And we are back with a short fireside episode for your spooky season enjoyment. This time centered on the Hex Cat of Pennsylvania!

We return finally, risen from the ashes of Alchemical Change with something new. The Hoosier Cunning Common Book is a monthly Almanac of folk tales, fairy tales, Majik, high strangeness, Astrology, Tarot, Movie Reviews, Philosophy, and useful household knowledge. We hope you will enjoy and support this endeavor as it means a lot to us.

Just joining in to contribute a short philosophy to the Aether! I hope all are doing well!

It has been a year full of change for us at IYHGYHE, much positive, although often spurred on by the negative. I recently re-read Jung's Seven Sermons to the Dead and saw it in a very different light than I believe I ever could have in the past. I document this here with a reading of the first four sermons as a type of New Years Celebration. In other news, the 2026 Practical Distillers and Alchemists Almanac is Available now here:

Keep an eye on www.thealchemistcabinet.com as it will be receiving extensive updates shortly. I intend to offer via the warehouse written charms and amulets, we will add artwork as a tab to explore, add direct links to podcasts and the One Piece At A Time Distilling Institute YouTube, and we will finish the Oracle deck this year (finally) and offer some merchandise featuring my original Artwork this year!

There is within a commercial for the Practical Distillers and Alchemists Almanac for 2026 which we still unfortunately do not have on hand. It should arrive any time and I will update both www.thealchemistcabinet.com and our One Piece At A Time YouTube channel once we have it on hand.

Please have a happy and safe New Year, and never forget who you set out to be as a child. It is still in there!

Oh, you know, just being weird and celebrating the Solstice with stories as one is supposed to do!

On these dark and cold nights it would seem we have forgotten their purpose. We used to gather around the fire and tell stories, of better and of worse times. Of heroes and myths and monsters. I wish that would come back, so I am participating to the best of my ability. Here you will find a recounting of the Brothers Grimm 'The Golden Bird' and two new Black Forest inspired poems; "She Paints Flowers" inspired by Persephone and "Sentient Shadow" about the phenomenon most commonly called Dog Man.

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!
