About this listen

 Alan Bishop, The Alchemist of Indiana's Black Forest region takes a hard lefthand path into the Heather to present first-hand supernatural accounts that have shaped his Alchemical workings. On "If you have ghosts you have everything" we will delve deep into the supernatural, the occult, the Fortean, folk Majik, history, stories from friends and listeners, and history to reveal the not so hidden "veil" between our perceived reality and what might exist just slightly out of sight.Alan Bishop Spirituality

  • Painting Heroes In The Sky: New mythology for a new day

    Painting Heroes In The Sky: New mythology for a new day
    Nov 24 2025

    Back again with a new episode! Tonight we dive once more into creative writing. Here I lay out three new pieces of mythology which I am working on for the 2027 Practical Distillers and Alchemist Almanac. There are elements of the Black Forest Fairytales of the last episode but also elements of the celestial and divine order.


    This is something I truly enjoy writing and narrating. Your support is amazing in this work and I cannot thank you enough.


    The 2026 almanac should be available for order in the coming week! Keep an eye on www.thealchemistcabinet.com for more information!


    Enjoy!

  • Where Limits Meet The Liminal: Hoosier Black Forest Fairytales and Poems

    Where Limits Meet The Liminal: Hoosier Black Forest Fairytales and Poems
    Nov 10 2025

    Hey guys, I hope you all had a wonderful Spooky Season as we at IYHGYHE did! I have been working on a number of books including the 2027 Practical Distillers Almanac and have become quite taken with writing fairytales and poems expressing the Majik of this place where I live. I decided to narrate a few of these for you this evening. To be quite honest this is by far my most personal episode to date and I think represents the purist expression of my thoughts as of yet to be represented to the public.


    We all have limits and boundaries to overcome in life and I think I may have found a way to overcome mine and bring the various disperate pieces together into a cohesive whole in coming years. I do hope you will enjoy them and please, please share them. They will all see some published form in the near future. Here you will hear a folk tale about a hidden fountain that produces ardent spirits with the help of a Clurichon. Folk Majik I leaned from my grandparents. A poem about a folk distiller on the edge of town. How the highway meets the sky in the Black Forest, and my personal favorite, Felix, the maybe friendly feral, feline, familiar!


    A huge thank you to my friend Stephen Smith for inspiring me to pursue this path.

    1. The Forbidden Kind

    2. A Step At A Time

    3. Where The Highway Meets The Sky

    4. The Sovereign Man

    5. Felix; the maybe friendly, feral, feline, familiar.
