'''[[Christoph Haizmann]]''' (1647 - 1700) was a Bavarian painter active in Austria. He is remembered for signing a [[diabolical pact]] with [[Satan]] and the subsequent [[exorcist|exorcism]] to free him from the pact.
'''[[Quimbanda]]''' is an [[African diaspora religion|Afro-Brazilian religion]] practiced primarily in the urban city centers of Brazil. The religion borrowed many aspects of other traditions, especially [[Umbanda]] and [[Candomblé]]. Quimbanda's practices are often focused on worldly success regarding money and sex. The religion shares much of the philosophy of [[LaVeyan Satanism]], although it is more focused on the invocation of spirits.


On September 24th, 1668, [[the Devil]] drew near and asked Christoph why he was so upset and sad. Christoph answered that he missed his father, and there was no one else in this world to care for him. The Devil promised “to help in every way and to lend a hand.” He then transformed into his true form, that of a ferocious scaled dragon with the face of a human.


Showing Christoph his true form and swearing to assume the role of his deceased father was enough to finally convince the despondent man to sign a [[diabolical pact]]. Christoph wrote the pact in black ink in his native German language. It was short and simple: “I Christoph Haizmann, am writing to this Gentleman (the Devil) to be his son for the next nine years.”
