Stealing Souls, Satan can do it..can we? Options

I am curious, not because I am a satanist but because I really would want to do this. I always here of people (usually satanists) selling their souls or making a pact with a demon or something but is it possible for another human to infact give away their soul to another? My reasons for wanting to know your opinion are quite private but I just am wondering what you think.

In terms of karma, let's discard the adjectives good and evil and instead consider it as a matter of balance. All actions, even inaction, change our energetic balance in some way. Magicians seeking balance must be aware of the ramifications of actions in order to equilibrate themselves. Magicians who don't give a fig about equilibration, must still be aware of their personal imbalances in order to not have them affect their workings. However you view the final goal of life, your balance will affect it.

If you believe in reincarnation, as I do, it is necessary to establish goals over multiple lifetimes in order to establish certain complex balances. The differing perspectives of the different material situations you incarnate in allows a triangularization of sorts on a particular energetic issue. Karma, accrued imbalances, are one of the issues addressed this way.

In terms of soul stealing and giving, I think the stealing is more common. Entities from lower planes routinely gain flesh by instilling themselves in infants or other person's with a weak hold. Cases of obsession and possession are frequent occurrences in magical circles particularly when inadequate shielding is used. The new possessor of the body must overcome the strength and balance of the original owner in order to hold the body. Sometimes the attacker finds that it has bitten off more than it can chew. Sometimes not.

I agree that generally, a soul is not entirely consumed by this process. Usually the entities sharing flesh become one incorporating their qualities. By incorporating another's essence into yours, you also acquire their imbalances and obligations. This is another balance issue.

My question is why would you want anyone's soul? I find that the upkeep on one requires tremendous effort.
