, to provide a sacrificial animal.
Also, the victim has another important role. It is clear that when minors apply, for them money for cattle is an unbearable amount, and for adequate older people, buying an animal for the ceremony is mere pennies.

The very method of dealing with the devil is described in many sources. It comes down to the following. We ask you to exchange your soul for those benefits that we want to receive. We are waiting for his arrival. Don't rely on direct contact. Seeing in a dream or in another altered state a tall, expensive and tastefully dressed person and not necessarily in black clothes. We are waiting for his offer.

With your voluntary consent, we conclude a deal. We comply with the formalities, write a receipt, put a signature and wait for the fulfillment of our desires. You cannot sell your soul to the devil in exchange for the welfare of another person. This may be regarded as a sacrifice on your part and the transaction will not take place. Only your personal requests are fulfilled. You will not be forced, forced, you must consciously, deliberately or not make a decision.

For those who are just thinking about selling their souls, a few words why this is not necessary.

The devil is indifferent to your financial situation and health. He only wants your soul. The faster the soul leaves the body, the better for it. Life after the transaction can be reduced to several years. One condition can extend your life. You must carry evil and gather as many people as possible who are ready to sell their souls. Ordinary applicants do not think about it.

People who practice black magic do just that. They do not hide what powers they use. A person who comes to them for help opens his soul to dark energy. A channel opens quickly enough and dark energy enters a person without the help of a sorcerer. Various abilities such as clairvoyance and healing are rapidly developing. Starting to heal other people, the healer does the same thing as the sorcerer with him, opens the channel. The perception of reality is changing, distorted. Self-confidence in one's abilities changes character. A person becomes angry, tough, cunning, ruthless.

In conclusion, the tale of the great sorcerer.

There lived a young man. He names a strong craving for everything mystical. I tried many techniques and rituals, but he did not find himself and, continuing the search, he understood. Asking yourself the question, why waste your time when you can get everything at once. Conducting another rite, I heard a voice.

"You can become a great magician and fulfill your desires yourself." By that time, an experienced and cunning man already understood whose voice it was. He thought, “What have I got to lose, isn’t that what I wanted? I’ll find out the conditions, the price, I’ll bargain if necessary.” So he asked directly: “Do you need my soul?” I received an answer: “I don’t need your soul and I won’t even take receipts from you, I just want to help. If you want, you will serve me, but no, live as you know. He was a little surprised to hear such an answer and accepted the offer.

Power began to come to the magician. He began to treat people and successfully. Money flowed in a stream. The magician opened his courses and began to teach others how to use power. He admonished his best students: "Make a deal, but do not serve him, as I do, and you will have everything." A few more years passed, the magician got tired of living in the earthly world, tired of people with their petty problems. He knew the answer, how you can live forever, but for this he needed a lot of energy. He decided to ask her. Came to the devil, now he could do it.

The devil rejoiced, "hello my servant." The magician was indignant, “what kind of servant am I to you, we have an agreement,” to which he received a simple answer and understood the subtlety of the depth of deception. The devil told him the following. “So much dark energy flows in you, my servant, that you can only live next to me, in my dark, endlessly dreary world. You won’t be able to get into another world, they won’t let you in, and you will serve forever until I get tired of it. Start right now, your time is up.

Conclusion. In my life I understood simple thing. Everything depends on us. Not enough love, learn to give love to other people and you will get it back. No money understand the principle of their receipt. Money, love, health, luck, you can have only knowledge and practice. The comments show that people are ready to sell their souls for a lot of money. Hoping that money will help them acquire everything else in life. Hopefully the devil will come and buy your soul. You can wait forever, until the end of your life, or you can change it yourself.

The devil is a representative of the dark world, the bearer of the highest evil, the main opponent of God and all the Lord's earthly and heavenly powers. The confrontation between God and the Devil is as ancient as the world, and is present in all existing world religions.

