WITCHCRAFT - DEVIL AND WITCHES - BOOK OF DEATH [Top] The Devil places his mark on the body of his witches, as indication of their servitude to him, in that they are branded like animals. On men, the brand is often placed on the eyelids, or lips, or posterior: whereas women are branded on their breasts, or private parts. The tenth requirement of the Pact made between witches and their master, the Devil. This picture is also used to depict the Devil scratching from the forehead of his witch the baptismal chrism, prior to baptism in the name of the Devil. [Bottom] The witches worship the Devil as their god, and promise never to adore the Blessed Sacraments. Among this diabolic congregation are a number of demons.
