denial of the lord and the subsequent pact with the devil constitutes a psychological mechanism by which a suffering party under the influence of unbearable pain decides to renegotiate the value structure of reality so as to morally allow said subject to obtain psychological stability again.

the woman who goes into the woods after losing her child to make a pact with ancient powers does so because the judging eyes of priest and congregation do not allow for healing under the implicit tyranny of the idea that everything bad happening to you is a result of your sinfulness.

if you think about it it makes witch trials so much more horrible.
