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.

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.

(A barefoot philosopher’s reflection) The kettle clicks off, and I let it sit. No rush. Let the steam linger. Let the silence finish its sentence. I used to panic in moments like this—these little gaps in usefulness, where no task was being completed, no goal moved closer. I’d reach for...
Welcome to the first of what I hope will be many Wisdom Walks! I’m diving back into vlogging and couldn’t think of a better way to do it than combining it with my love for wandering, questions, and synchronicity. In this series, I’ll be exploring the landscape—both within and around...
