"satanism" is a nightmare of the Christian religion perpetuated
by authors of fiction like Huysmans ("La Bas", after and/or in
coordination with Leo Taxil and his masonic hoax), Wheatley
("The Satanist", among others of his text and in his wake),
and the Pazder hoax, "Michelle Remembers"; and the various
historical xenophobic blood libels ( exemplified by such
travesties as "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion", and other
racist and classist propaganda intending to frighten and
deceive). this bears only a partial resemblance to the religion
of Satanism which has so recently (1960s) developed).
> and the modern belief that one can sell their soul to the devil.
while pacts with gods and spirits is age-old, the Christian notion
and legend that one might sell their soul to the devil owes its
prominence primarily to the legend of the magician Faustus,
which may be based on someone historical yet which typically
incorporates Christian overtones of fall from faith and damnation
(sometimes, as with Goethe, also including a final redemption).
the character of the pact depends upon where you look for
it. the Faustus legends inform the post-mortem negotiated
settlement, whereas the meeting with the Devil (Black Man) at
the crossroads by African-Americans (after encounters with the
Crossroads god Ellegua/Legba/etc. from Africa and African-
diasporic religious) assumes a more practical and subjectively
rational character (because it is the bargaining with the SELF
as servant or slave, not the soul, which obtains, and it is a
deal which may be negotiated and broken).

with special attention to pacts and selling the soul to Satan.
and http://www.luckymojo.com/crossroads.html
for some fascinating pro-religious, magical significance.
a book by the name of "Renaissance Magic & the Return of the
Golden Age: the Occult Tradition & Marlowe, Jonson, &
Shakespeare", by John S. Mebane, University of Nebraska Press,
1989 (esp. Chapter 7), has been of great use to me in
researching this subject, as was the less academic but equally
entertaining writing of W.B. Crow in "A Fascinating History of
Witchcraft, Magic, and Occultism", Hai Leighton/Wilshire Book
Company, Melvin Powers, 1968 (esp. Chapter 26), quite a bit of
which I transcribed within the links above (propaganda/Crow).
my aim is to make this kind of information available to the
general public, so I will charge you nothing for what I do.
