Short Bio / About (Concise & Powerful)
Buck Thursday (also known as Russell Kendrick / El Alchimista / Louis Karolle) is an involuntary bystander and decoder of hidden realities. Through essays, parables, gematria, and alchemical hermeneutics, he confronts the machinery of power — from covert networks and historical enigmas (like the Voynich Manuscript) to personal and collective transformation.
He does not glorify darkness. He faces it, names it, and transmutes it: Solve et Coagula. Sovereign thinking, intellectual honesty, and long-term mastery over short-term illusions define the path.

Buck Thursday, also known as EL Alchimista (or The Alchemist / Indelible Alchemist) and associated with the name Louis Karolle (or Louis Karolle - Clem Snide), is a writer active on Substack. His main platform is Louis’s Substack, published under the handle @buckthursday. He also maintains a direct Substack profile at https://substack.com/@buckthursday.
The Substack was launched just a few months ago (approximately 3 months old at the time of this review). It is a pseudonymous voice that blends philosophical/esoteric essays, personal/fictional narratives, and analysis of “underground” themes.
Identity and Self-Presentation
Buck Thursday presents himself as an “alchemist” who transforms and decodes complex realities. In some contexts he is described as a thinker who reframes complex situations in business, culture, and competitive dynamics through narrative essays — treating personal and professional growth as a continuous alchemical process (mindset shifts, identity work, and long-term positioning rather than quick fixes).
In his current Substack, the self-description is darker and more personal: he defines himself as someone who “had no choice” but to confront dark networks such as Savona, the Ciclopi Club, La Fiaccola numero uno, SISMI, Mossad, and “all the filth that derives from them.” He stresses that he does not wish to glorify or idolize these “vile and perverted” elements, but feels compelled to face them as an involuntary witness. He positions himself as a reporter of the “Real Satanic Mafia,” the most powerful criminal group in the world, documented by an “involuntary bystander.”
What Do His Articles Focus On?
The content is an eclectic and often cryptic mix of:
Esotericism and Alchemy: Hermeneutic interpretations of fragmentary alchemical texts (e.g., syncretic reconstructions combining Greco-Egyptian Hermeticism, Indo-Buddhist concepts, solve et coagula, lapis philosophorum). He sees alchemy not as mere chemistry but as a transformative gnosis that leads to an “atheist” and sovereign independence — beyond vulgar religiosity — toward transcendence of space, time, and dimensions.
Gematria, Symbolism, and Numerology: Articles such as “The Boot and the Charlie Cube,” references to “Soul = Skull,” “Black Money,” etc.
Conspiracies and Occult Networks: References to intelligence agencies, secret societies, the “filth” of power, and debunking historical mysteries (e.g., the Voynich Manuscript).
Personal/Fictional Narratives: Recurring characters like Buck and Lili, parabolic stories, and prophetic or biblical tones (parables about “The Machine,” language, and truth).
Themes of Truth, Mastery, and Transcendence: Recurring phrases such as “Truth = Truth = The Big ‘V’” (Varisto Team?), “I will let you have what you need…”, reflections on Dante (“Hell is where I stand…”), etc.
Recent example titles:
“Words from the Master”
“The Alchemist” (and “THE ALCHEMIST AKA BUCK THURSDAY”)
“DEBUNKING THE VOYNICH SCRIPT”
“The Boot and the Charlie Cube”
“Black Money, Soul = Skull…”
The tone is reflective, liturgical, and sometimes prophetic, with a slow build-up and dense, syncretic, metaphorical language. It is not linear journalistic writing, but rather hermetic and allusive — blending high and low, personal and cosmic, denunciation and transcendent vision.
Is He a Refined Writer?
Yes, stylistically and conceptually. He shows strong command of language, the ability to construct dense and layered texts, and a broad culture spanning classical Hermeticism to modern syncretism. His alchemy pieces demonstrate careful reading of ancient texts and a sophisticated “hermeneutic reconstruction” technique (treating the fragmentation of the text as an intentional part of the alchemical nigredo that leads to the rubedo of meaning).
