It is by means of a particular covenant they hold with the devils that they are empowered to feed their dark spiritual knowledge to those they own by genealogy or by covenant. It is also the only source of spiritual retrieval they have for preternatural knowledge and information. Familiar spirits possess their vessels, which are the people who received their occultic gifts and exercised them for Satan’s benefit, often from the womb.
