Satan only wants your soul for God.
In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.
The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of Gods plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.
Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.
Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.
Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It’s meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

Most Pagans, Satanists and other esoteric or occult religions will tell you this is not possible. Sorry, but it simply cannot be done.
Christians will tell you that by not following God, you will automatically sell your soul to Satan. The problem is, the wish you get is simple what happens in day-to-day life if you don't follow Christianity - you get a lay-in on a Sunday morning, you can have all the good-time and filthy pre-marital, homosexual sex you want, you can be a drunk and a liar and a theif etc etc etc. You don't have to honor your mother and father and you don't have to look to a book for your ultimate guidance on everything. i've never met a Christian who believs that you can sell your soul to Satan in exchange for a wish of your choice.
It's also worth noting that Satanists - the people who seem to have started the rumours about selling your soul to Satan - actually don't believe in Satan at all! They don't believe in any powerful being like him - they simply use his name as a figurehead for their religion to describe how they rebel against the norm.

First, satan already has it as it sure appears that you do not belong to Christ. Jesus said that until we trust Him, we are dead in our trespasses and sin.
Second, satan will make this "deal" with you but I have never known satan to keep his end of the bargain. Even if he did, ALL sin cost more then we can afford and it always cost others then the one doing it.
I have talked to several who sold their soul to the satan...and there is good news...the Blood of Jesus Christ can cancel any contract we make with satan.
The bad news however, is that most who do will not seek Jesus for help and they die in their sin. Oh you may well get what you want, but it will last what...50 or 60 years at most. Then you will pay the price for eternity. Regardless of what you get for your soul, it will never be worth it.

I have a better idea. Instead of selling, receive a free gift!!
Romans 5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the FREE GIFT. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

Satan is a liar and the father of all lies. So why would you want to sell your soul to a liar who promises what he will not deliver? It is a fools request! If you want power...blessings...that will not bring bondages, lies and deception... follow the creator, not his creation. Satan is Lucifer, a fallen angel. He does not have all power. He is not eternal. He does not have truth. He does not have all the resouces of heaven and earth at his disposal. Only God has those things. And He loves you besides...and wants to give you freely all things. You don't have to buy his love. Its a free gift. He promises "give and it shall be given" So give yourself to God, and He will give you all that you really desire.

He's probably taken it, why would you do this tho? I mean I can't imagine any wish or need or anything that would drive a person to do this!!! You've just committed yourself to a living death and even if you die in this state you are condemned to hell. If you don't believe in Heaven or hell you will find out it is very real. If it gets to much pray, pray for God to forgive you and save you from this choice!

No, I offered before, but no one showed up to help fascilitate the transaction, so I guess I'm off the hook, plus I didn't get my wish. I will keep an eye on your question to see if someone has answers, but i doubt it.

The ritual is called pretending, it works with any fictional character.

You really wouldn't want to do that....and you cannot if you tried. Satan isn't interested in you. It appears he has a pretty good control over you. That being the case, why would he give you anything?

Well, if that what you want, before I grant your wish. Jesus loves you, He doesn't want you to burn in hell. He wants to give you everlasting life, happiness and freedom. But if you don't want what Jesus is giving you and you don't care about your life or soul, at fool moon at midnight called him. preferably fasting, but I warn you, is not the same to call him than see he come.
