- NeedMoreTea 8y agoif you visit that page, don't go believing Wikipedia's first interpretation of "dark satanic mills". It is certainly the second - that the dark satanic mills were the churches. Blake was an extreme non-conformist who was against pretty much all organised religion of the time. Interesting that Blake's page on Wikipedia properly points this out, but the poem's page goes heavily into the conformist interpretation of the poem that would have Blake spinning in his grave, then rather downplays the other.
