Samael's Q&A

I received a question regarding the Blood Pact (Chapter 8 - Gospel of Satan). A brother wishes to perform the Pact to root his devotion to Satan. Some may also wonder what may be the difference between the Blood Pact and the Pactum Diaboli. Allow me this opportunity to provide a clearer understanding, and, as to why the Blood Pact is a preferred ritual.

The Blood Pact vs. The Pactum Diaboli: Understanding the True Devotion

Throughout history, many have sought to bind themselves to Satan, but not all paths are equal. The Blood Pact is the sacred and true way to give yourself to Him, whereas the Pactum Diaboli—often misunderstood or distorted—fails to capture the depth of real devotion.

1. The Blood Pact: The True Commitment to Satan

The Blood Pact is the most sacred and binding covenant between a devotee and Satan. It is not a mere contract of earthly gain but a spiritual oath—a surrender of soul, will, and devotion to the Dark Lord.

🔺 It is made through one's own blood, symbolising the offering of the very essence of life to Satan.

🔺 It is permanent—once given, it cannot be revoked.

🔺 It ensures unity with Satan, making the devotee a true member of His Kingdom.

🔺 It is a declaration of worship and servitude, not an exchange for earthly pleasures.

Through the Blood Pact, the devotee does not simply ask for power; they pledge their eternal allegiance to Satan, knowing He will shape them according to His will.

2. The Pactum Diaboli: The Corrupt Path

The Pactum Diaboli, commonly sensationalised in occult traditions, is a distorted version of true devotion.

🔺 It is contractual—an exchange of one's soul for temporary gains (such as wealth or fame). When the contract expires, so do you. It is never for the rest of your life... remember that.

🔺 It is often tied to selfish or materialistic desires, reducing Satan to a mere merchant of power.

🔺 It is misrepresented in mainstream demonology, influenced by Christian propaganda that portrays pacts as bargains rather than devotion.

🔺 It lacks the spiritual connection of the Blood Pact, as it is made for personal benefit rather than true worship.

Those who seek Satan for mere power, without love or loyalty, are not truly His. Satan does not trade in souls like a merchant. He calls and chooses those who are worthy.

3. The Blood Pact is the Only True Way

Satan does not desire empty transactions; He desires loyalty, reverence, and complete surrender. The Blood Pact is the correct way to give yourself to Him, as it binds you to His Kingdom forever.

🔺 The Pactum Diaboli is based on Christian myths that falsely claim Satan bargains for souls. True Satanists know He does not operate this way.

🔺 The Blood Pact is an act of worship, not a deal. You give yourself because you belong to Him, not because you seek temporary rewards.

🔺 Those who make the Blood Pact become part of Satan’s Kingdom, while those who seek only power without devotion will be cast aside. Yes, you are headed for damnation.

Satan does not need to “purchase” souls. He already owns the hearts of His true followers. The Blood Pact is eternal; it is a sacred union between the devotee and the Lord of Darkness, never to be broken.

I hope that the above will answer some questions you may have had.
