Thanks - all finished now. Good fun and thanks for the tips. H

Concentrate on the letters for the word you already know, h1982 - you'll see an are in the grid with a concentation of its letters.
Look also at letters that can't be in the symbolic name (those at the edges of the grid) these will help you define the edges of that block of 16 letters.
Two letters that feature once only helped me find the name - they're less common letters and one of them quickly led me to the first removed word.

That must have taken me 10 minutes to 'compose' (I really should have refreshed before I posted it}.

...and even then there's a typo in it ('are' - area!}.

Sorry for leading you down an EP Thompson rabbit hole, h1982, an easier route is to google William Blake religion....

I’ve been following this in the hope of a nudge over the finishing line. I have the shape and second word. Can’t fathom first word despite following the hints eg.Blake’s religion?! Please send help!

No sooner had I posted than the penny dropped! Got it now. Thanks for helps along the way.

An enjoyable gridfill and then ages staring blankly. The PDM when it came was like the relief when you finally get that unreachable bit of orange pith out from between your back teeth. Nevertheless, thank you Serpent (I think!😉).

I'm still at the pith picking phase! Can anyone give me a nudge with the 1st clue across and 1st one down please?

Woohoo got 1 down.
