“Pacts with the devil”? Unfortunately those “devils” are human. It’s about who you know. I don’t personally think you want to know those people, it gets allegedly criminal, (not saying more than than that because politics rule) but imo not worth your integrity. This is not the way to happiness.
No, there’s no such thing as “selling your soul”, this is folklore.
What you can do as you can see from the thread here is work with entities on your goals and to bring opportunities. What you do with the opportunities is up to you.
I would suggest focusing on “wealth” not just money. The concept of wealth covers money, sex, wellbeing, environment, friends and family - go for “healthy, wealthy and wise” - all of it.
Or you need a good pact you cannot just ask once. I suppose the energy and well effort you put into it, equates to
No a pact is not about having anything done FOR you - it’s a joint effort, so yes, you get out what you put in. It’s no good getting an opportunity if you waste it. They cannot control your level of effort, productivity, action or reaction - you bring that.
I would say make as many pacts as it needs - different entities bring different energies that can work together better than alone.
For example, I have 5 pacts right now: You can see my basic values through these:
Belial - to never bend the knee, for freedom and self reliance
Lucifuge Rofocale - the BALG pact done by E.A. as a professional ritual to “be the best that I can be”.
Azazel - to gain full capacity of my human potential for psychic ability
Ant’harratu - to develop my “Empire” and professional life to the fullest
Clauneck - for foundational wealth and preservation of gains
