Devil's Mark

'A name given by demonologists and medieval witch-hunters to a scar, blemish, or mark on the skin said to be imprinted by the devil as a seal of his possession of the person.

'The finding of such marks became an important buisness of the expert pricking that took place at many witch persecutions. Devil's marks were said to be insensitive to pain and pricking pins into such areas was supposed to draw no blood.'

-The Element Encyclopedia of the Psychic World
