Black Sabbath
<p>Welcome to the Myth & Metal podcast!</p><br><p>In this episode, we discuss the groundbreaking Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath. A heavy metal classic! The demonic encounter narrated in the song allows us to explore what demonic encounters looked like in some fourteenth-century Medieval literature. First, we discuss some encounters related in the autobiography of Abbott Guibert of Nogent. Then we move on to Nicholas Eymerich's inquisitor manual, Directorium Inquisitorium. </p><br><p>Listen to the song here: <a href="https://youtu.be/0lVdMbUx1_k?si=Nm_twawUunKsWCYm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/0lVdMbUx1_k?si=Nm_twawUunKsWCYm</a>.</p><br><p>Thank you for listening to the show.