In accordance with Christian teaching, our world is divided into the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of the Devil. That is, evil and good control simultaneously all living on the planet. And at all times between light and dark world there is a struggle for human souls.

Of course, every person dreams of a prosperous successful life, the components of which are wealth, talent, recognition in society. But not always and not everyone manages to achieve this in real life. And when hope is lost and hands drop, many people think about making a deal with the devil.

There are no pitfalls in an agreement with the devil, and there are no omissions or allegories. A person sells his own soul in exchange for receiving benefits and pleasure in real life, and at the same time he knows that sooner or later his soul will be taken to hell.

At what time did it appear this ritual and what is it connected with? Indeed, in the Bible there is no mention of such a temptation for people expelled from Eden. Yes, there is a description of the devil and a tempting serpent, but nothing is said about the fact that in the future the devil will walk the earth and collect the souls of people to put them in hell or for any other purposes known only to him.

For the first time, a deal with the devil was mentioned in medieval folklore and was tacitly supported by the church. In a legend that has come down to our times, it is told that a certain priest Theophilus of Antioch, in order to receive the position of bishop, entered into an agreement with dark force. For this, the devil demanded from him to renounce the Lord God and the Mother of God. But the appointment to the proposed post did not follow, as the priest repented of his act. He prayed and fasted unceasingly for 40 days, then the Mother of God appeared to him and remitted his sins. Thus, the deal with the devil was annulled, and any negotiations with the devil were considered a sin.

It is noteworthy that, despite the fact that the idea of ​​a deal with the dark world was born in the Middle Ages, it was during this period that people who were suspected of having links with the devil were persecuted. They were persecuted, killed, burned at the stake and it was almost impossible to prove their innocence. Any talented or lucky person could be accused of making a deal with the devil. But there were also those who were ready to do anything to sell their souls to the devil and get untold riches for it.

Historical figures who made a pact with the devil

The famous Italian virtuoso violinist Nicolo Paganini, whose works are eternal, was suspected of making a deal with the devil. Amazing abilities manifested themselves in his early childhood. From the age of five he played the mandolin, and at the age of seven he wrote his first musical composition. But in adolescence the young child prodigy suffered a nervous breakdown, and he plunged headlong into a hectic social life filled with partying and drinking. By the age of 22, Nicolo Paganini came to his senses and quickly became an outstanding musician-composer. It was during this period that he is suspected of making a deal with the devil. At that time there was not a single musician who could compare with him in the game, the violinist brought the audience to tears during concerts. And some of his fans claimed that they saw the devil himself on the stage next to him in the form of a dark shadow, who helped him play music, that is, he practically led the bow. Moreover, it was surprising that when Nicolo Paganini lost his hearing in old age, this did not affect the quality of his playing and the virtuosity of performing passages, so he continued to give concerts.

Mystery and mystery of nature, unusual appearance, accusations of the public in collusion with the devil, as well as the fact that the musician could not confess, because before his death he lost not only his hearing, but also his voice, led the church ministers of those times into a rage. He was denied unction and burial according to the Catholic rite. Only 19 years later, the remains of the great master were transferred to the cemetery of Parma from his secret burial in the family estate.

The dark person who sold his soul to the devil is Gilles Di Ra, who lived at the beginning of the 15th century, and came from a noble and wealthy French family. At 11, he was left an orphan and inherited a huge fortune. Having connected his fate with military service, Gilles Di Rae achieved great success and received the rank of marshal. He was the leader of Joan of Arc's militia, as well as her personal bodyguard and mentor. After Jeanne was captured, he gathered his own army and headed for Rouen, but, unfortunately, did not have time, she was executed. He soon retired and at first devoted a lot of time to the glorification of the great French heroine.

After some time, Gilles Di Ra became interested in alchemy, occultism and necromancy. In his numerous castles scattered throughout the country, he organized laboratories in which he collected magicians, sorcerers and healers from all over the world.

All these pseudoscientists, using the generous financial influence of the master, tried to invent:

  • Philosopher's Stone;
  • Youth elixir;
  • Recipes for turning stones into gold.

