The form generally taken by the devil when a new member was to be admitted was that of a man with a dark and sad face; and one that was black and ugly. ...His head was crowned with a horned headpiece...The creatures eyes were large and terrible, being round rather than oval; the beard resembled that of a goat. The lower extremities were animal like; and although the feet and hands were human, the extremities of the fingers were curved and taloned, and his toes ended in claws like those of a bird. His voice was like that of a donkey, erratic and low and his words badly spoken. The quote and the image are both from the Pyrenees (although one is French and the other Spanish) and are separated by roughly 15,000 years. Makes you wonder how long certain traditions survived.
