Sell your Soul to the Devil? How very “1669” of you.

Hollywood, Monothestic religions and even some Polytheistic faiths have turned the idea of “The Pact” into something evil and dark while making oaths over a fire. This class will explore the difference between a Pact and an Oath. Where do pacts come from, how to write them, and what to do if you get in too deep and cannot fulfill your promise.

Registration cost: $25.00.
