Fell down the rabbithole of psychogeography/deep topography and the dérive after I looked into Katharine Emma Maltwood’s discovery of the temple of the stars at Glastonbury.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landscape_zodiac

The Discovery of a Prehistoric Zodiac in England (with Plate XI) by K. E. Maltwood in Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, Vol. 37 (1943) [missing plate XI depicting the terrestrial zodiac]: https://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1943JRASC..37..269M

Maltwood’s idea of the temple of the stars/terrestrial zodiac was featured on an episode of Ancient Aliens, but it was very much a letdown. It would be nice to see a deep-dive into her idea and its relation to the mythos of King Arthur (the round table being the zodiac, and the knights represented by the celestial signs).

Nick Papadimitriou is easily the most interesting figure I have come across in quite some time. He is at the center of the documentary The London Perambulator, and the director, John Rogers has also uploaded several scenes that were cut to his YouTube. Most of the resources I have found on the French Situationists and the dérive, psychogeography, and Papadimitriou’s deep topography focus on urban environs.

Any resources that focus on ancient landscapes and the rural landscape, the genius loci?

There is a lot of overlap between psychogeography/deep topography and ley lines and sacred/occult architecture. Here are a few links on ley lines and esoteric architecture. Again, not found much on the genius loci/ancient monuments, so anything on that is most welcome.

Found a wealth of interesting information on this topic lately. Lud Heat (1975) by Iain Sinclair introduced the idea of “lines of influence” formed by churches and monuments designed and built by architects following the Great Fire of London in 1666. This idea was picked up by Peter Ackroyd in his 1985 novel Hawksmoor, and inspired Alan Moore to write the graphic horror novel From Hell.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawksmoor_(novel)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_Hell

“I think that the dead are the great teachers, I think that all of these sites could be possible to get into a sort of meditative wisdom exchange with the dead. The dead don’t stop, I mean the energies can’t possibly just stop or decay at that point. I think distinctly that the sort of dreams of the dead fertilise the ground of those churches. [Normally?] I think that in some way that the force of the church could be cancelled by the removal of the dead from underneath it. ’cause by lying these dead, who represent different periods in time, so that the present is constantly there, because people are being buried all the time. You’ve got them laid out geometrically underneath the whole body of the church, they are the emanations of the dead rising. And there are the praises lifting through the roof, you’ve got [code?]”

— Iain Sinclair interviewed by Paul Green, The Lud Heat Tapes (1979), originally made for BBC Radio 3

“…the churches of Nicholas Hawksmoor soon invade the consciousness, the charting instinct. Eight churches give us the enclosure, the shape of the fear; — built for early century optimism, erected over a fen of undisclosed horrors, white stones laid upon the mud and dust, In this air certain hungers were activated that have yet to be pacified; no turning back, as Yeats claims ‘the stones once set up traffic with the enemy.’”

— Lud Heat (1975) by Iain Sinclair

“There are various ways to read the pattern of Hawksmoor’s churches, did he, for example, align them with each other and build up a pentacle or a series of shapes and triangulations across London? Or was this accidental? Authors like Peter Ackroyd have suggested that there was an actual occult pattern built into the design of the Hawksmoor churches. They way I would rather see them perhaps, is that they honoured patterns of energy that existed in London from the earliest times.”
