 Diabolical pact - Free Encyclopedia of Thelema
According to Christian tradition on witchcraft the diabolical pact is a pact between a person and Satan or any other demon (or demons) in which the person offers (or sells) his/her soul in exchange for favours.
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.
These acts were presented often as a proof of diabolical pacts, but there is no proof of whether they were written by insane persons believing they were actually dealing with a demon or just were fake acts presented by the tribunals of the Inquisition.