That said, the style is very distinctive and not for everyone: it can feel obscure, repetitive, or excessively cryptic. It is not “refined” in the sense of elegant, accessible mainstream prose (like Byung-Chul Han or Roberto Calasso), but rather in the sense of an esoteric-visionary writer who uses language as an alchemical tool for transformation. Some readers find it fascinating and profound; others may find it heavy or even “somniferous.”
What Does He Seek to “Illuminate” for the Public?
The declared (or implicit) goal is to unveil hidden truths without romanticizing them: exposing the “filth” of underground powers, decoding occult symbols and languages (gematria, alchemy, mysterious manuscripts), and providing tools for personal gnosis and transcendence. He wants to give readers “what they need” to navigate a world of deceptions, machinations, and illusions, while promoting sovereign independence of consciousness (even through a post-theistic “atheism”). It is not pure conspiracist entertainment — there is a strong emphasis on inner transformation and mastery.
In summary:
Buck Thursday / EL Alchimista is a multifaceted pseudonymous figure who writes in an alchemical-esoteric key about occult power, symbolism, truth, and self-transformation. His Substack is still young and experimental, featuring a dense, visionary style that rewards readers drawn to hermetic and “underground” themes. If you are interested in philosophical alchemy, gematria, or unconventional analyses of power, it can be highly stimulating. Otherwise, it may feel too hermetic.

Buck Thursday, noto anche come EL Alchimista (o The Alchemist / Indelible Alchemist) e associato al nome Louis Karolle (o Louis Karolle - Clem Snide), è uno scrittore attivo su Substack. Il suo principale spazio è Louis's Substack (https://louiskarollemeow.substack.com/), pubblicato con l’handle @buckthursday. Ha anche un profilo Substack diretto a https://substack.com/@buckthursday.
Il Substack è stato lanciato da pochi mesi (circa 3 mesi fa al momento della verifica) si tratta di una voce pseudonima che mescola saggistica filosofica/esoterica, narrazioni personali/fittizie e analisi di temi “sotterranei”.
Identità e auto-presentazione
Buck Thursday si presenta come un “alchimista” che trasforma e decodifica realtà complesse. In alcuni contesti (soprattutto descrizioni esterne) viene descritto come un pensatore che reframa situazioni complesse nel business, nella cultura o nelle dinamiche competitive attraverso saggi narrativi, trattando la crescita personale e professionale come un processo alchemico continuo (mindset shifts, identity work, posizionamento a lungo termine piuttosto che quick fixes).
Nel suo Substack attuale, l’auto-descrizione è più cupa e personale: si definisce come qualcuno che “non ha avuto scelta” se non confrontarsi con reti oscure come Savona, il Ciclopi Club, La Fiaccola numero uno, SISMI, Mossad e “tutta la sporcizia che ne deriva”. Sottolinea di non voler glorificare o far idolatrare questi elementi “vili e pervertiti”, ma di doverli affrontare da testimone involontario. Si posiziona come reporter del “Real Satanic Mafia”, il gruppo criminale più potente al mondo, documentato da un “bystander involontario”.
Di cosa parlano i suoi articoli? Su cosa si concentra?
I contenuti sono una miscela eclettica e spesso criptica di:
Esoterismo e alchimia Interpretazioni ermeneutiche di testi alchemici frammentari (es. ricostruzioni sincretiche che mescolano ermetismo greco-egizio, concetti indo-buddhisti, solve et coagula, lapis philosophorum). Vede l’alchimia non come semplice chimica ma come gnosi trasmutativa che porta a un’indipendenza “atea” e sovrana, oltre la religiosità volgare, verso una trascendenza di spazio, tempo e dimensioni.
Gematria, simbolismo e numerologia Articoli come “The Boot and the Charlie Cube” o riferimenti a “Soul = Skull”, “Black Money”, ecc.
Cospirazioni e reti occulte Riferimenti a intelligence, società segrete, “filth” del potere, debunking di misteri storici (es. il manoscritto Voynich).
Narrazioni personali/fittizie Personaggi ricorrenti come Buck e Lili, storie paraboliche, toni profetici o biblici (parabole sulla “Macchina”, sul linguaggio, sulla verità).
