This week on Black Hoodie Alchemy, we're releasing the third of four episodes from the now-defunct Patreon feed! Patreon will be back eventually, but no dates are set right now and I've decided that, for now, I do not want to split my time and attention up so much when it comes to my show.

So this episode comprises the third installment of Chris, Seedperson and I analyzing "Existential Alchemy in Practice" by sifting through the unexplainable, surreal, and highly symbolic aspects of our lives.

This week we build off our investigation of surreal, dream-like childhood memories - including a consideration of young children and the paranormal, and we also talk about the idea of Lost Media.

Lost Media is art that we remember from our childhoods, media that usually made an indelible impression on us - yet we cannot find a single trace of its existence in today's world. Today, people have whole internet forums dedicated to trying to find the things that scared or inspired them as very young children.

The idea of lost media, especially considering the surreal and unexplainable experiences that we often find in our youth, is quite an open-ended rabbit-hole for analytic psychology that we found extremely interesting.

It's all this and a whole lot more, so we hope you dig it!

Welcome back to Black Hoodie Alchemy, folks! This week is another chat I had with my good friend and fellow alchemist, Seedperson1. It's also a chat that was recorded in February of this year, and was originally put into the now-defunct Black Hoodie Alchemy patreon feed. (Candidly, we'll likely do a patreon again at some point, but it ended up being a greater strain on my schedule than I thought it would be, and there was not a huge amount of listener interest in it for now anyway.)

In this conversation, we build off of our last chat in episode 84 talking about existential alchemy and the inner process, and this time we get into things like maintaining sanity amidst conspiracy theory rabbit-holes, the black mirrors of technology and the potential black magick behind them (archetypally speaking, at the very least), the dark obsessions that so many people have with "influencer fame", and we even bring up the supposed underground pyramid in Alaska again in retrospect.
