Guanajuato, Gto., December 2, 2015.- The topic of "the Devil" and how Spanish indigenous people, creoles, half-bloods, and black people in New Spain conceived this, was exposed by the Ph.D.in History, Javier Ayala Calderón at the multiple use classroom of "The Necromancer".

The conference took place within the "Cycle of Talks in Cities 2015" (Ciclo de Charlas en Municipios) under the name "New-Spanish imaginary, religious and stratified division", hosted by the Division of Social Sciences and Humanities, Campus Guanajuato through their Department of History in San Miguel de Allende and the Cultural Center "Ignacio Ramírez "El Nigromante"" (The necromancer).

The conference based in historic studies from the imaginary religious in the New Spain and specifically talked about the topic "the Devil" and its conception among the population.

Dr. Ayala Calderón remarked that this entity was conceived in many ways, but the perception depended in the social and economic status from believers, who also changed from a century to another.

People with a high social status had more "respect" for the devil than those with a low social status, who saw it very familiar, even made pacts with him and then easily broke them, the professor observed.

Dr. Ayala referred to a relevant historical case, the case of collective hysteria in the city of Queretaro, in which some women believed in being "possessed", even affirming that the devil "impregnated" them, case that was taken to the Inquisition and ended with an order of silence.