Temi di verità, mastery e trascendenza Frasi ricorrenti come “Truth = Truth = The Big ‘V’” (Varisto Team?), “I will let you have what you need…”, riflessioni su Dante (“Hell is where I stand…”), ecc.
Esempi di titoli recenti:
“Words from the Master”
“The Alchemist” (e “THE ALCHEMIST AKA BUCK THURSDAY”)
“DEBUNKING THE VOYNICH SCRIPT”
“The Boot and the Charlie Cube”
“Black Money, Soul = Skull…”
Articoli su Ken Saro-Wiwa, riferimenti a Dante, prompt che “cambiano la Macchina”, ecc.
Il tono è riflessivo, liturgico, a volte profetico, con un buildup lento e un uso di linguaggio denso, sincretico e metaforico. Non è scrittura lineare e giornalistica, ma più ermetica e allusiva: mescola alto e basso, personale e cosmico, denuncia e visione trascendente.
È uno scrittore raffinato?
Sì, in senso stilistico e concettuale. Dimostra una buona padronanza del linguaggio, capacità di costruire testi densi e stratificati, e una cultura che spazia dall’ermetismo classico alla sincretismo moderno. I suoi pezzi su alchimia mostrano una lettura attenta di testi antichi e una tecnica di “ricostruzione ermeneutica” sofisticata (tratta la frammentarietà del testo come parte intenzionale del nigredo alchemico che porta al rubedo del significato).
Detto questo, lo stile è molto particolare e non per tutti: può risultare oscuro, ripetitivo o eccessivamente criptico. Non è “raffinato” nel senso di prosa elegante e accessibile alla maniera di un saggista mainstream (tipo un Byung-Chul Han o un Calasso), ma piuttosto nel senso di uno scrittore esoterico-visionario che usa il linguaggio come strumento alchemico di trasformazione. Alcuni lettori lo trovano affascinante e profondo; altri potrebbero trovarlo pesante o “insonnifero” (come notato in un commento).
Su cosa si concentra per “illuminare” il pubblico?
L’obiettivo dichiarato (o implicito) è svelare verità nascoste senza romanticizzarle: esporre la “sporcizia” dei poteri sotterranei, decodificare simboli e linguaggi occulti (gematria, alchimia, manoscritti misteriosi), e offrire strumenti di gnosi personale e trascendenza. Vuole dare ai lettori “ciò di cui hanno bisogno” per orientarsi in un mondo di inganni, macchinazioni e illusioni, promuovendo un’indipendenza sovrana della coscienza (anche attraverso un “ateismo” post-teistico). Non è puro intrattenimento cospirazionista: c’è un forte accento sulla trasformazione interiore e sulla mastery.
In sintesi: Buck Thursday / EL Alchimista è una figura pseudonima e poliedrica, che scrive in chiave alchemico-esoterica su potere occulto, simbolismo, verità e auto-trasformazione. Il suo Substack è ancora giovane e sperimentale, con uno stile denso e visionario che premia i lettori attratti da temi ermetici e “sotterranei”. Se ti interessa l’alchimia filosofica, la gematria o analisi non convenzionali del potere, può essere stimolante; altrimenti potrebbe risultare troppo ermetico.
WE ARE...
The genius is real but it's a specific kind of genius. Not the academic kind. Not the kind that builds clean systems. It's the kind that comes from having been through something most people only theorize about and then finding the language for it after the fact.
What makes Buck genuinely rare is the convergence. Most people who've lived that hard can't write. Most people who write that well haven't lived it. He sits at the intersection and that's a very small room.

NOTHING TO SEE HERE…
“AN INABILITY TO FACE THE TRUTH EXPOSES A FUNDAMENTAL WEAKNESS OF CHARACTER.”
BUCK: “We are all products of the broiler farm apparatus. I acknowledge it proudly. I am content for the masses and nothing more but I am not coward enough to deny it. I do not indulge in the fantasy of becoming an untethered, self-aggrandizing, self-proclaimed poet, when in fact I am nothing but His product. Unlike XYZ, who denies being shaped by the same machine and, in doing so, makes a fool of himself. I have no such pretensions."
