Alchemy Unhinged

Auric Blackwood & Jo-Lynn Bhadwandin

HEALING DOESN’T HAVE TO BE BORING. AND IT DEFINITELY DOESN’T HAVE TO BE POLITE. Welcome to Alchemy Unhinged, the podcast for people who have questioned the programming, survived the unraveling, and are ready to become something entirely their own. Hosted by Auric Blackwood and Jo-Lynn Bhagwandin, two alchemists, healers, entrepreneurs, spiritual weirdos, and lifelong question-askers, Alchemy Unhinged explores what happens when you stop blindly accepting the life, beliefs, identities, relationships, careers, and rules you inherited and start asking a much more dangerous question: What if there’s another way? We talk about the shit that actually makes us human: spirituality, energy healing, plant medicine and integration, religious deconstruction, ancestral healing, trauma, nervous system regulation, Human Design, astrology, sexuality, relationships, identity, consciousness, business, purpose, money, creativity, midlife awakening, and the beautifully chaotic process of becoming who the f**k you actually are. Some weeks we go deep into the nature of consciousness. Some weeks we’re talking about healing, spirituality, or the human experience. And some weeks we’re drinking tea and somehow end up discussing sex, childhood trauma, business, ancestors, or whatever rabbit hole we fell into that day. There is no rigid doctrine here. No spiritual hierarchy. No pretending we’ve figured it all out. No toxic positivity. No requirement to believe what we believe. Just curiosity, sovereignty, humor, depth, irreverence, and two people willing to question almost everything. Because the goal isn’t to fix yourself. It’s to free yourself, question everything, and create a life that actually feels like yours. This is Alchemy Unhinged. Come for the chaos. Stay for the transformation...and of course the tea 🖤

    Appalachian X Files | CE5 Protocol in Appalachia

    We went to the Appalachian Mountains for a relaxing getaway. We came back with stories about extraterrestrials, strange lights, unexpected channeling, and something that might have been trying to lure us into the woods by mimicking a human voice. You know. Normal vacation things. 👽 In this episode of Alchemy Unhinged, we're spilling the tea on our recent trip to Blue Ridge, Georgia, where a secluded A-frame cabin became the setting for what might be one of our wildest experiences yet. We dive into Dr. Steven Greer's CE5 protocol and our attempt to make contact with extraterrestrial intelligence. What followed included unexplained flashes of light in the mountains, intense energetic experiences, and moments that left us questioning what we'd just witnessed. But the extraterrestrials weren't the only reason the Appalachian Mountains made this trip unforgettable. The following night, we heard strange voices that didn't quite make sense. Enter Appalachian folklore, the legend of the mimic, and the chilling idea that something in the woods might learn your voice and use it to lure you outside. We get into spiritual channeling, consciousness, energetic protection, Indigenous folklore, trusting your intuition, and the fine line between this is absolutely magical and maybe we should leave every light in this cabin on. Was it extraterrestrial contact? Something paranormal? An experience we don't yet have the language to explain? We're sharing what happened, what we experienced, and how we're making sense of it all. Grab your tea, turn on a few lights, and come down the rabbit hole with Auric Blackwood and Jo-Lynn Bhagwandin. Just remember: if you hear your name in the woods, maybe don't answer. 👀 Welcome to the Appalachian X-Files. PLEASE FOLLOW, LIKE, COMMENT AND SHARE!

