Sell your soul to the Devil, conclude a trade contract with Beelzebub, some think these are all fairy tales born in the head of the master of the pen and fantasy.
In fact, this does not seem to be mythology. A huge number of people dream of world recognition and wealth, respect for a happy life, and are ready to give almost everything for the listed benefits. And it seems that some of those who strongly want to sell their souls to the Devil succeed, a buyer from the other world comes.
In history, there are records of people who, for the sake of their crazy ideas, do anything, and even sell their souls to the Devil. There are many examples when people, in order to achieve a certain result, entered into a trade contract with the master of the dark forces. Now many will think that all this is mysticism, an unproven case, that demonic forces do not exist.
Perhaps the skeptics are right, there is too much mystical and paranormal in these cases. Nevertheless, if there is no doubt about the existence of God, the ruler of light forces on the side of Good, then let us recognize the existence of the Devil.
Paganini, the great violin of history singing now to Satan
Little is said about this, nevertheless it is believed that the man who sold his soul to Beelzebub was a talented musician who divinely wielded the violin Niccolo Paganini. He started playing the mandolin at the age of 5, at the age of 7 he was already writing his own musical compositions. Little Niccolo began to give professional concerts, barely reaching the age of 12. He really was a gifted child, overshadowed by the hand of talent.
When Paganini was 17 years old, his nerves broke down and failed to get out of his depression, the young man burst into the life of society with balls and alcohol in a spring storm. However, at the age of 22, Niccolò firmly decided to take up his mind, and by giving up alcohol instantly occupies the niche of the great violinists of all times and peoples. The young talent was simultaneously able to masterfully play on 4 strings and 3 octaves. Today, not every talented musician is capable of such virtuosity.

A year later, the violinist's own repertoire contained 24 capriccios. There is still not a single violinist who could play the parts of Paganini. Therefore, the maestro himself performed all the works written by him. Now no one remembers, but after each concert of the greatest musician, there were certainly tears in the eyes of the audience. It was something incredible, it seemed that mysticism enveloped the air itself, but the violinist's hand and his instrument were able to extract any feelings from a person's soul.
Devil's Tower, the abode of the dark god. This is where the buyer of human souls lives.
His most famous work is considered to be "Dance of the Witches", which immediately gave birth to a lot of rumors in society. Many then began to say that in order to obtain such a technique of virtuoso playing, Paganini sold his soul to the Devil. Regular listeners, who did not miss a single sound of Paganini's bow, assured that they saw with their own eyes how Satan was playing the violin with Niccolo behind him!
tempter; Devil's tower, the abode of Beelzebub?
Skeptics considered this all a fiction, supposedly the owner of Hell had nothing to do with it, the whole point was in the gifted talent and skill, multiplied by Paganini's hard work. That's what put him on a high pedestal of the greatest composer, but he did not sell his soul to the Devil. A strange thing happened when the maestro died, they refused to bury him according to the church rite, only years later, at the request of the pontiff himself, Niccolò was buried in Parma in 1876.
Composer Giuseppe Tartini is considered another musician whose appearance of talent is attributed to making a deal with the lord of the dark forces. The most talented creator of instrumental compositions, who wrote about 400 pieces of music. His hobbyhorse was various sonatas and violin concertos, but the author's karma was spoiled by the famous masterpiece - "The Devil's Sonata", which probably became the reason to suspect him of having connections with a demonic entity.
According to mythology, the eminent musician once shared with his friend Jerome Lalande that Satan had allegedly appeared to him in a dream and offered his services. Tartini, not at a loss, listened to the terms of the deal and signed everything, thus he immediately became the apprentice of the devil. After the master class, he asked the Devil to play the instrument. As the knowledgeable people say, the dark god played very beautifully, and when Jerome woke up, he quickly sketched the notes he heard and became a famous person.
