This episode is a bit of a Heavy Metal Special! And that also makes it an opportunity to play some brutal solos and breakdowns courtesy of the metal band, Silent on Fifth Street, of which my friend Adam Koch is the bassist. You can find their music on Youtube, Spotify, and iTunes the easiest and we'll be playing a few samples of tracks here on this show instead of the […]
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, where our chats are full of jazz, horror, black hoodie raps and metaphysics. This week is a Part 2 of sorts to last week! Extending out of my last conversation about the Abrahamic religions, Gnosticism, and alchemy, Alex and I go deeper into alchemical symbolism and discuss the detailed ins and outs of what plants, gardening, and horticulture have to do with spirituality. We […]
This week's episode is released a bit late on account of me being bedridden with a stomach virus -- it was goddamn terrible. This chat was recorded before it hit me, but not before I had prepared it for release at all, so here it is a couple days late! Listen to the episode right here! It's a chat with my good friend Alex that started open-ended with some cannabis […]
Greetings everyone and thank you for joining me after a longer hiatus than I expected -- around 6 weeks! It was a move to a new city, commuting a lot while the move finished up on top of a job-transfer and everything else. Nothing really eventful outside of the norm, but now here I am back in the weekly swing of things! This was a rare extended break for several […]
This week of Black Hoodie Alchemy brings us our first guest: my friend and colleague, Eric Millar! While he's done the cover of my book Hunt Manual and we've talked back and forth for nearly a couple years, this actually marks our first real-time conversation, and we had a helluva time. Eric comes around to have a serious but informal discussion about old school comic books, their culture and content, […]

THE EATER OF WORLDS AN INTRODUCTION At the center of nothing sits a chamber with a single occupant. He is a scientist and he failed his people and the entirety of the universe. He built that chamber […]
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 […]
