Your story is your operating system; Hack the code.
Narrative Alchemy is the practice of treating stories as spiritual technology—seeing inherited scripts clearly, releasing what isn't yours, and consciously authoring new myths to live by.
It's where Jung meets chaos magic, where the imaginal becomes operational, and where inner transformation reshapes outer reality.
I build games, practices, and frameworks that make this work tangible. Magus Eternal is one of those tools—a tarot RPG designed as a container for threshold crossing. The Narrative Codex is another—a living archive of techniques, lore, and experiments.
This isn't coaching or therapy. It's spiritual technology for people ready to hack their own operating system.
The Soulcruzer podcast…narrative alchemy in audio form. Call it an audioblog, call it threshold work, call it confessional mysticism.
One day I’m working through tarot as spiritual technology. The next, I’m exploring Nietzsche’s eternal return as lived practice, chaos magick techniques, or games as containers for transformation. Depth psychology meets the esoteric. Ancient wisdom meets the AI age. Theory becomes practice.
This is what narrative alchemy sounds like from the inside: raw, real, unpolished. Experiments in treating stories as code and consciousness as hackable.

Man and His Symbols is an accessible gateway into Jungian depth work. This illustrated exploration of archetypes and symbols reveals how transformation happens in the imaginal realm, below conscious awareness.
Hillman's "acorn theory" illuminates the path to Authentic Purpose. His poetic yet rigorous approach gives language to the daimonic self and the ineffable aspects of personal mythology.

Packed with exercises that treat the cards as doorways to the imaginal realm, this is required reading for practitioners ready to use archetypal imagery as active imagination practice.
Johnson demystifies Jung's most powerful technique with step-by-step guidance for engaging the imaginal realm directly. This slim volume transforms abstract theory into actionable practice—essential for practitioners ready to move beyond conceptual understanding.
The clearest introduction to chaos magic as pragmatic practice. Strips away dogma to reveal the core mechanics of belief as a tool. Perfectly bridges the gap between depth psychology and results-orientated transformation work.
While the hero's journey has been overused, Campbell's original text remains vital for understanding narrative structure as psycho-spiritual map. Read it to learn the pattern, then transcend it.
This groundbreaking work bridges the mystical and scientific, revealing how tarot actually works through the lens of neuroscience and cognitive psychology. Essential reading for practitioners who want to understand the neurological mechanisms behind symbol work, pattern recognition, and the imaginal realm's interface with the predictive brain.

Episode Summary:What if belief wasn’t something you had to “find” or “wait for”—but something you could shape, install, and wield? In this episode, we explore one of the foundational principles of Change Magick: belief as a tool.
Soulcruzer Podcast: Show Notes Episode Overview Welcome to another episode of Soulcruzer. Today, I’m recording from an unlikely spot—the Premier Inn at Heathrow Airport. Finding a quiet place has been a challenge, with fans humming in the room and planes roaring overhead every few minutes. But that’s just part of...
There’s something almost monastic about this mechanic’s workshop. The tools arranged like sacred relics, the quiet rituals of tuning an engine, the slow work of bringing something worn and rusted back to life. To an outsider, it might look like simple labour—just a man fixing bikes. But to those who...
reclaiming the lost art of deep thought When was the last time you truly sat with an idea—let it breathe, let it unravel, let it lead you somewhere unexpected? Not just skimming the surface, not just forming a quick opinion before moving on, but actually dwelling inside the thought, following...
blurring the lines between game and reality Imagine waking up one morning to an email that shouldn’t exist. A cryptic message from a character you’ve never met, hinting at a secret society, a hidden mystery, or an unfolding conspiracy. Or maybe a symbol appears in a public park—a riddle carved...
This morning, I stepped outside—not to get anywhere, but to clear the cobwebs from my mind. A simple walk, a quiet dérive, untangling thoughts spun from a day of circling my own house, my own head. It’s easy to drift away from the core of who we are. To become...
There was a moment, years ago, when I first questioned the solidity of reality. It wasn’t a grand revelation, not some hallucinatory break where the walls dissolved into cascading green code—but something smaller, quieter, like a glitch at the edge of perception. I was walking home late at night, the...
Change is inevitable. The question is—do you resist it, or do you wield it? Welcome to the first episode of Change Magick, my new micropodcast exploring the art of transformation and personal power. This is not just a podcast—it’s a space for experimentation, a signal for those ready to step...
Here’s what the Beatles Rubber Soul album would have sounded like if it were recorded as a Motown album: h/t: https://bgr.com/entertainment/ai-turned-the-beatles-rubber-soul-into-a-motown-album-that-sounds-uncannily-real/
Change Magick Change is inevitable. The question is—do you resist it, or do you wield it? At the tail end of last year, I started working on a framework for personal power and transformation, which I called Change Magick. It fuses Chaos Magick, Jungian psychology, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and postmodern philosophy....
André Breton’s Manifesto of Surrealism remains a rallying cry for writers willing to break free from the rigid structures of thought and let language flow untamed. His approach—writing in a near-trance, embracing the spontaneous, refusing to edit—challenges the way we often think about storytelling. What if writing wasn’t about control...
Leave it to the Japanese to have a word that perfectly describes my book obsession. Tsundoku—the quiet, beautiful accumulation of books, stacked high with the best of intentions yet left unread. It is not hoarding, not neglect, but something softer, something more reverent. Each unread book is a possibility, a...
I came across a simple yet powerful idea from Lenny’s latest podcast where he interviews Shopify’s CEO, Tobi Lũtke: You are way, way better than you think. It’s the kind of phrase that lands differently depending on where you are in your life. Read it on the right day, and...
I’m right there with Dave on this. Support for links is the basic requirement of the web, the same way we say feeds are required to be a podcast. If you don’t support links not only aren’t you the web, you’re anti-web. In reply to https://oursocialweb.org/. building the web like we...
can we ever escape our destiny? I’ll admit it—when Terminator: Dark Fate popped up in my Netflix feed, my first reaction was a weary sigh. Another Terminator movie? How many times are we going to bend the space-time continuum just to bring back Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton? Haven’t we...
A Reflection on Brown Girls Do It Too It started as a digital dérive, one of those random, serendipitous wanderings across the vast sprawl of the internet. I wasn’t looking for anything in particular—just letting the current take me where it would. And that’s how I stumbled upon Brown Girls...
I thought I’d start my weekend off watching Mechanic: Resurrection. I’m always down for a Jason Statham movie. I’m a big fan of the original Mechanic starring Charles Bronson, and I thought they did a decent job with the remake in 2011 with Statham. Amazon Prime has it rated at...
a meditation on fringe philosophy There are moments when thought feels like it’s pressing against the edges of something vast—something unspeakable, unknowable. A crack in the world, a slippage in the code. You sense that if you just push a little further, if you let go of the need for...
This Brass Against cover of Wake Up is absolutely fire. The brass section adds this raw, cinematic weight to the track, and Sophia Urista’s vocals carry that same furious energy that Zack de la Rocha infused into the original. It’s like a rallying cry that blends jazz-infused militancy with Rage’s...
