What’s the difference between a Pact and a deal?
A pact is basically a long term contract, you’ll give something to a demon (keep in mind that it’s not just demons that can make pacts or deals!) And in return they’ll offer their guidance/wisdom/energy to help you over a period of time.
A deal is short term contract, you’ll give them something and in return they’ll help you. It holds the same principal of a pact, but it’s not as permanent and binding.
Here’s a small list of things that is shown in media concerning pacts and deals that can made with demon’s, that you should never offer them. Let’s start this off by saying that, not all demon’s are evil. Human souls have no inherit value. And, depending on how high up the Infernal Heiarchey you go, the chances that they have better things to do than to fuck with you; rises exponentially.
Now, I’m not saying that there isn’t a chance that they won’t fuck with you, but so long as you invoke them in the correct way and use your manners. I say invoke, because envokation is actually pretty rude in their eyes. Here’s a list of things that you SHOULD offer them in exchange for their services:
Blood (Yours, or a consenting 3rd party)
Energy (Energy from anything; ex: You invoke Lucifer, he shows up. Makes a pact with you that for a certain amount of time he’ll help you gain more knowledge of everything occult, I exchange for a drawing done in his name every few weeks.) I feel also that I should specify, that they will happily accept any sex magick/sexual energy that you offer them.
Food Offerings (Ask them what they like and what they don’t like!)
The possibilities are endless!
Here’s a list of things that you should never offer a demon, because they will accept whatever it is that is offered to them. Remember what I said about human souls, and them not having an inherit value? Good, keep that in mind when I say that if you offer your soul, they will accept it. What that means for you, is that after you die you’ll become that demons slave for all of eternity.
Time (Don’t offer them 7 years of your life! Time is a precious thing that should never be bargined with!)
First Born (I hope that this doesn’t have to be listed, but I know better than that. If you offer a demon, say, Belial for example; your first born child. He will accept it! And he will collect! They all will. NEVER bargin with another’s life.)
Souls (Unless your goal is to be Andras’s enternal slave, this is highly, HIGHLY discouraged. Just don’t do it.) Also! Don’t offer other people’s souls! That makes you look like a massive dick!
Also, if you’ve never made a pact before I’d recommend invoking Mephistopheles he’s a demon of pacts. He’ll serve, essentially, as your lawyer. Make sure that you won’t be taken advantage of, and that it’ll all be an equal trade.
Another thing, and I CANNOT stress this enough. Never, under any circumstances leave the pact or deal open. I learned this the hard way, they WILL take advantage of it.
Make sure you have a way to get out of it, either by setting a day when it ends or by making loopholes that you can use to terminate the pact in a respectful way (ex; You make a pact with Lucifer, but specify that it ends in 30 days. After those 30 days, your pact ends.) IF YOU DO NOT SPECIFY THIS THE PACT WILL NEVER END. You will continue to get their help sure, but you won’t have a way out. (Admittedly, I’m also guilty of this.)
I have a few pacts with Belial that I never specified a time limit for, that I can never back out of. I don’t mind with him because I trust him compeley, but I know there’s people out there who don’t have that luxury. The words ’pacts’ and ’deals’ makes this sound temporary, and that even if you don’t specify, you’ll be able to get out of it. That is NOT the case!
These are more like lasting contracts, once you’re in it. That’s it. You’re in it and you have no choice but to ride it out.
