Please never again use the terms "pagan" and "black sabbath" in the same sentence, unless you are, as I am now, pointing out that pagans, those who were labeled that (which means "redneck", "people of the land") by urbanites with wealth, were not of a specific religion and that black sabbaths are a perversion specifically of christianity, not what is today called "paganism". That pagan religious impulse is NOT christian, but very much pre-christian and wider-than-christian and will probably be post-christian. But it has no interest in internal christian doctrinal differences and quaint heresies. Especially stupid stuff like celebrating a church mass turned backwards. Whatever that means...
