To my stubbornness and arrogance to believe in a God, Deity or The Soul has always kept me at an arm length of Religion. However, the unfortunate turns of events that transpired make me question my Philosophy and Metaphysics view on the subject matter.
So, it was an average boys night in beer, games and bbq, we were relaxing and then as usually guys get into the dating talk. One of my friends said "Man I need to start dating again etc", so me being the joker of the pack looked at him and said "This could be arranged at the price of one's soul". My other friend spat beer out of his mouth and started laughing, while jokingly saying "Come on if that were possible you'd have to be a Demon, in cahoots with a Demon or the Anti-Christ".
So, I shrugged and said in a jokingly diabolical voice "What if I am?" and then I looked towards my friend, and looked him in the eyes and said "If you take my hand you will forfeit your soul to me, a contract bound by blood that can not be broken. In return you will date at a Clooney like pace and women will lust for you". While trying to keep a serious face and trying not to lose my composure due to the laughter of my other two friends, I extended my hand towards my friend.
Now, when he took my hand and said "I accept these terms" I noticed something odd in the right side of my field of vision, I saw a Crow land to the right of us onto the lawn and began screech it almost sounded like a screech 3 times. Don't get me wrong it kind of scared the hell out of me, but I think it was attracted to the BBQ. However, could it also be possible that the Raven was part of this pact?
So, a week later believe it or not my friend began to date at a Clooney like pace and as the childish youth these days say "Score" multiple times at parties. It seems that I am now the proud owner of one soul, that is if theoretically souls actually exist.
After researching some information apparently in several religions, myths and supernatural circles Ravens and Crows are seen as Djiin, Demons and Shaman like beings etc.
I actually wonder what should I do now? Should I be buying more souls? If a Soul is real what does this mean for me since I now own another one?

You probably own nothing.. And your friend probably just got serious about dating again.
Maybe the whole 'sold my soul' thing was the motivation he needed?
God I need some of that motivation...
Would you like to be the proud owner of a mint condition, hardly used 1992 soul?

Guys and drinking: will it never end! The boasting and bragging. I can't believe a guy would give up his soul to get some dates. That's pretty bad desperation. Maybe you left off the part the women he dates have to be of Clooney's ability to attract perfect beauty, grace and intelligence. Okay, that's hard to find, especially depending on the guy and his attractiveness. So, in retrospect, if he's that "desperate" "wink" wink" it's probably worth it to him.

Very well!
What is it you wish for? Fame? Money? Women? Just Motivation? Specifics are key remember you don't want to be screwed over on a deal like this.

Nice Post, and i must say a very interesting read.
I would probably add Egregore to that list though.
I myself, don't believe in spirits and souls, only here in this subliminal reality. and since i'm stuck here until that time, i try to understand it and learn from it, thus knowing in the end, it will cease like the wind on a after a storm. It's all good in the end.
what i wish for isn't fame fortune or money. It's a way out of this insane asylum we call Earth.

Basically, you are saying the guy's really horny. I've known too many of those who promise you anything for a night of "fun" then forget your name. (not personally of course!) But a soul could be a very valuable commodity, say, to find yourself the perfect woman; but be careful what you ask for; remember Helen of Troy.

souls are not ours to buy and sell. kind of like land.
the willingness to give up a soul can have a strong effect on ones psyche.
as far as procuring souls. you still only have the one that was given to.
all you did was create a construct that allowed someone to forsake the greatest gift ever given.
and that my friend is bad juju.
i suggest never doing it again

Souls are real. Have another get together and celebrate giving his soul back to him, seriously. A prayer would be nice.

If one is willing to forsaken such a beautiful gift, if indeed souls are as real as you say just for some lust. Then the real question should be - Are they worthy of keeping or even receiving such a gift?
