PODCAST

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

Welcome back to Black Hoodie Alchemy! This week I have another special returning guest: good ol' Douglas Batchelor of the 'What Magic is This?' podcast, and we're following up our chat in BHA #54, where we discussed Magick in History & Modern Day. For those unfamiliar, Douglas is a researcher and magician that is as talented as he is cheerful and humble, and his podcast has many impressive, insightful guests that are well worth your listen! But this time around on BHA, we are

Welcome back to Black Hoodie Alchemy -- this week is a bit of a twist! Longtime listeners of Black Hoodie Alchemy will be very familiar with the strange character that is Tippy Patson -- the Redneck Mystic Extraordinaire -- and his appearances in episodes 14, 30, 38, and 59. Well somehow this idiot decided to record his very own BHA episode without me! Yes, he found my upload login and my Zoom password, and also didn't bother to let me know we were recording when I gave him a call in the middle

Happy Halloween season to you all and thanks for tuning into Black Hoodie Alchemy! This week it's all things horror, even more than usual. We're diving into everything that constitutes horror -- particularly the movies, but to include literature, artwork, and music like heavy metal. Why do people enjoy horror while others don't? If horror is such a primal emotion based on survival, why do people seek it out in artistic experiences, and what might there be to gain from these

Welcome back to Black Hoodie Alchemy! This week is a re-release of a conversation I had with Martin Ferretti -- friend of mine, fellow alchemist, and host of the podcast 'The Alchemical Mind', currently on hiatus but with a lot of great content you can go check out! Originally released in December of 2020, Martin and I get into the esoteric history of gods, particularly in the west, and how the concepts of good and evil have evolved over time, and I felt that this was a great episode to draw

Welcome back to Black Hoodie Alchemy, folks! This week we're going down a vast rabbit-hole of cult mentality, hip hop, new age metaphysics, heavy racism, classical conspiracy theories, and ancient alien pseudo-history! This is the story of cult leader and "inspirational" hip-hop figurehead "Dr. Malachi Z. York" AKA just Dwight York, who is not a real doctor. This man, through his own psychopathic charisma, started a cult offshoot of the Nation of Islam in the early 70s in

Welcome back to Black Hoodie Alchemy, where we're getting into the juxtaposition of concepts like "God" and "evolution". This episode is a little bit of a follow-up to episodes 58, 48, 24, 16, 15, and 4 among others. You certainly don't have to listen to those episodes to enjoy this one, but it will help provide additional context -- especially if you're looking for more food for thought along these lines!

Along with Buddhist meditation instructor and my colleague Justin Otto (host of the Dharma Junkie podcast and Gulf Coast Dharma) we are finally blessed with the return of Redneck Mystic Extraordinaire Tippy Patson! A man known for leading The League of Extordniary Gents in the Everglades, bathing in his own urine to speak to angels, wrestling Illuminati shape-shifting

For this week's food for thought, we are tackling psychoanalyst Carl Jung's work, 'Answer to Job'. Not only is it Jung's most controversial work, but it was also one of his personal favorites despite all the Christian spite it brought upon him. This infamous book of the Bible sees Yahweh wager a bet with Satan over the life of one of Yahweh's most faithful followers. Job is not only pious and faithful but also very successful, seemingly without a reason to doubt God. But

This week we've got a little bit of a variety hour for you! The first half consists of punching up and having a good laugh at some of the celebrities who have recently tried to become cult leaders -- some more successful than others, and all extremely sick and demented. I go through the strange circumstances of horror-shows like Ezra Miller and R. Kelly, the simply-just-annoying Jared Leto, and manipulative shut-in Athene -- one of the internet's first popular game-streamers who is now

Would you believe me if I told that in 1998, a real Japanese man would be tricked into a survival-horror version of the 'Truman Show' in real life? Would you then believe me that this broadcast got upwards of 17 million viewers at a time, and that it was all broadcast and sold under the genre of "comedy"? Well believe it or not, it happened, and this week on Black Hoodie Alchemy I'm explaining the entire harrowing experience of Tomoaki Hamatsu on this gameshow -- the man

Well... sort of. He actually "put me in touch" with an estranged "friend" of his named Jason Tortilla. As Jason explains throughout the podcast, he was a "professorial-type" that was unable to make tenure while at the Bristol Academy in the UK. (If you'd like to see a small

This week on the show, we have special guest Douglas Batchelor joining us! Host of the popular 'What Magic is This?' podcast, Doug is a uniquely exciting person for the program because he is so fully immersed in the study and practice of what we know as "magick." While our conversation spans information that whole careers are spent on, we discuss overviews of magick in history into the modern day, investigating certain historical touchstones along the way -- Carl Jung, Goethe,

2023/07/10

This week on the show, I am tying up some loose threads that can be found recurring all throughout the Black Hoodie Alchemy program: the idea of inner mythology. As above, so below; as within, so without -- the practice of alchemy through art and science helps to investigate and further define the inner realms of our psyche so hungry for transmutation. Through a web of dreams, art, intuition, and esoteric magick guided with rigor and discipline, the simple ideals and anxieties of our imagination can

Joined with Seriah Azkath (veteran radio host of Where Did the Road Go? in New York) and AP Strange (veteran researcher of the unexplainable and a historian of Fortean culture), we tackle the classic and unsung Fortean research book The Goblin Universe, by F.W.

This week, we take a break from the dense alchemy to consider how these concepts are applied in human life, namely in the life of one of history's most peculiar and tragic characters: Joseph Merrick aka The Elephant Man. Many are aware of the man's namesake and the rumor that Michael Jackson purchased his bones (Jackson was interested but never actually got them), but lesser known are the truly heartbreaking and inspiring bits and pieces that made up Merrick's life before he died at 27

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. We bring up names like Count of St. Germain, Zosimos of Panopolis, Goethe, John Dee and Edward Kelley, and the great Paracelsus, as well as alchemy-adjacent

This week on the show, we discuss the philosophical perspective of the poet and scientist Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. 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 concepts like Waldorf Education and Biodynamic Agriculture, Goethean Science continues to make an impact to this day, and it

Author, philosopher, and full-blooded alchemist PD Newman joins the show to help us sift through the weeds of esoterica here, and he's one of the best men for the job. Not only is he an accredited scholar and researcher, but also an alchemist in practice when it comes to philosophy and experimentation. He makes his own
