    Arkona

    I came across Arkona, a Russian pagan metal band quite by accident while looking up material on Novodevichy Convent for a poem I was writing.

    Satanism, Paganism, Atheism, Christianity

    I have been doing some research online on different religions. I started off trying to entertain myself by looking up anything I can find on the beliefs of Satanism and Wiccanism. I expected to find a whole mess of stuff that I thought would be interesting such as what science goes behind...
