Winkelbury Camp is an Iron Age hill fort in Wiltshire, England. According to
legend, if you march around it at midnight cursing all the time you can summon
the Devil who will appear on a black horse and grant one wish. Of course,
that's a foolish superstition. In the first place you cannot summon Satan to
come to you. In the second place you need not summon Satan to come to you, for
he is always near. Most importantly, Satan never gives, he only takes. The
superstitions that surround Satan should not lead us to suppose that all is
superstition. We know only a little about the Devil. The doctrine of evil is
not fully developed in Scripture. We do know this; temptation is always around
us and always to be resisted.
