After reading the other thread, by Lajmar, called 'Dirty work at the Crossroads' (http://mysticwicks.com/showthread.php?t=194121), I'm interested in something else, related to the magic at the Crossroads (BTW, I wasn't sure if this would fit in Lajmar's thread, but if you want to merge them, please feel free :)). Does anyone know anything about Pacts at the Crossroads, I only know some very limited info about them, and I'm not sure if it's right, like, I know, some people have been said to make pacts with the Devil, or demons, or other supernatural beings/spirits, etc, in order to get something, like material wealth, love, a talent, fame, etc. Like, apparantly, the Jazz musician Robert Johnson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Johnson_(musician)) made a deal, to get his musical talent or something (anyone know any different?, there seems to be a lot of info on the internet about it (http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=Robert+Johnson+and+deal+with+the+Devil&btnG=Search&meta=),here (http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=Jazz+musicians+and+Deal+with+the+Devil&meta=), and I think this article says something about it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deal_with_the_Devil)).
One book I really want to get soon is 'Pacts With the Devil: A Chronicle of Sex, Blasphemy and Liberation' by S. Jason Black and Christopher S Hyatt (http://www.amazon.com/Pacts-Devil-Chronicle-Blasphemy-Liberation/dp/1561840580) (Christopher Hyatt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Hyatt), unfortunely, died recently in February 2008, here's his official site (http://www.technoccult.com/archives/2004/05/10/the-official-site-of-dr-christopher-s-hyatt-phd/) and here's a link with other articles, books by him and others, and other things, etc (http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=Christopher+S.+Hyatt+&meta=)). Hopefully, I might be able to get it soon, along with a few other books I want, so, if you've read it, what did you think (and would you recommend it?).
Anyway, I'd really like to learn more about Pacts at the Crossroads, and, it would be great if you wouldn't mind sharing any experiences you've had with them (but only if you're comfortable with sharing).
Thanks, again, for any help you can give me :).