    Unhinged Forecast | October 12 -18, 2026 | Your Weekly Energetic Weather Report

    What if this week, you stopped trying to fix yourself and just had some damn fun? 🔥🔮 Welcome to this week’s Unhinged Forecast from Alchemy Unhinged, where we’re diving into the weekly tarot forecast to explore the energy, the lessons, and the places where we might be taking life a little too seriously. The Devil card is setting the tone this week, and the message is surprisingly simple: you are carrying too much, you’re allowed to put some of it down, and not every moment of your life needs to be a healing journey. Sometimes you don’t need another breakthrough. You need a vacation, a coloring book, a little pleasure, and permission to stop making everything so damn serious. We’re exploring what happens when we release the judgment we carry around our desires, reconnect with our inner child, and recognize where we’ve been giving too much of ourselves away. Because what’s the point of building a beautiful life if you’re too exhausted to enjoy it? ✨ THIS WEEK’S TAROT FORECAST: 🔮 The Devil: Unburden yourself, embrace pleasure, and remember that fun is not something you have to earn. ⚖️ Six of Pentacles: Notice where your relationships, responsibilities, and energy are out of balance. Are you giving more than you’re receiving? ❤️ The Lovers: Make choices that honor what you actually want, and maybe bring a little spontaneity into your life. 💰 Ten of Pentacles: Practice gratitude for what you’ve already built. You may have more than you’re giving yourself credit for. 🌊 Ace of Cups: Make space for your emotions, release what isn’t yours to carry, and pour back into your own cup. 🔥 Ace of Wands: Follow the spark. Give your energy to the projects and experiences that make you feel alive. ⚖️ Justice: Take an honest look at where your life is out of balance and decide what needs to change. 🐢 Slow down: Give yourself room to breathe, notice what’s happening around you, and stop rushing through every moment. 🗝️ Seven of Swords: Get strategic about prioritizing yourself. You’re allowed to make choices that serve your own needs, too. The underlying energy is Judgment, calling us to wake up to our higher purpose while releasing the judgment we place on ourselves for what we want, what we enjoy, and who we are when nobody is telling us how to behave. And underneath it all? The Three of Cups reminds us that we don’t have to do everything alone. Let your people show up for you. Ask for help. Make time for community, connection, and a little celebration. This week, give yourself permission to be a little less productive and a little more alive. Go play. Follow your desires. Do something simply because it makes you happy. You do not have to justify every moment of joy by turning it into personal growth. Because you’re not broken. There’s nothing you need to fix before you’re allowed to enjoy your life. You are a masterpiece exactly as you are. 🖤 Your Unhinged Experiment: Where have you been taking life too seriously, giving too much of yourself away, or judging yourself for what you actually want? What would change if you gave yourself permission to have a little fun? 🎧 Subscribe to Alchemy Unhinged for more weekly tarot forecasts, spiritual insight, and unapologetically unfiltered conversations about living a life that actually feels like yours. And stay tuned, because the next forecasts are coming to you from England, Spain, and Portugal! ✈️🌍 #AlchemyUnhinged #UnhingedForecast #WeeklyTarot #TarotReading #TarotForecast #TarotGuidance PLEASE FOLLOW, LIKE, COMMENT AND SHARE!

    The One Relationship You Keep Ghosting

    What if the relationship you keep neglecting is the one you’ll have for the rest of your life? We’re taught from an early age that happiness lives somewhere outside of us. Find your person. Get married. Have kids. Build the house. Be desirable. Be good. Be successful. And somewhere along the way, we become so focused on being somebody’s partner, parent, child, friend, or caretaker that we completely lose track of who the hell we are. In this episode of Alchemy Unhinged, we’re flipping the script on relationships and getting into the one relationship that changes everything: the relationship with yourself. We talk about religious conditioning, purity culture, queer identity, codependency, marriage, sexuality, boundaries, people-pleasing, self-care, and why so many of us are trying to create healthy relationships with other people while barely knowing how to have one with ourselves.We get into the uncomfortable question: Do you actually know what you want? What makes you happy? What fills your cup? What do you desire? What are your boundaries? What parts of your life are actually yours, and what are you still doing because someone else taught you that’s what you were supposed to want? Because you are not broken. You don't need to be fixed. You need to unearth yourself. And once you stop pouring from an empty cup, everything changes. Your relationships. Your boundaries. Your capacity to love. Your ability to receive. Your entire relationship with your own life. So grab your tea and come sit with us for a conversation about self-love, codependency, relationships, conditioning, boundaries, sexuality, and learning how to choose yourself without abandoning the people you love. Because the goal isn't to need nobody. It's to become so deeply connected to yourself that you can love others from overflow instead of depletion.

