This week on the show, my good friend, colleague, and fellow alchemist Martin Ferretti comes back on to get real deep into the stages of alchemy throughout all processes of life. Despite his show The Alchemical Mind being on hiatus for some time, Martin has been a diligent alchemist in many capacities for years now, and he's one of my favorite people to talk to when it comes to this subject.



Calcination, Dissolution, Separation, Conjunction, Fermentation, Distillation, and Coagulation -- these are the seven stages of alchemy, whether it be mental, physical, or spiritual. In seven stages we even find the levels of heaven and hell, the seven chakras, concepts like the seven stages of grief, and so much more.



What does it mean to go through these processes on a psychological, existential level? To further elaborate this food for thought we bring up topics like Carl Jung, shadow work, the Kabbalah, Aristotle's distaste for the written word, Philip K Dick, Liu Cixin's The Three Body Problem, dark timelines and my recent conversation with Eric Millar, deciphering psychedelic revelations, and so much more.



We hope you dig it!

For Black Hoodie Alchemy this week, I have recurring guest, friend, and innovative mystic, Eric Millar on the show to talk about his latest work, ⁠WOMBAT⁠ and all that existential fury that it holds! 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 lives that don't provide us with what we need, let alone what we want? Where do we go when time and time again, the reward it seems we get for trying is actually getting completely f****d? How does one find peace in a world that feels like a dark, upside-down timeline?



For more food for thought along these lines, we bring up impressively daunting works like David Halberstam's The Powers That Be, Douglas Rushkoff's Life Inc: How Corporatism Conquered the World and How to Take it Back and Warren Ellis' Marvel Ruins.



We talk about magick, mysticism, chaos theory and many-worlds theory, comic books, spiritual anger and so much more!



We hope you dig it.

This week on Black Hoodie Alchemy, I give you another solo deep dive into the mystical philosophies and analytic psychology of Carl Jung.



Anima and animus, yin and yang, subconscious and conscious, negative and positive, night and day, qliphoth and sephiroth, soul and spirit, feminine and masculine -- the union of opposites is something that the alchemist has always been focused on, and the reconciliation of opposites within a human being can manifest itself in a variety of peculiar ways, depending on how that human interacts and identifies with the world around them.



This episode is going to be a hard one to try and summarize -- but suffice it to say that throughout Jung's final book, Memories, Dreams, Reflections, the psychoanalyst opened up a great deal about what it meant to reconcile the opposites within himself. Namely, like with most average men, Jung's spiritual alchemy came in the form of communications with his anima -- the feminine nature of his soul itself -- and his journey mirrors direct archetypal equivalents in the stories of alchemists and artists like Dante Alighieri, Philip K Dick, and Wolfgang Von Goethe.



These stories and artworks do not represent end-all-be-all processes of inner alchemy, but they do serve as quality examples as to how some of these extremely esoteric mechanics will play out -- whatever faces they choose to use as they manifest!



I hope you dig it.

This week on Black Hoodie Alchemy, we finally have our first lady guest on the show! While this show does have a little bit of a male slant, we've always maintained a solid third of lady listeners and I apologize for this taking so long! It's been a combination of me enjoying the company of my best researcher homies, doing solo shows, and having tricky scheduling. I wasn't even sure who the first female guest would be for a while, but I'm pleased to announce that it's working scientist, biologist, and longtime listener of the show, codenamed: Momma Bear!



Having been a longtime practicing mystic, occultist, and biologist, Momma Bear is a BHA listener that's lived a full life with a great deal of insight to share! We talk about the Divine Feminine in esoteric philosophy in Jungian psychoanalysis, recommended lady philosophers and magicians, paranormal activity in children, Houdini and his colleague (perhaps even muse) Rose Mackenberg, and female pharaohs in Egyptian culture.



We also take the time to discuss aspects of Mother of the Mysteries to include the Egyptian goddess Isis, and the relationship she and other figures have to Mother Mary in Christian theology. In this vein, we also discuss what the Divine Feminine and comparative religion at large mean to the modern scientific method.



Science itself seems to have no soul, ethics, or morals, and many argue that this is how it should be. However, the evidence empirically suggests otherwise. Science compels us towards ethics and morality, if we use it properly -- and in today's society, we've lost the plot. One might say in many ways that modern science today is far too masculine, and would do well to have more of a nurturing touch, so Momma Bear helps me sift through all this and more!



We hope you dig it.

Welcome back to Black Hoodie Alchemy, folks! This week we have another special guest -- researcher, musician, and longtime listener of the show -- Chris Fiato, here to talk about addiction, trauma, philosophy, metaphysics, and spirituality. Heavily referenced in the discussion is Dr. Gabor Mate, the sentiments found in his book In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts, and his clinical work in Canada with the psychedelic rehabilitation of heroin addicts.



Chris and I talk about some of the science of addiction and what the scientific literature has to say about effectively processing trauma while recovering from addiction, showing how this all quite naturally folds into analytic psychology and the notion of integrating the Jungian shadow.



We also discuss -- after disclaimers that we are not doctors and we are not romanticizing anything, but we are simply sharing our experiences -- various psychedelic therapies like mushrooms, DMT, salvia, LSD, and ketamine (technically a not a psychedelic but still). We get into the double-edged nature of these things, and even the potential metaphysics of chemicals being psychological gateways for unexplainable phenomena.



Along the way, we even get into human trafficking in conspiracy theories and proven fact, life on the streets in Massachusetts, and even the epidemic of the well-known fentanyl and its lesser known cohort XYLAZINE. Help spread awareness about this horrifying and quickly lethal combo that combats the effects of Narcan!



It's all this and so much more this week on Black Hoodie Alchemy! We hope you dig it.