All this they tried to do by attracting evil spirits. In terrible experiments with the aim of appeasing the devil, victims were used. They were small children who were simply boiled in cauldrons. Around castles with equipped laboratories, terrible cries of innocent babies were heard during the experiments. Of course, such a crime could not go unnoticed by the authorities for a long time, and in 1440 Gilles Di Rais was charged by the church. The marshal was sure of his impunity and did not even imagine that anyone would testify against him, the almighty master of the surroundings. But the main witnesses were, first of all, his two guards, who themselves saw the torture of children. In addition, his personal spiritual mentor and this finally broke Gilles Di Ra and he confessed to all his crimes.

Marshal Gilles Di Ra was accused of killing up to 200 babies and organized a public repentance for the sins committed. After that, he was strangled and burned along with several of his assistants.

Another Italian violinist himself admitted that he made a deal with the devil. This is Giuseppe Tartini, who is one of the luminaries of the Italian violin school of the 18th century. In his memoirs, the composer admitted that when he worked on one of the sonatas, he did not succeed for a long time. He thought about music day and night. And then one day in a dream the devil appeared to him and offered to make a deal, that is, to fulfill any of his desires for the fact that he would become his "servant". The composer, in a fit of anger, demanded that the most beautiful music in the world be played on the violin. This desire was fulfilled, and, according to the master, he did not hear anything more beautiful. Despite the fact that when Giuseppe Tartini woke up, he could remember only one trill, over time, on his own inspiration from the melody he heard in a dream, he nevertheless wrote a sonata known to the whole world, which he called the "Devil's Sonata". This work glorified the composer, but hardly anyone will know whether there was a deal with the devil.

The danger of making dark agreements

Many are interested in the question, is it possible to make a deal with the devil in modern world and what is its danger. Of course you can. Occult services are provided by professional magicians who will perform the required rituals correctly and efficiently. But it is quite possible to sell your soul to the devil on your own without anyone's help. The main thing is to believe that the creditor, which in this case will be the devil, really exists.

It is enough just to mentally turn to the devil, and soon he himself or one of his minions will appear before you in a dream or in reality for negotiations. A pact with the devil is very dangerous for a person. Before calling evil spirit you need to think about your act, weigh the pros and cons. You should know that there will be no going back. And you also need to take into account the fact that the devil is a real experienced tempter, so it will be difficult after he appears to refuse the deal, so its conditions will look attractive.

One should not be afraid that the devil will appear in some sinister terrible image. As a rule, if the meeting happens on the street, then an ordinary person will come up to you, the only difference between him and others will be a gloomy appearance and dark clothes. There may be another creature in a dream, but definitely it will not look like a monster, because in order to conclude a successful deal, there is absolutely no need to frighten the client.

A deal with the devil is always made without witnesses and does not require documentation. As a rule, it contains a ritual part, during special ceremony the renunciation of the one who sold the soul from God is carried out and an oath is pronounced to the forces of the dark world. The devil always fulfills all the terms of the deal. But at the same time, it requires the obligatory fulfillment of obligations also from the other side. Before leaving, the devil will definitely demand some personal item that symbolizes the bestowal of the soul and is a kind of confirmation of the completed deal.

In the modern world, there are many successful businessmen and entrepreneurs who have sold their souls to the devil for material wealth. Of course, this fact is not advertised, so little is known about the procedures for making deals with the dark world. It should be remembered that wealth and luxury quickly become boring if they are not backed up by peace of mind. Therefore, those few real stories our contemporaries who reveal the secrets of deals with the devil always have a bad end. And what actually happens to the soul sold to the devil, no one knows and is unlikely to find out.

It is very difficult to terminate the contract with the devil, but you can try. To do this, you need to confess and visit the temple every day, where you need to pray and ask for forgiveness from God. With sincere repentance, the Almighty will forgive his slave his sins and allow him to start life from scratch, which will be more complete and happy.