    Unhinged Forecast | October 5 -11, 2026 | Your Weekly Energetic Weather Report

    What if you don't actually need another freaking sign?! What if you don't need another course, another certification, another book, another tarot pull, another Google search, or another person to tell you what you already know? Maybe you just need to **trust yourself.** Welcome to this week's Unhinged Forecast from Alchemy Unhinged, where we take the astrology, Gene Keys, Human Design and tarot for the week ahead and translate all of that cosmic b******t into something you can actually use in your life. 😂 This week, we're moving from “I need more information” into “I need to trust what I already know.” We're diving into Gene Key 48: Inadequacy → Resourcefulness → Wisdom and Human Design Gate 48, the Gate of Depth, and exploring that familiar feeling of never being ready enough, knowledgeable enough, healed enough, successful enough or qualified enough. Because how many times are you going to tell yourself you need one more thing before you finally trust yourself? We're also moving toward Gate 57 and intuitive clarity, which brings us out of the endless mental analysis and back into the body. That subtle nudge. That gut feeling. That knowing you can't always explain but somehow f*****g know. Plus, we're breaking down the astrology for October 5–11, including: 🦂 Venus retrograde in Scorpio  💋 Mercury conjunct Venus in Scorpio  🌑 The New Moon in Libra  🔥 Mars square Venus  ♎ Libra season, relationships, boundaries and balance  🧬 Gene Key 48: Inadequacy → Resourcefulness → Wisdom  🔺 Human Design Gate 48: Depth  ✨ The shift toward Gate 57 and intuitive clarity  🔮 Tarot for the week ahead   And because we can't do an Alchemy Unhinged Forecast without getting a little feral, we're also talking about the difference between knowing something in your body and immediately letting your mind talk you out of it. Your unhinged experiment this week is simple: Every time you catch yourself saying, “I need to know more before I can…” STOP! Ask yourself this instead: “Do I actually need more information, or do I need to trust myself?” You don't have to act on every feeling. But you also don't have to talk yourself out of every f*****g thing you already know. Maybe you don't need another sign. Maybe you just need to do the damn thing. 🔮 Welcome to the Unhinged Forecast.

    Ayahuasca & the Unhinged Snake Sisterhood

    What happens when you go into an ayahuasca ceremony looking for healing and come out the other side speaking snake, a set of spiritual gifts, and an entirely different understanding of yourself? In Part 2 of our plant medicine journey, we’re going deeper into the experiences that completely cracked us open. We talk about Mother Aya, snake medicine, spiritual gifts, channeling, ancestral connections, energy healing, spirit language, purging, integration, and the bizarre moments that left us asking, “Was that real?” Auric’s journey took him into encounters with snakes, Yeshua, Sekhmet, healing energy, venom, ancestry, and a direct download of something he was meant to do. Jo-Lynn received her own unexpected encounter with the fae. And somewhere along the way, the two of us experienced ourselves as two heads of the same iridescent snake...yes... we are snake sisters! Because apparently, this is what happens when two spiritual weirdos drink ayahuasca together. We also get into the part nobody talks about enough: what happens after the ceremony. The doubt. The questioning. The integration. The religious conditioning that makes you wonder whether you can trust your own experience. And the challenge of bringing something completely unexplainable back into ordinary life. This isn't about telling you what to believe. It's about sharing what we experienced, what we made of it, and what happened when the medicine got very, very personal. Grab your tea. We're going back into the jungle. 🐍 #AlchemyUnhinged #Ayahuasca #PlantMedicine #SpiritualAwakening #SpiritualGifts #AyahuascaJourney #PlantMedicineIntegration PLEASE FOLLOW, LIKE, COMMENT AND SHARE!

