Benjamin grew up on a farm and worked with plants and animals his whole life. He began studying the occult and theology at age 12. In his twenties he started practicing plant alchemy and earned two mechanics degrees as well as becoming an industrial electrician. He became a gemologist and owned a crystal store in his thirties before moving off grid. Then, he bought raw land in the mountains and built his own home. He installed off-grid power and a water system in his house and designed a perma-culture farm where he lives sustainably and grows his own medicine. He became part of the 'Eyes Open Network' about a year ago and started making Odins Alchemy. He ran 'thecauldron.net' and 'fringe tv' before leaving to work on his own. He now hosts a channel in his name on YouTube and 'Odinsalchemy' on Bitchute.
