-A '''[[diabolical pact]]''' is a cultural motif exemplified by the legend of [[Johann Georg Faust]] and the [[demon]] Mephistopheles, as well as being elemental to many [[Christianity|Christian]] traditions. Pacts with [[the Devil]] were a feature of early Christian [[witch-hunt]]s. [[Inquisition|Inquisitors]] often accused suspected [[witch]]es of making a pact, promising they will kill children or consecrate them to the Devil at the moment of birth (many midwives were accused of this, due to the number of children who died at birth in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance), take part in Witches' Sabbaths, have sexual relations with demons, and sometimes engender children from a succubus, or an incubus in the case of women. In the [[Bible]], [[Jesus Christ|Jesus]] is offered a series of bargains by the Devil.
+'''[[Archangel Uriel]]''' is one of the [[archangels]] prominently mentioned in the post-exilic rabbinic tradition and in certain [[Christianity|Christian]] traditions. He is well known in the Russian Orthodox tradition and in folk Catholicism (in both of which he is considered to be one of the seven major archangels) and recognized in the Anglican Church as the fourth archangel. In the [[hierarchy of angels]], Uriel does not rule over one of the 9 choirs, but is the prince of the triplicity of Innocents, Martyrs, and Confessors. It was Uriel who checked the doors of Egypt for lamb's blood during the plague. He also holds the key to the Pit during the End Times, and led Abraham to the west
