I still do not believe this. As Dave mentioned in the Sniffin ' Flowers
interview, there is a esoteric meaning.

I also believe that the meaning / reference is *even more dangerous*.
It implies reading among others, Crowley, and the great majority of
people who take the guy seriously will not be drawn on the subject and
will pass it off as a joke.

I am convinced the Hawk in question is Horus. The Aeon of Horus started
just after the turn of the century and is roughly analogous to the Age
Of Aquarius. Could be bollocks, but you can bet Dave and Nik are aware
of the reference.
