Black Hoodie Alchemy

The study of equal and opposite reaction is in effect the simplest definition of alchemy, and this is a show that aims at the grit and grime of the alchemical process. Proof of the horrific and unholy will show equal proof of things transcendental and divine if we study closely, so here we put at the forefront the things that keep us up at night, the skeletons in our closets, and the monsters under the bed, so that we may take our power back. Here we are cynics with enough faith to still try

This week is a revisit of the topic from BHA #62, but if you've heard that episode before I urge you to stick around for a listen! Not only is the true crime narrative polished and expanded, there is A LOT OF ADDITIONAL RESEARCH THAT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN EPISODE 62. More research was done into the events and songs that put several big names artists (one way or another) in association with the cult leader Malachi Z York, to include: Jay Z, Nas, Andre 3000, MF DOOM, Prodigy of Mobb Deep, Army of

Welcome back to Black Hoodie Alchemy! This week is another solo episode, and another episode about the Christian author CS Lewis. Last time we brought him up, we went through his work The Problem of Pain and this time we're going to bring up a fictional philosophical book he wrote, something he dedicated to his friend JRR Tolkien, called The Screwtape Letters. This is a fascinating read into the letters of an arch-demon, Screwtape, written to his nephew-demon-apprentice, Wormood -- teaching him

2024/01/07

This week is another solo episode where I take the time for a deep dive into the work of Christian philosopher and fictional author, CS Lewis. Most popular for the renowned Chronicles of Narnia, it is lesser known that Lewis was a damn good non-fiction philosophy author, and his journey tracks one of an atheist to a believing Christian through the helps of people like the very JRR Tolkien himself! This is not a "Christian show", so I must say as a disclaimer that we will be using a much

Happy New Year and welcome black to Black Hoodie Alchemy, folks! This week, I'm briefly talking about my trip back home to Anchorage, and unfolding the lore behind the alleged underground "Dark Pyramid" of Alaska, near Denali, that is apparently underground and four-times the size of the pyramid of Giza. And on top of all that, we have an explicit government cover-up and an intrinsic tie to the history of the state. This story is wild! I'm very skeptical, but as a longtime Alaska

A collection of several visual and literary artworks, I found particular fascination with the first two pieces: Operator's Code and Flight Interpretations. What does it mean to be spiritual as a person living at rock bottom? How do we find alchemy in the drudgery of dirty, underpaying jobs and