I do not know if it was so in reality, since there are practically no witnesses to the event, because the conclusion of the contract with the Devil took place in a dream. Although, when such a deal is concluded, eyewitnesses still cannot be found, this is too "spiritual" business. By the way, an interesting case can be cited from the life of Rosemary Brown. The woman had absolutely no knowledge of music, but one day she approached the instrument and became a famous composer. According to Rosemary, the music was whispered to her by the greatest musicians of the past, by this time dead.
General who sold his soul to the Devil
In the English army, there are also fans of communication with the demonic side, for example, Army General Jonathan Moulton. As a child, he worked as an apprentice for a cabinetmaker, later rose to a personal apprentice, nevertheless, in 1745, the young man left the craft and went to look for luck and future prospects in military affairs.
Having become a military man, the future general fought for King George, was a participant in hostilities in the French and Indian battles. He married in 1749 and later became the father of 11 children. Immediately after the wedding, Jonathan, unknown but miraculously, suddenly becomes a fabulously rich man. Obviously, a neighbor who instantly got rich in a mystical way got to people "on the tongue", they say, the general sold his soul to the Devil, got involved with demons, but now he lives as a millionaire.
Exactly 20 years after his wedding, the family estate burned to the ground, but this is the fault of Molton himself, who had previously deceived Beelzebub. According to the mythology of the incident, Jonathan made a deal with the Devil for his desires and sold his soul. According to the signed contract (by the way, without binding with blood) every month his boots were to be filled to the brim with gold coins.
Nevertheless, despite the contract, the general did not want to part with his soul, he decided on a trick: he cut off the soles of the boots and hung them over a deep pit. And I must say that for two decades he managed to deceive the owner of Hell. In the end, the demonic ruler found out about the deception and punished the deceiver with a terrible punishment.
Some people said that after the death of the general, the grave was opened. The body was not found there, there was only a small chest with coins in the coffin, on which one could see the images of the Devil himself. What awaited the general in the afterlife is even scary to imagine.
Cornelius Agrippa is considered to be one of the most prominent esoteric writers belonging to the Renaissance. This person seriously comprehended medicine and jurisprudence, but did not acquire a scientific title. Among the people, Cornelius was known as a sorcerer and alchemist, considered an adherent of occultism and astrology. At the same time, Agrippa was known as an active human rights defender of the female population, those accused of witchcraft.
He can still be considered an occultist, because he wrote several works devoted to this science, which are still relevant. However, in 1535, Agrippa is sentenced to death as a heretic and apostate. It seemed that luck smiled at Agrippa, he manages to escape from prison … only on the way home he suddenly died.
Now no one remembers the root cause, but everyone started talking and rumors spread - the man made acquaintance with Satan. The generally accepted legend was fixed, they say, dying, Cornelius set free a huge black dog, which accompanied esotericism everywhere. Allegedly, sitting on a dog, Satan's mediator, or even himself, loved to ride.
Faust, the tragedy of a broken contract
Of course, one cannot at least briefly mention the well-known history of Faust. If someone does not remember, then among those who communicated with the devil, you can see Doctor Faust. This man traveled a lot during his life and was a good alchemist. Faust lived in Germany during the glorious times of the Renaissance.
Surprisingly enough, the life of Faust became the basis of several famous works. According to literary sources, Faust was seriously interested in the mystical and occult sciences, and with their help he summoned the main demon of Hell. Once, the Devil came to Faust and asked directly - do you want to live beautifully? - so sign the contract, and the man signed the paper.
For 16 years, Faust lived freely in accordance with the clauses of the contract, nevertheless, he wanted to terminate the obligation, for which he paid with his life. Once in the room of the warlock, there was a terrible roar and noise, the whole building literally jumped to the top. When the frightened people entered Faust's office, a grandiose hole in the ceiling appeared to their astonished gaze, while the Kabbalist himself mysteriously disappeared. Moreover, since that time, no one has seen the disappearance of the doctor; he remained missing in action.
