went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride....
I got it!! I know what happened to Wendy McCaw.. I've been puzzling over this for a while and now it is clear: she sold her soul to the devil!! she sold it to make herself rich with easy money... but there are conditions when you make a deal with the devil...things you didn't think of when you signed up...Wendy's deal went down and now we see what she has become, we see what happens when the devil wants his due...we see Wendy..a girl whose riches have made her poor, a girl who can't talk, a girl whose night is day and whose day is night, a girl who wears big sunglasses, a girl who's stuck with a guy called Nipper..so let this be a lesson to all of us..if you sell your soul then you can't dance to Soul Man by Sam and Dave!!!
and remember Wendy..A new broom sweeps clean
Robert Johnson
"Lord, I’m goin’ to Rosedale," he wails, "gon’ take my rider by my side."
He was living on the plantation when his desire to become a great blues musician came about. Someone told him to take his guitar to the Crossroads at midnight near Dockery Plantation. When he arrived, the devil was waiting and took his guitar from him. The devil tuned the guitar and played a few songs on it. Once he handed it back to Robert, the pact was made and he was able to sing, play and create the blues. Robert Johnson’s death is also surrounded by mystery. He died in 1938, falling ill after playing a party and dying four days later. Some people said that Robert’s deal with the devil came due and as evidence gave the fact that they had seen him on all fours, howling at the moon the night he died.
Johann Georg Faust
Johann Georg Faust was a German alchemist. In 1507, it was said that he was a con man and a drifter that would prey on the gullible. He was said to have molested several boys in Kreuznach. In 1509, he obtained a degree in divinity. At the University of Krakow, he studied magic and befriended Martin Luther and Philip Melachton. These two men were said to have witnessed Johann’s pact with the devil. He worked at the University of Ehrfut, where it was said that he was lecturing on Homer and conjured up his heroes for the students. He was soon asked to resign and offered repentance. It was then that he admitted to having the pact with the devil. He told Dr. Klinge, a Franciscan monk, that he trusted the devil more than he did God.
Urbain Grandier
Urbain Grandier was a French Catholic priest. He was burned at the stake for committing the crime of witchcraft. He was known for breaking his vow of celibacy and becoming a philanderer. In 1603, a few nuns accused him of bewitching them and sending a demon to commit unspeakable acts with them. According to the legend, his pact stated his allegiance to the devil and is renunciation of the Christian faith. In turn, it was promise to Grandier that he would have the love of women, wealth, and worldly honor. This pact was written backwards and in Latin and it is still available to be seen at Bibliotheque Nationale in France.
Those who don't learn from history, are destined to repeat it...
