What are the consequences of selling your soul to Satan?
Well from what I understand about deals with the devil, he would grant you exactly what you wished for. However, it would have a twist. Rigged in his favor in other words. He still needs a body after all.
For example:
Say you are falling in love with a person that you can not have for whatever the reasons. You, then, would offer your proposal to the devil. “I offer you my soul and in return I wish for events to have worked out in such a way that I can be with so and so.” You would sign the contract in your own blood or something dramatic like that and just like that your wish is granted. All the reasons why you could not be with so and so are bypassed, and as it turns out you do indeed fall deeply in love with that person. Sometime into the future could be days, weeks, months, even years the person you love and sold your soul to be with gets into a particularly nasty car crash, or falls down a lengthy fleet of stairs, or chokes while eating something; take your pick, either way that person dies. Desperately, you turn back to the devil in a futile attempt to refute the contract. The devil gives a smirk and replies with, “You aren’t stupid, you should know this is a contract that one doesn’t simply refute. Besides I granted your wish. You were with the person you wanted, were you not?” With the laughter of the devil still echoing in your head you are warped back to where you were before you made the deal. You wonder if it was just a rather vivid dream. Yes, it might have felt like years but dreams are funny things aren’t they? You move on and live a full life. Little do you know that when you die you will “live” out eternity in hell, in servitude to the devil.
Is a deal with the devil worth it? No, of course not. You will not get what you want. You might think things are indeed going you way, but it is merely an illusion. There is no positive outcome.
Great story
The trick to any deal with a demon/devil is to be specific about what you want and knowing that the other side will not make a deal that is in their favor. Remember, depending on your viewpoint of how old/young the universe is, these beings are either thousands of years old or billions, meaning that they have had time to experience much more than we mere mortals ever can.
So, knowing that they can figure out ways to twist words and ideas in ways that we can’t comprehend it’s best to make a deal that you can find some happiness in even while being screwed over. Wishing to be beautiful till you die is pretty easy to twist. After making the deal, the person begins to choke on a piece of food at breakfast. Unfortunately, no one is around to help out and the person dies, a beautiful corpse left behind. Putting in a time limit of, say, sixty years, will give you time to accomplish some goals while having a fulfilling life while utterly beautiful to the rest of the world. Just try not to make anyother deals that might negate the first one. Best to try and get what you want the first time and leave this alone.
Is it worth it? Depends on what you want and how you ask for it. Don’t be an idiot and it could be worthwhile. Act like a fool, you’re asking for trouble.
Ack! Noticed a typo. It should say “not make a deal that isn’t in their favor”.
Why would I want to sell my soul? I voluntarily devote it to the Gods.
I’d give my soul to Lucifer my dark lord and Lilith my mistress of the night 🌃 to do their depraved bidding fucking little girls and boys
