Robert Johnson and the Crossroads Pact: Biography, Hoodoo, and the Legend That Refused to Die
The entity at the crossroads is almost certainly a syncretized version of Legba — the Vodun orisha of thresholds, roads, and communication between worlds. Legba is not evil. He is liminal.

Your god of thresholds is our devil. Your ritual is a pact with evil. Your spiritual life is evidence of damnation. By the time Robert Johnson stood at his crossroads, the entity he was invoking had two faces — and neither could be entirely separated from the other.
