HEYYOOOOOOO! This one was a lotta fun! I hope you guys enjoy listening to it as much as I did researching it and putting it together! In this episode, we're closing out the big, huge, and super crazy "Megalopolimancy" trilogy, with an intense exploration of some of the stranger theories behind the infamous Whitechapel murders and the historical phantom of London, "JACK THE RIPPER!" Specifically, we look into some of the lesser known occult explanations behind the murders, as well as some of the other "ritualistic" murders that were taking place at the same time, how the Whitechapel murders are connected to "The Nephilim" (yeah, there's actually something there), and one of the absolute most wacky ass, mindbending, 4th dimensional suspects for the true identity of "The Ripper"! ALL THIS AND MORE! IT'S A GODDAMN EXTRAVAGANZA! PLEASE TO ENJOY!

Sup you beautiful kooks! Have you ever wondered if there's more to the design and creation of the major cities we inhabit? Some underlying intelligence or lifeforce? Why is your city the way it is and who made it that way? This here's the first episode in a multi-part series covering everything it says in the title AND SO MUCH MORE! The first third of the episode is an introduction to some of the concepts and ideas we'll be exploring throughout the series and the rest gets knee deep and dirty into numerous REAL LIFE EXAMPLES! This episode explores such "megalopolimantic" concepts as:

Infernal Geometry & Architecture (the opposite of "sacred"!), Geomancy, Ley Lines/Dragon Lines, Psychogeography, "Black Streams", Vile Vortices, Egregores, Builder's Rites, City Wide Sigils & Mega Rituals, Psychetecture, Human Sacrifices, Stone Tape Theory/Residual Hauntings, Hauntology, The Panopticon & The Omnipresent All Seeing Evil Eye, PLUS SO MUCH MORE!

Then we take all of these concepts and go around the world to look at numerous real world applications of these practices! We look at Washington DC's Masonic Layout, Feng Shui Wars in Hong Kong, Secret Science Cities, The Parisian Post-Modern Necropolis, Various Haunted Modern Metropolitan Areas, and The Secret Techniques of Control Imposed Over Reality by the Powers That Be! PLUS: We examine our modern day ritualized cityscapes as potential physical bodies for egregores! & FOR FUCKS SAKE! IT'S NEARLY 3 HOURS OF CONTENT, SO NOW THAT MY BRAIN IS BROKEN FROM MAKING IT, I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE TO DO BUT SCREAM INTO THE AETHER THAT YOU LISTEN TO EVERY LAST GODDAMN DROP! OKAY?! Please to enjoy!

YOU ARE NOT ALONE...YOU ARE NEVER ALONE!

HEYYOOOOOO! It's a muthaflippin' bonus episode where we take a look at the many literary and esoteric foundations that helped put this whole wacky ass multi-part series into action!

Lovecraftian works featuring "non-Euclidean geometry", Alan Moore & Eddie Campbell's "FROM HELL" (not the shitty Hollywood Johnny Dip version but the real shit), Iain Sinclair's "LUD HEAT", "HAWKSMOORE" by Peter Ackroyd, "EGREGORES" by Mark Stavish, John Keel's "THE EIGHTH TOWER", Patrick Harpur's "DAIMONIC REALITY", "THE TRICKSTER & THE SUPERNATURAL" by George Hansen, & "TEITO MONOGATARI" a.k.a. "DOOMED MEGALOPOLIS!" just to name a few! These are the foundational works that lay out the conceptual framework of this series through the use of speculative fiction! THEN WE GET INTO THE NITTY GRITTY! We delve into occult tomes and works of esoteric sciences like "INFERNAL GEOMETRY" by Toby Chappell, "WHAT IS THE 4th DIMENSION?" by Charles Hinton, plus other works of such high strangeness as "HOUSES THAT KILL", "ALIEN ENERGY", & "A BURGLAR'S GUIDE TO THE CITY"...PLUS SO MUCH MORE!

Just wanted to say farewell to a good friend. It kinda didn't seem right to just cram it into the middle of an episode. I also chose not to use his given name for the privacy of both his family and friends. There's also quite a bit I chose to omit, as it largely originates from a place of anger and feelings of helplessness, which (amongst other reasons) I didn't want to include in what's essentially meant to be an overall positive message.

The music is sampled from the track "What Is Best In Life", from the original film score for "Conan The Barbarian", which (to me at least) seems very on brand.

To a friend, a father, a son, a brother, and so much more, to so very many others. Not to mention a legend, who despite his having passed away, now lives on forever within the hearts and minds of all those that he leaves behind.

P.J.S.

(not to mention all the other various weird shit going on around that place!), and finally we end our journey in the Artibonite Valley of Haiti where we'll examine the voodoo secret society known as THE BIZANGO!
