Welcome back to Black Hoodie Alchemy! Here comes the first appearance (of many to come on this show) of my friend Joe Rupe, host of Lighting the Void and the main brain behind Fringe FM Radio. He is also a former member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and has a great deal of insight into mysticism, transcendental magick, and Jungian psychology. In this episode, we warm up […]
Get ready to get down to the brass tacks of mysticism, magick, and the religious experience. Firstly, what is the difference between these three, and how do things like dreams, psychedelic drugs, and hypnosis fit into it all? Another way to describe this is as an episode about altered states of consciousness and adaptation. Listen to the episode right here! With dreams, we use symbols to quantify emotional values with […]
Welcome back to Black Hoodie Alchemy! In this episode we are setting the stage for our discussions of demonology. This is the first part, and this will be a subject we revisit consistently but not continuously, and we are starting out with poltergeists! We start with analyzing some of the actual sciences here, dealing with analytic psychology and the nervous system. Then the main subjects will be Peter Page and […]
Check out my latest conversation with Martin Ferretti, host of the podcast 'The Alchemical Mind' and editor of my latest book, Hunt Manual: 21st Century Demonology & Forteana. This go-round is my third time on his podcast and you can find the link to this conversation on spotify right here -- you can find the second chat here, and our first chat here. You can also find these episodes on whatever else […]
In November, I was invited onto Seriah Azkath's long-running radio show, Where Did the Road Go? Known for his deep interests in the paranormal, unexplainable and psychological, Seriah and his guest-host Taylor Bell (host of The Green Lion) were kind enough to read my latest book Hunt Manual: 21st Century Demonology & Forteana, and they had great things to say about it. Â Their reads of the book made for […]
“Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.” – Friedrich Nietzsche My latest book, Hunt Manual: 21st Century Demonology & Forteana came out on Halloween of 2021. A few weeks later, I dropped off the map completely, avoided all of my social media accounts, phone calls from fellow researchers and even some family members, and retreated […]
So, here are all my chats and interviews (aside from a handful that you can find in my posts here on this website) on one Spotify playlist, like 55 hrs hours long. I'd be real surprised if anyone listened to all of it, but now you can get your pick of the litter. Forteana, esoterica, mysticism, CG Jung, paranormal, the unexplainable, existentialism, neuroscience, anthropology, hypnosis, true-crime, demonology, hysteria -- these […]
For more Halloween escapades, I join Miguel Conner and his cohort Vance on Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio. It is always a real treat to chat with these two because of their friendliness and their depth of knowledge, and this occasion was no different! This time around, we talk about Gnosticism and the roots it has in existential horror. We also discuss unexplainable/supernatural phenomena, cryptozoology and modern mythology, and Jungian psychology's […]
This time around I join my friends Mike and Maurice again on their podcast 'Mind Escape'. Their particular interest having to do with ancient history, psychedelics, and UFOs (not always all at once, and with a very diligent and empirical mindset), our conversation is certainly geared in that general direction with much more! We talk a little bit about objectivity vs subjectivity in the discussions of good and evil, the […]
