Simon is an epileptic and the during an epileptic fugue he held an imaginary conversation inside his own head, with the 'beast' or the potential to do evil that he already suspected lay inside everyone. In his feverish state he incorporated the imagery of the pig's head on a stick, which Jack made as an offering to a nonexistent real beast. In essence the 'conversation' just confirms Simon's earlier suggestion when he said during a meeting "Maybe there is a beast, I mean maybe the beast is just us." there is no creature with wings and claws, there is only the evil inside people that makes them enjoy killing pigs, and worse things, just for the fun of it.
