Sure seems suspicious how much
Nicholas Rémy knew about Satan's tactics to gain follows.
On page 323, Rémy identifies three methods the devil uses to
convince people into following him. The three methods are: persuasion, allurements, and temptation. Satan
could try to pursue you by offering hope (Kors and Peters 323). Though if hope does not work,
his fall back plan is to scare you with threats (Kors and Peters 324). He could also allure
someone with the promise of riches (323). The last method Rémy mentions
is temptation. Satan could tempt individuals by showing the means to avenge
themselves (Kors and Peters 323).
I found it very interesting that Rémy identifies Satan as a murderer
then proceeds to say that all his followers are given powers
and implements to follow in his footsteps and become murderers
themselves (Kors and Peters 324). Why would Satan give witches powder to heal the sick then
(Kors and Peters 325)? It does not make sense to me that Satan would allow witches to heal
people if he is trying to turn his followers into murderers.

One thing is clear, Satan does not want to loose followers. On page
325, three witches attest that Satan did not lie about the powers of the
powders. Rémy also included that Satan told witches that they do not have
ultimate power over humans (Kors and Peters 326). Satan did not need to tell the witches this
information, yet he did. Maybe underneath his cold heart he cared a
little. He granted every wish and kept to his promises (Kors and Peters 168)
Why do you find it interesting that Rémy identifies Satan as a murderer?
