The Pact with the Devil
A Livestream Class with Humberto Maggi
at in The Arcane Chamber
Join Humberto Maggi as you delve into the origins, theology, and magical significance of the Pact with the Devil—one of Christianity’s most enduring and misunderstood ideas.
The concept of the Pact with the Devil is one of the most popular ideas in Christianity, but it has ancient roots and reinterpreted magical and theurgical practices current in the culture of late Antiquity.
This lecture will analyze the Pagan origins and early Christian narratives of the Pact and its historical developments, from the legends of Saint Cyprian to the Quimbanda of today.
It will also cover the most important theologians who helped develop the concept of the Pact, such as Augustine of Hippo and Saint Thomas Aquinas; Iberian sorcery; and the invocation of Mephistopheles by Faust.
