black mass
A Black Mass is a ritual characterized by the inversion of the Traditional Latin Mass celebrated by the Roman Catholic Church.
The history of such rituals is unclear before the modern era. The Black Mass was allegedly celebrated during the Witches' Sabbath.〔Rhodes, H.T.F. ''The Satanic Mass'', Rider & Company, London, 1954, Citadel Press, USA, 1955.〕
The clarity of the celebration of the Black Mass in medieval times is imprecise; some sources referring to Black Masses during the medieval period appear to be lurid manuals that seem to have been written for witch-hunters in Latin, such as the ''Malleus Maleficarum'' (1486) and the ''Compendium Maleficarum'' (1608). There are arguments claiming that the Black Mass served solely as a shock method in order to accuse enemies for several reasons, but there also remain various sources claiming that it was practiced throughout Western history and currently in the modern era for the sole purpose of Satanic worship and sacrifice in ridicule of Christianity.
== Origins and history of the Black Mass ==
One recent outline of the history of the Black Mass can be found in Richard Cavendish, ''The Black Arts''〔Cavendish, Richard. ''The Black Arts'', 1967.〕 (1967) in the section on the Black Mass. Before that, an entire book was written about it, ''The Satanic Mass'',〔 by H.T.F. Rhodes (1954). Additionally, a detailed study was published in German (and since translated into English) by Gerhard Zacharias, ''The Dark God: Satan Worship and Black Masses''〔Zacharias, Gerhard. ''Der dunkle Gott: Satanskult und Schwarze Messe'', München, 1964.〕 (1964).
