Authors

Alan Odin

Founding Editor

Alan Odin is the founding editor of Alchemy Expert and the author of 11 Laws of Inner Alchemy. He writes about the alchemists, the Hermetic tradition, and the ideas that outlived the laboratory.

Mara Vance covers consciousness, psychedelics, and dreams. She follows the research where it is solid, says so where it is not, and keeps a soft spot for the experiments that should never have been approved.

Lalita Hayes

Contributing Editor, Mysticism

Lalita Hayes writes about mysticism, the dharma traditions, and the sky. She is the author of Everyday Practices for a Magical Life and is interested in what contemplatives actually did, day to day, more than what was later said about them.

Tobias Wren

Strange History Correspondent

Tobias Wren covers strange history and folklore: secret societies, unreadable books, and legends that turn out to be younger than everyone thinks. He checks the story against the record and reports which parts survive.
