Show Notes
In part two of our adventure with Peter Ackroyd’s HAWKSMOOR, we finish our circuit of Nicholas Hawksmoor’s churches, completing a sigil on the face of London which, according to Tim’s design, will force Lloyd to reveal his real Satanic nature. We also discover the likely location for the fictional church of St Hugh’s, which now holds the dark evils of high international finance. We discuss Iain Sinclair and psychogeography, and the history of Satanism. We finish at St Alfege’s in Greenwich, where a black cat crosses our path and demons, disappointingly, fail to be summoned!
