If You Have Ghosts You Have Everything...

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 Alc...

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. I will release the second half this coming weekend....

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; "Sh...

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 am...

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 dat...

What if a Faustian deal backfires on ol' Scratch himself, at least initially? A little folklore from Ireland.

On tonight's Spooky Season Bonus Episode we skim the depths of Djinn folklore as an introduction to a much deeper dive planned for later this season. Keep your eyes peeled on www.thealchemistcabinet.com as the brand new 2026 Practical Distillers Almanac will be dropping very soon!

It isn't often I just talk candidly about my form of Majik on the show, but this one just fits. We explore the Majik (SIC) of using an old Skeleton Key as a talisman and pendulum in the Vevay Indiana Cemetary to find the grave and access the knowledge of the spirit of an Absinthe Distiller in the 1830's!

A fun narrative reading of "The Well At Worlds End" , The Frog King, and The Frog prince. As always we enjoy reading a few Fairytales for Spooky Season because no one reads anyone enough Fairy Tales now days! Thank you guys for supporting Kim and I. We really love this show but could use some serious help promoting it to the world if at all possible! Please give us a like, share, and sub...

It seems to us like it is about time we got around to the topic of the Trickster on some deeper historic level here at IYHGYHE, considering the events surrounding the experiences that spurred this podcast in the first place detailed in episodes 2 and 3 of Season 1. We decided we would dedicate a couple of episodes to exposition thereof as well as a telling of some mythology (Greek and Navajo here)...

Hey! We are back, finally! In episode 1 of the newest season of IYHGYHE, we interview our neighbor to the west in Paoli, Indiana; Chance Martin, about his Bigfoot research group and upcoming events! This is a great episode as we haven't had a lot of Bigfoot related content over the years, and not for a lack of trying. Finding someone local with firsthand encounters who is actively researching...

Indiana is home to numerous paranormal groups. Tonight Kim is joined by Southern Indiana's own Access the Paranormal. Kim stumbled on their video on TikTok recording from Mitchell, Indiana, Spring Mill State Park. Danny joined Kim, and briefly Alan, to discuss paranormal investigation and their approach.

For about the past year I have been recording an occasional video from my porch diving into the deep distilling history of The Black Forest of Southern Indiana; stories of preacher-distillers, murders, mystery, and Spirits production in general. I thought that compiling them into a volume of IYHG might be a worthwhile endeavor and a fun listen. Understand that these were recorded on my porch from...