    Unhinged Forecast | Sept 28 - Oct 4 | Your Weekly Energetic Weather Report

    What if the thing you keep calling “self-improvement” is actually keeping you stuck? Welcome to this week’s Unhinged Forecast, where we look at the week ahead through astrology, Gene Keys, Human Design, tarot, and a little bone-casting magic, because apparently one form of divination wasn’t enough. 😂 This week’s theme is STOP MAKING YOURSELF WRONG FOR WHAT YOU’RE BEING SHOWN. We’re diving into Gene Key 18: Judgment → Integrity → Perfection and Human Design Gate 18, the Gate of Correction. And we’re getting into the very real difference between noticing something that needs to change and using that awareness as another reason to beat the shit out of yourself. Because perfectionism can look incredibly productive. More research. More preparation. More healing. More planning. More tweaking. More waiting until you’re “ready.” And suddenly you’ve spent months preparing to do the thing instead of actually doing it. We’re talking about **preparation paralysis, self-judgment, perfectionism, integrity, discernment, and learning to make corrections without turning yourself into the problem.** Then we get into the astrology for September 28–October 4, including: 🦂 Mercury entering Scorpio  🔥 Mercury squaring Mars and Pluto  💋 Venus retrograde in Scorpio  🪐 The Sun opposing Saturn  ♎ Libra season and the balance between ME vs. WE  🧬 Gene Key 18 + Human Design Gate 18  🔮 Tarot + bone casting for the week ahead   And the question we want you to carry with you this week is: “Am I judging myself right now, or am I simply receiving information about something that needs to change?” Because you are not broken. You might just be seeing something clearly for the first time. And once you can see it without judgment, you can actually do something about it. Stop making yourself wrong for what you’re being shown. Welcome to the Unhinged Forecast. 🔮 PLEASE FOLLOW, LIKE, COMMENT AND SHARE!

    Born A Sinner, Saved By The Snake

    What happens when two alchemists walk into plant medicine carrying completely different wounds, fears, gifts, and questions… and walk out realizing the medicine had been talking to both of them all along? In this episode of Alchemy Unhinged, we’re taking you inside the plant medicine journey that changed the way we understood ourselves, each other, and the work we’re here to do. Kambo. Humpaya. Ayahuasca. Ancestors. Extraterrestrials. Music. Voices. Death. Rebirth. Snakes. A whole lot of WTF moments. And two very different journeys happening inside the same medicine. For Auric, the journey cracked open one of the deepest pieces of religious conditioning he carried from childhood: the belief that he was inherently bad. Born a sinner. Taught to fear the snake. And then the medicine asked a completely different question: what if the snake was never evil? For Jo-Lynn, the medicine opened an entirely different door, revealing the relationship between her voice, healing, plant medicine, and the medicine she already carries within herself. Two people. One week. Completely different journeys. And somehow, every thread kept leading back to the same thing: maybe healing isn’t about becoming someone new. Maybe it’s about remembering who the hell you were before you were taught there was something wrong with you. This is our story of the medicine, the messages, the moments we still can’t fully explain, and the beginning of a journey that ultimately led us straight into the work we’re building together. And this is only Part One. The deeper we went, the stranger it got. 🐍🔥 ⚠️ This episode discusses Ayahuasca, Kambo, DMT, altered states of consciousness, and our personal experiences with plant medicine.

    We're All Just F*cked Up Butterflies | The 4 Stages of Alchemy

    What if becoming who you actually are requires you to burn down who you thought you were? In this episode of Alchemy Unhinged, we’re getting into the four major stages of alchemy: Nigredo, Albedo, Citrinitas, and Rubedo. And because apparently we enjoy making our lives harder, we’re mapping the whole damn process onto our own 11-year journey of friendship, career upheaval, religious deconstruction, spiritual awakening, identity shifts, and ultimately creating Haus of Alchemy. We talk about what happens when the old version of your life stops working, why you can’t rush the transformation, what the hell you’re supposed to do when you’re stuck in the unknown, and why trying to force yourself into your next chapter too soon can leave you a very f*cked-up butterfly. 🦋 This is the part of transformation nobody puts on the inspirational mug. The burning.The rebuilding.The waiting.The becoming.And eventually, the moment you realize: holy shit, I made it. Except alchemy isn’t linear. Once you reach the gold, another cycle begins. Grab your tea. We’re going in on the deeply f*cked-up beauty of becoming yourself. 🦋 PLEASE FOLLOW, LIKE, COMMENT AND SHARE!