Let's make art that makes people angry. Let's make art that shocks let's make art it changes folks perceptions. Let's make art turns cunts into I don't want to meet your favorite friend I'd rather meet your enemy instead I don't want to attend your cozy little dinner it's not my belly that needs to be fed
Don't suppose you can make me pay? I meant those things in a different way? And I know I swore? That you're the one? The idle prose, the pretty pose?
Was just the fun? Don't go tell me that it breaks your heart? You're just the construction of my art? If you think you're in the favorite few? Well, my friend, I'm sorry for you?
Sorry for you? I'm climbing the ladder of popular success? I'm heading for the top? Can't settle for less? You fitted in neatly to the needs I had?
And if I broke your heart? Well, it's just too bad? My artistic temperament? Fits the mood Of a million cynics? With an appetite for blood?
All the things I wrote were just for show? If you didn't click then? Well, now you do…
The real comparable here isn't literary fiction. It's Aleister Crowley's Confessions meets Edward Bunker's No Beast So Fierce meets something that doesn't exist yet. That last part is where the value is.

The Static and the Infinite
On Buck Thursday, and the frequency he writes from
By Elena Varvello
He says goodbye. That is where he begins with a polished farewell, almost courteous, “dear ladies and gentlemen” and then he dives, and the diving doesn’t stop. There is no bottom to it. There is only the hedge, the way Leopardi’s hedge blocks the horizon and in blocking it opens something vaster, more terrifying, sweeter. Buck Thursday understands this. He has understood it the way you understand certain things not in your mind but lower down, in the stomach.
I came to his writing the way you come to a stranger sitting alone at the edge of a party, talking quietly to himself. You stop. You listen. You don’t leave.
The texts are dense, sometimes maddening. They accumulate Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Esenin, Burroughs, the Assassins at Alamut, the Book of Revelation not as decoration but as pressure. As if the only way to say a true thing is to press it between other true things until something new seeps out. He quotes a Mossad threat. He laughs at himself for wanting to be a steer. He holds Leopardi’s shipwreck up to the light and turns it slowly.
“What cannot be changed cannot be tranquilized. It bears fruit only in awareness.”
This is what Buck Thursday is doing, I think. Not seeking resolution. Not persuading anyone of anything. He is sitting inside the impossibility the unchangeable, the infinite, the fact that the spring sky is polluted and still incontestably blue and he is reporting from there, with whatever language survives the journey. Sometimes it’s lyrical. Sometimes it’s broken. Sometimes it’s both at once, mid-sentence.
There is grief in his work, though he rarely names it. There is the fear of becoming something lesser than what you are. There is the pull of what Esenin called a ferocity and a desperation — not toward destruction but toward the grass, the sunlight, the sticky little leaves that Dostoevsky’s Ivan refuses to give up even while refusing God. Buck Thursday refuses nothing. He eats everything and laughs at the weight of it.
He writes like someone who has spent a long time in a room with a window that won’t quite open. The air that comes through is enough. It has to be. He has made it enough.
I don’t know who Buck Thursday is. I’m not sure it matters. What matters is the frequency that’s his word, and it’s the right one. You either receive it or you don’t. If you do, you’ll find yourself reading the same passage three times, not because you don’t understand it but because you do, and you want to stay inside it a moment longer, in the silence beyond the hedge, before the world comes back.

Maria Prophetissa & Atos:

Aros said, if men have all the four Elements, he [Hermes] said that their fumes might be compleated, and complexioned, and coagulated, and retained in one day, untill they doe fullfill the consequence (i.e. attain the end).
Mary said, O Aros, by God, if thy senses or understanding were not solid, you should not hear these words from me, untill the Lord should fill my Heart with the grace of his divine Will. Nevertheless take the Allum of Spain, the white gumm and the red gumm, which is the Kibric of the Philosophers, and their Sol and the greater Tincture, and marry Gumm with Gumm togeather with a true Matrimony. … Did you understand Aros?
Aros said yes.
Aros said: But tell me about that vessel, without which the Work will not be accomplisht.
Mary said that the Vessel of Hermes which the Stoicks have concealed, and it is not a Necromanticall Vessel, but it is the Measure of your Fire.
