	Diabolical pact - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to Christian belief on witchcraft, the diabolical pact is a pact between a person and Satan or any other demon (or demons) in which the person trades, or attempts to trade, his or her soul in exchange for diabolical favours.
		These acts were presented often as a proof of diabolical pacts, though critics claim there is no proof of whether they were authentic, written by insane persons believing they were actually dealing with a demon or just were fake acts presented by the tribunals of the Inquisition.
		A notorious case of a diabolical pact was the one that cost Urbain Grandier his life.

		Those favours can be youthfulness, knowledge, wealth, power, etc., but it was also believed that some persons made this type of pact just as a sign of recognising the Devil as their master, in exchange for nothing.

	[No title]
		Barbara Rosen describes the notion of a 'diabolical pact' as an "absolutely basic adjunct of the continental idea of a witch." (11) Whereas in England it was the fear of maleficium which was behind most of the accusations and trials, in Europe it was mainly the fear of the devil.
		According to European doctrine witchcraft and a pact with the devil are synonymous, whereas in England the act of 1604 implied a witch might be able to commit an offence, say the laming of a neighbours cow, purely as an act of maleficium.
		In England, at least until the middle of the sixteenth century, the pact between the devil and his victim was sealed by the sucking of blood, generally by a 'familiar devil' in the form of an animal.

	Diabolical mark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Christian demonology, the diabolical mark was an indelible mark that especially Satan, or any other demon, made in the body of those who had made a pact with him.
		All witches and warlocks were said to have that mark, because the diabolical pact was a necessary condition to be such a thing.
		It was believed that this mark was made in a hidden place of the person's body, i.e.

		In general, the most important demons are said to have a signature or seal, which is personal and generally used by them to sign the acts of the diabolical pacts.
		The Celts had a representation of a pentacle (without the surrounding circle) that was said was the footstep of a ghost or a witch with one leg of a goat instead of human; the belief in the "witch's foot" lasted for centuries in Christian folklore.

	Urbain Grandier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Interrogated for a second time, the nuns (including the Mother Superior) did not renew their accusations, but this did not affect the predetermined outcome of the trial.
		The judges (the clerics Laubardemont, Lactance, Surin and Tranquille), after torturing the priest, introduced documents purportedly signed by Grandier and several demons as evidence that he had made a diabolical pact.
		One of the acts was written in Latin and appeared to be signed by Grandier; another was almost illegible, had many strange symbols, and was "signed" by several demons with their seals, as well as by Satan himself (a signature clearly reads Satanas).

	Witchcraft
		But in witchcraft, as commonly understood, there is involved the idea of a diabolical pact or at least an appeal to the intervention of the spirits of evil.
		In such cases this supernatural aid is usually invoked either to compass the death of some obnoxious person, or to awaken the passion of love in those who are the objects of desire, or to call up the dead, or to bring calamity or impotence upon enemies, rivals, and fancied oppressors.

		The persistent manichean character of popular belief was arguably reinforced by the marked tendency to binary polarization among the elites, to deepen the threatening image of a diabolical anti-world, whose members were committed to subverting the Christian commonwealth.
		This was going some way beyond the standard view, but as we have seen, many of the accounts in the trials evaded this difficulty by making the Devil commit such actions on behalf of his minions, or indeed had him using threats or violence to extract their reluctant consent.
		The parallel between the diabolical antiworld and the narcissistic one is exceptionally strong, leading to the natural conclusion that they are in fact versions of the same thing, rooted in the same psychological materials.

		[5] European continental belief mainly centred on the nature of the ‘diabolical pact’ between the witch and the Devil, and related to the condition of the witch.
		It appears then that one explanation for witchcraft belief could be found in Christianity’s attempts to eradicate magical practice and the diabolical pact.
		Christian theology had speculated upon the ‘diabolic pact’ in an attempt to make sense of witchcraft, however, such theory was not founded in contemporary popular tradition.
