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.

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!
