This week, we're talking about history's wildest alchemists, and we have ourselves a real-life wild alchemist to help navigate! The friendly curmudgeon Alex (host of Natural Born Alchemist) joins the program as guest once again, and this is a man that has immersed himself in the practice and study of traditional alchemy for many years. You can listen to the episode right here! We bring up names like Count of St. […]
This week on the show, we discuss the philosophical perspective of the poet, alchemist and scientist Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. You can listen to the episode right here! His outlook will represent a dive deep into a different approach towards scientific empirical study -- an existentialist, humanistic approach to science that makes use of the self as a tool without tainting the study through biases. Furthered through existing […]
This episode is a cannabis-fueled 4/20 celebration! Alas, I was not here to record for it -- but Jefferson Tilamookslinger was thankfully available to fill in and keep the flame alive! You can listen to the episode right here! For those unaware, Jefferson first appeared in Black Hoodie Alchemy #34 and is a former Illuminati cloning-lab-manager that has since relocated to the Florida Everglades, joining the forces of Tippy Patson's […]
This episode, after heavy considerations of mysticism, trance states, dreams, abnormal psychology, possession, and even some true crime, we are jumping full-on into the serial killer rabbit to discuss the killer I grew up with -- well, he was stalking the hiking trails I grew up on and murdered a barista downtown while I was in high school. You can listen to the episode right here! This infamous and cowardly […]
What are some good books for beginners to learn ceremonial magick?  For some time now people have asked me what I recommend or do I have a recommended reading list for anyone to begin magick practice or study. If you are referring to the traditional style of magick then I absolutely do! First I recommend Lyam Thomas Christophers Magick Kaballah and The Great Work of Self Transformation. This was my study […]
Welcome to a little bit of a listener appreciation edition of Black Hoodie Alchemy! We have a pre-recorded call-in from Chris F, a little bit of featured music from rapper and illustrator Alex Arck, and the rowdy banjo picking of listener Grant Mock under the name Stray Puzzle Piece, who also joins me as a guest in the second portion of the show to discuss the concept of CG Jung's […]
Listen to this week's episode right here! For those of that have kept up with the Tippy Patson interviews, my colleague Martin Ferretti and I have a special treat for you! For those that are unaware, Tippy P is a completely and for sure "real" Florida Man that is convinced he has found evidence of American trucker culture throughout time and space, and that the reptilian Illuminati are actually all […]
Author, illustrator, and experimental esotericist Eric Millar -- The Garbage Wizard himself --returns to the show to talk about his latest work, An Assemblage of Disparate Parts. Following up our last conversation about OG comic book culture, philosophy, and mysticism, Eric's latest work is a decidedly critical strike at the concepts of the "scholar", the "professional", the "accredited", and the "accepted". Eric takes some unique approaches in his critiques as […]
Welcome back, folks! This week on the show, my friend Martin Ferretti joins me to analyze psychoanalyst, Carl Jung's legendary self-therapy journals: The Red and Black Books. Both released after his death, The Red Book represents a sizable portion of the Black Books' contents. Large, leather-bound, and full of beautifully haunting paintings and calligraphy of his innermost spiritual turmoil, Jung's Red Book is truly something like a magical tome written […]
