Looking at those Demon sigils I'm wondering if any of them match Crop Circle patterns, at a quick glance they look pretty similar.

I thought they resembled hockey playbooks.

They may or may not have been deliberately designed as apophenia targets. That is in any case what they are.

In Catholicism and some Protestant traditions, you will enter into a state of Purgatory, (or purgatory-like phase) after death where you are cleansed of sins. This could potentially take a while.

This should be written in the devil contract, like how long do I need to stay in purgatory...

Research demonology: have computers casting summons over fractal fragments looking for any whose phone numbers we don't already know. cf the works of Charlie Stross Perhaps that pokemon game had more in it than we thought...

Please explain? Are you talking about dwave?

Maybe… or The Atrocity Archives, or something from the laundry files… something along those lines perhaps.

Edit: somebody scooped me

Notes for those planning to sell your soul online: eBay specifically prohibits such transactions. [1] Compared to some online bans, the reasoning is pleasingly coherent. eBay does not allow the auctioning of human souls for the following reasons: If the soul does not exist, eBay could not allow the auctioning of the soul because there would be nothing to sell. However, if the soul does exist then, in accordance with…

If it were a financial market, one could perhaps sell the option to buy a soul pending resolution of the matter.

Why would learning stuff require a deal with the devil? Two of the listed demons are described pretty much as what a scientist is. If you find a proof of P != NP or the Riemann hypothesis, why would that be as bad as using the Death Note book?

The demons are just trying to satisfy the marketplace. They provide whatever will sell.

I don't buy a lot of books on demonology, but when I do, I try to buy from the most successful author. Edit: If you're actually "interested" (definition to personal taste), plug for Stjepan Sejic's upcoming Fine Print series https://imagecomics.com/comics/releases/fine-print-vol-1-ogn... (No relation to disclose, just a fan of his work)

Naturally, this must be read in the voice of the Dos XX guy

Please please please for God's sake stay away from this stuff. It will steal your mind and your soul. This isn't something one can innocently dabble with. Turn to God instead, He will hear you. // Catholic ex-occultist

ok, cool, now i want to try, thank you!

Hey deadalus, quick question here: how does all of this compare to Luciferianism and left-hand path kind of stuff? I started reading some of the latter, but I found them to be so ridden with grammar errors that I wish Satan were an English teacher. Perhaps the most decent book I found was Anton LaVey's The Satanic Bible, but so far I am finding it too down-to-earth to quench my thirst for the exotic.

By the way, do you have an English translation for the Liber Azerate? I have the original in Swedish, but I have not learned Swedish yet.
