Mirrors are, of course, a representation of the sin of vanity - and where people are sinning, the Devil is never far behind.

Many technological innovations were originally introduced by the Devil. Water mills are just one example among many.

While most commonly portrayed as male, the Devil is actually genderfluid.

Or at least, he makes for a very convincing drag queen.

It is unwise to speak out of turn when summoning the Devil.

It is even less wise to ask the wrong question at the wrong time.

The Boy with the Red Jacket: From Lower Bavaria: During the Lessel night, a man and his boy went to the crossroads. He did not want to take the boy with him, but finally he relented to his son’s pleas. The boy was wearing a red jacket. When they arrived at the crossroads, the man used chalk to draw three circles around himself and his son. Suddenly, a gallows stood before them. The boy asked: “For whom is that?” “For the one with the red jacket!” was the reply, and the boy was gone. After the man had done his incantations, the Devil appeared and asked what he wanted. “What you have taken from me”, said the man. The Devil did not want to, but when the man insisted on his demand, he threw the corpse of the man’s son into the circle. Source: Panzer, F. Bayerische Sagen und Bräuche.

Just like priests, the Devil also wants the dying to confess their sins - if for rather different reasons.