The priest sold his soul to the Devil
Among the huge crowd of citizens who made deals with demonic power, there are also ministers of the church. It would seem that someone else is okay, but the servants of the light god could not have anything to do with the dark force. But that's just not so, the story may be ruthless, but true. Throughout the time, as Christianity is confessed, the life of the lower and higher monastic ranks has always been condemned by the people around them. It is not known whether the accusatory arguments were sound, but many church names were still tarnished with disagreeable deeds.
One of Christ's servants seen next to the demon was Pope Sylvester II. The Pope was a very intelligent man, well versed in mathematics and other exact sciences. It is believed that Sylvester II is considered the inventor of the pendulum clock; at least he introduced Arabic numerals into use. The Pontiff has published many books on music, mathematics and other disciplines. He really was a talented person, probably not in vain in his position.
When the time came for him to leave for the Kingdom of the Dead, information appeared that he was signing a devilish contract. Researchers believe that these rumors could have been caused by the fact that the pontiff was in very close contact with Arab scholars, and was an ardent opponent of the sale and purchase of church officials and high dignity. One way or another, suspicions were formed, perhaps by envy, but it is possible that a contract concluded with the Devil helped him to ascend to the post.
In France, too, there was a loud religious scandal on the subject of a deal with evil spirits. The accused was a priest named Urbain Grandier, who lived in the small town of Louden, where his parish was located. Grandier, like all clergy, had to adhere to celibacy, the so-called vow of celibacy. Nevertheless, despite his sacred duty, the Frenchman loved women very much, and earned the worldly title of "libertine."
In 1632, accusations came from the monastery of Saint Ursula against Grandier, where it was alleged that he had sent a demon to the holy abode, and subsequently dishonored the nuns. Obviously, the priest was called to account, and with the help of hot iron, shattered bones, they were called to confess to contact with the demon. However, the man never gave up. After a while, records appear in which it is documented that the priest fully confirms the charges brought against him, and certifies the papers with his personal signature.
The case is interesting in that among the papers was found an agreement on a deal between Grandier and Satan. All the documentary information obtained as a result of this high-profile religious case of debauchery was recorded in Latin, using such a technique as mirror writing. On each side of the written agreement with Satan, there was a personal signature of the latter. True, according to the assurances of the researchers, although no expert examination was carried out, it is clear that torture will force a person to sign any document.
The main striking force of the denouncing priest was the document, or rather, it was a genuine contract, since it was removed from the demon Asmodeus, from the very office of the Devil!
How to sell your soul to the Devil
Believe it or not, selling a soul is actually quite simple. For example, before, in order to sell the soul / consciousness to Satan, one had to perform some mystical manipulations, make occult passes with his hands. Then a guide comes, a messenger, an authorized person - in general, an employee of the demonic office.
As it is not surprising, and maybe there is nothing strange in this, but who came from the devil is aware of all your desires. This is probably a violation of confidentiality requirements, but it greatly simplifies the procedure for concluding a deal - you just need to put a signature.
By the way, in our modern time, progress is so great, and people have lost faith in a bright God, that you can sell your soul on the Internet, putting it up for auction. This is exactly what an English student Gareth Malholm, from Newcastle County, did a couple of years ago. The administration of the resource did not manage to withdraw the lot from sale, and the young soul of the student left for 17 bucks.
Last year, an American student put up a soul for auction, asking for $ 45,000 - the lot "hung" for a couple of minutes, and was removed. Unlucky with the sale of the soul this year to a Chinese young man who, by the way, asked for only $ 200. I don’t know, maybe few people are interested in the Chinese soul, but Ty's lot hung for two days and turned out to be unclaimed.
According to grains of information (everything that happens is kept secret) in ancient times, the white and dark gods were brothers. Once they quarreled so badly that blood was shed. The gods stopped fighting themselves, fearing to shed their own blood with their own hands, and decided to recruit soldiers. But if the light god called by faith and truth, then the dark god sees no harm from buying up souls and the meanness of deception.
