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!
