I remember reading somewhere that "Pagan wedding ceremonies" were still
taking place in Orkney in the late 19th century, and that a bishop was sent
there to stop it. If you equate paganism=superstition, it is still evident
today in, for example, modern wedding ceremonies. Your comment that it moved
from rural poor to urban poor may be an observation of the conditions of
inner cities, which, although densly populated, give rise to persons who
feel isolated, as though living in remote areas.
