Going by many names the Free Spirit known as the “Devil of the Crossroads” (also known as “The Muse”, “The Spirit of Music” and “The Conductor” ) is on of the first Spirits of record to appear during the Sixth World. The first recorded appearances were during the early 19th century in the New Orleans area of what is now the CAS, appearing only at midnight at certain deserted crossroads to early Blues musicians. Tales of “selling their souls” to the Devil started to spread in the Blues community and several prominent musicians of the time had claimed to have interacted with him. Others claimed that they had been challenged to a music duel against him with the winner getting instruments made of gold, silver and other precious metals. After the Awakening some of the mystique of the Spirit has worn off (No longer considered to be THE Devil), but many desperate performers still seek him out in the hopes that he can teach them how to play.