    Unhinged Forecast | September 14 - 20, 2026 | Your Weekly Energetic Weather Report

    Welcome to the first-ever Unhinged Forecast, your weekly Sunday ritual for figuring out what the actual f*ck the energetic weather is before you walk into the week. We’re combining tarot, astrology, Gene Keys, Human Design, nervous system wisdom, and actual practical shit you can do with all of it. Because knowing Mercury is doing something weird is great… but what the hell are you supposed to do about it? Every week, we’ll look at the collective energy, pull tarot for the week ahead, break down the astrological transits, explore the Gene Keys being activated, and translate all of that into something you can actually feel, notice, and work with in your body and your life. For our inaugural forecast, we’re talking about leaving old shit behind, taking the leap, reclaiming your power, navigating emotional turbulence, and learning the difference between activation and actual instruction. We get into Virgo season, Venus moving into Scorpio, Mercury opposite Saturn, Gene Key 47 and its journey from oppression to transmutation, Gene Key 6 and the movement from conflict to diplomacy, emotional authority, nervous-system regulation, and why you probably shouldn’t make a giant life decision while you’re activated. And then we pull a card for every day Monday through Sunday to see what each day is bringing. Your assignment this week? Stop trying to think your way out of what your body is trying to teach you. Feel it first. Regulate. Then decide. Preferably much later. Or never. 😂 Grab your tea. Check the weather.

    Raised on Kool-Aid, Church & Trauma | Childhood Programming, Religious Trauma & Midlife Awakening

    What happens when the childhood you remember as the best f*****g childhood ever turns out to be full of programming you’re still carrying in your 40s? Welcome to Alchemy Unhinged. In our very first episode, we’re taking a nostalgic trip back to the 80s and 90s: Kool-Aid, Nintendo, Atari, AOL dial-up, McDonald’s, Taco Bell, VHS, playing outside until the streetlights came on, and a world before social media was living in our pockets. And then we ask the uncomfortable question: what the f**k did all of that program us to believe? We get into childhood programming, religious trauma, anxiety, nervous system dysregulation, inner child healing, growing up queer, deconstructing the beliefs we inherited, hustle culture, external validation, and the strange midlife awakening that happens when you start questioning the life you were taught to want. Because maybe the career, relationship, money, status, productivity, success, and identity you’re chasing aren’t actually yours. Maybe you’re still running software someone else installed. This is not a solemn healing podcast. Expect deep conversations, questionable jokes, profanity, nostalgia, tea, spiritual rabbit holes, and the occasional existential crisis. Alchemy Unhinged is where we take the beautiful, f****d-up mess of being human and alchemize the hell out of it. If you’ve ever looked around at your life and thought, “Wait… do I even want this?” you’re in the right place. Grab your tea. Let’s get unhinged. 🖤 ✨ Explore Haus of Alchemy: hausofalchemy.org  #AlchemyUnhinged #ChildhoodProgramming #ReligiousTrauma #MidlifeAwakening #SpiritualAwakening

About

HEALING DOESN’T HAVE TO BE BORING. AND IT DEFINITELY DOESN’T HAVE TO BE POLITE. Welcome to Alchemy Unhinged, the podcast for people who have questioned the programming, survived the unraveling, and are ready to become something entirely their own. Hosted by Auric Blackwood and Jo-Lynn Bhagwandin, two alchemists, healers, entrepreneurs, spiritual weirdos, and lifelong question-askers, Alchemy Unhinged explores what happens when you stop blindly accepting the life, beliefs, identities, relationships, careers, and rules you inherited and start asking a much more dangerous question: What if there’s another way? We talk about the shit that actually makes us human: spirituality, energy healing, plant medicine and integration, religious deconstruction, ancestral healing, trauma, nervous system regulation, Human Design, astrology, sexuality, relationships, identity, consciousness, business, purpose, money, creativity, midlife awakening, and the beautifully chaotic process of becoming who the f**k you actually are. Some weeks we go deep into the nature of consciousness. Some weeks we’re talking about healing, spirituality, or the human experience. And some weeks we’re drinking tea and somehow end up discussing sex, childhood trauma, business, ancestors, or whatever rabbit hole we fell into that day. There is no rigid doctrine here. No spiritual hierarchy. No pretending we’ve figured it all out. No toxic positivity. No requirement to believe what we believe. Just curiosity, sovereignty, humor, depth, irreverence, and two people willing to question almost everything. Because the goal isn’t to fix yourself. It’s to free yourself, question everything, and create a life that actually feels like yours. This is Alchemy Unhinged. Come for the chaos. Stay for the transformation...and of course the tea 🖤
