(T) we ride upon stickes and are there presently (H) doe you goe through the trees or over them (T) we see no thing but are there presently
Magical travel or teleportation, typical in witchcraft lore. Shows Tituba shaping her story to meet the interrogators’ expectations.
(T) two cats a red cat and a black cat (H) what did they say to you (T) they said serve me
Animals acting as familiars reinforce the expectation that witches had helpers. Again, likely emphasized by Tituba to fit the narrative expected of her.
sometimes it is like a hog and some times like a great dog
Shape-shifting apparitions reflect Puritan ideas of familiars and evil spirits. Suggests how imagination and fear were intertwined.
the devil came to me and bid me serve him

"“Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus, omnis satanica potestas, omnis incursio infernalis adversarii, omnis legio, omnis congregatio et secta diabolica. Ergo, omnis legio diabolica, adiuramus te…cessa decipere humanas creaturas, eisque æternæ perditionìs venenum propinare…Vade, satana, inventor et magister omnis fallaciæ, hostis humanæ salutis…Humiliare sub potenti manu Dei; contremisce et effuge, invocato a nobis sancto et terribili nomine…quem inferi tremunt…Ab insidiis diaboli, libera nos, Domine. Ut Ecclesiam tuam secura tibi facias libertate servire, te rogamus, audi nos."
The Latin incantation to exorcise demons in Supernatural is real. And it sounds cool like Chris Aldrich.
Lucifer is such an amazing character in this show, especially portrayed by Mark Pellegrino

I love that Death is so Stoic and calm even in the presence of "almighty" Godstiel.
Death is one of my favorite characters in the show.

Death called Lucifer (satan) a "Bratty child having a tantrum"

Epic entrances.
Great song in Supernatural...
Fun trivia: The actor's reactions are genuine as Sam and Dean (well, the actors) had not heard the song beforehand.
Although not in this scene; earlier in the episode.

Many religious and mystical traditions see religious experiences (particularly the knowledge which comes with them) as revelations caused by divine agency rather than ordinary natural processes. They are considered real encounters with God or gods, or real contact with higher-order realities of which humans are not ordinarily aware.[5
Religious experience as a revelation. As coming into contact with god(s) or other supernatural beings.
purpose as not my purpose, what does the greater purpose want (power of now written through Eckhart) "what does god/life want from me, rather than what do I want from life" (finding place in the whole)
The invisible hand is a metaphor used by the Scottish moral philosopher Adam Smith that describes the inducement a merchant has to keep his capital, thereby increasing the domestic capital stock and enhancing military power, both of which are in the public interest and neither of which he intended.[1]
