Online Reference For Body, Mind & Spirit

Term: Devil's Mark

DEFINITION:
According to Christian belief, if a woman sold her soul to the Devil, the Devil would kiss the woman in some place on her body. This place, often marked by a scar, mole, blemish, etc., would be insensitive to pain and would not bleed when pricked or punctured. This resulted in the practice of “Witchfinders” using a pointed, awl-like tool (see bodkin) to prod a woman’s body in order to determine if she was a Witch.
