For the first episode of Fringe Religion, your host Zelda Reed talks with documentary filmmaker, author, zine virtuoso, and alchemist Brian Cotnoir to delve into the many meanings of alchemy. From Jungian psychology to Pythagoras hotboxing caves, we get into the checkered history of transmutation and riff on the revolutionary and everyday applications of this philosophy.
