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.

In this episode, I explore journaling as narrative alchemy, revealing how ancient alchemical stages map onto a powerful writing practice.
Here’s the original article: Journaling as Narrative Alchemy: Writing Your Way Into a New Self
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.
Mary K. Greer's seminal workbook transforms tarot from divination tool into technology for self-knowledge and narrative sovereignty. 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.

The web used to feel like a labyrinth made for wanderers. Clicking a hyperlink was like finding a secret door in a sprawling mansion. You never quite knew where it would take you— a rabbit hole of ideas, a treasure trove of forgotten knowledge, or maybe just a strange, lonely...
this slideshow is inspired by my recent purchase and wearing of the Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses. The idea of becoming a cyborg with devices like Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses lies in the symbiotic relationship between humans and technology that these devices foster. Unlike traditional tools that require conscious interaction—like a...
this is my alchemical language lab/experimental blogging playground after all… I approached this from a different angle yesterday, but I think this is closer to what I’m aiming for in 2025. I may also make some adjustments to the design and function so the blog supports my vision of blogging...
Somewhere between the scaffolding of story and the poetry of thought lies a landscape I’m yearning to explore. It’s a place where the personal and the theoretical intertwine, where the raw texture of life rubs against the abstraction of ideas. The blending of creative nonfiction and theoretical poetics—this hybrid, fragmented,...
In this episode, I’m out on a walk—my first good ramble in weeks—navigating the muddy fields and reflecting on life as we sit in this in-between time of Crimbo Limbo, that strange stretch between Christmas and New Year’s Eve. It’s a time I usually dedicate to reflecting, recalibrating, and looking...
There’s something about Charles Olson’s In Cold Hell, in Thicket that feels uncomfortably familiar, like stepping into a dense forest where every direction looks the same but somehow promises something different. For me, this poem isn’t just a piece of writing—it’s a mirror held up to the way I experience...
i am now returning—a phrase, a wound, a hinge on a doorhalf-hanging, rusted on promisesnever meant to keep. what is “now”but the afterbirth of once,slick with the memory of chaosand the shimmer of thingsalmost touched? returning implies departure,a before where the dust hung silent,where streets were namesand names were maps,not...
The idea hit me like a whisper from the cosmos: When there is no sense of ‘you,’ there is no way that ‘you’ can be separate from the rest of the universe. It wasn’t a conclusion, not even a realisation, really. It was more like a question wearing the mask...
These are wild secular times. It’s like we’re living in the disenchanted ruins of a world that forgot it used to believe in magic. Once, myths shaped the edges of our maps and infused the spaces between stars with gods and monsters. Now, we’ve GPS’d the mystery out of existence....
Blue Öyster Cult (BÖC) is one of those bands that straddles the line between rock, mysticism, and outright cosmic weirdness, creating a legacy that feels both timeless and delightfully out of this world. If you’ve ever heard “Don’t Fear the Reaper” wafting from a car stereo on a foggy night...
To be a reality hacker is to become an artisan of perception, an agent of transformation who sees the world not as it is but as it could be. Reality hacking, as a concept, is not about breaking systems for malicious intent but about reprogramming the lens through which we...
Somewhere between an invitation and a command, this phrase has been rattling around in my head lately: Go play with your brothers and sisters in the information tribe. It feels like a message from some digital oracle, an echo of a forgotten wisdom that knows no time. Maybe it’s a...
Editor’s Note As we are about to step into 2025, I’m unveiling a framework that stands at the intersection of personal transformation and practical power cultivation. Change Magick represents my synthesis of decades of exploration into human potential, combining insights from chaos magic, depth psychology, neuroscience, and postmodern philosophy. This...
Welcome, wanderer. You’ve stumbled upon something… different. A game, a journey, a dance with chaos itself. The Game:A riddle awaits. Solve it, and you’ll unlock the first step—a portal into The Trickster’s Leap. Each card in this game holds a task, an experiment, or a dare to step beyond the...
The Mirror of Echoes is a mystery play that explores the interplay between thought, language, and feeling—the fundamental threads that weave the fabric of human identity. Set in a surreal and liminal space where the physical and the metaphysical merge, the play invites its characters—and the audience—to confront the complexities...
It’s a curious thing to feel hopeful, wistful, and intent all at once. On the surface, these emotions seem like they belong to different worlds, tugging in opposing directions. Hope, with its buoyant energy, calls me forward into possibility. Wistfulness, tender and bittersweet, lingers in the doorways of my memory,...
What if the essence of reality isn’t matter or energy, but meaning itself? It’s a question that might sound like the beginning of a metaphysical rabbit hole—and it is—but it also carries profound implications for how we understand the universe, ourselves, and the mysterious connection between the two. What if...
My friends and I are gearing up for a Gamma World VTTRPG campaign, and I have the honour (and responsibility) of serving as the gamemaster. For those unfamiliar, Gamma World is a classic science-fantasy tabletop role-playing game with a long history of post-apocalyptic mayhem. Originally released in 1978, it’s a...
