Siri and Cassandra share some of the kinds of magic that they associate with the different seasons of the year, give advice on how to practice that magic, and we also talk about our own personal holidays.

   The Chaos Apple with Thumper Forge

   Thumper Forge is a Gardnerian High Priest, an initiate of the Minoan Brotherhood, a Discordian Episkopos, and a notary public from Houston, Texas. Their first book, Virgo Witch: Divining the Details was co-authored with Ivo Dominguez, Jr. and was released by Llewellyn Publications in November 2023. Their latest book, The Chaos Apple: Magic and Discordianism for the Postmodern Witch, was released by Llewellyn in November 2025. By day, Thumper manages a leather and fetishwear shop, and by night, they dabble in chaos magic, offer geomantic and lithomantic readings, and blog irreverently for Patheos Pagan. Their essays have previously appeared in The Gorgon’s Guide to Magical Resistance (Revelore Press, 2022) and Modern Witchcraft with the Greek Gods: History, Insights & Magickal Practice (Llewellyn Publications, 2022).

   Spirit Contact 101

   One of the things that people just starting out in their magical journey get a little afraid of is spirit contact. But sometimes it's just fun to have ghost friends, so why not explore it when you feel ready? In this episode Siri and Cassandra talk about many different kinds of spirit contact, different boundaries to draw around that contact, and we share a few stories of different scrapes we've been in and how we've made it out of them. This one's a long one, so make sure to grab your favorite beverage and sit down to relax.

   Let's Bring the Glamour (Magic)

   Get out your makeup brushes, your chest binders, and your most fabulous outfits and let's talk all things Glamour Magic! It might sound like a very niche area of witchcraft, but we wanted to talk about it in the first season of Chaos and Cunning because it is so so so useful from a body liberation, queer liberation perspective. In this episode Cassandra and Siri talk about many different ways and reasons to do glamour magic - and some of them may surprise you.

   Discernment, Baby!

   Discernment is one of the most important tools a witch can use, and it can be difficult to develop discernment on your own. Siri and Cassandra wanted to talk about discernment early in the podcast to make sure that as you listen and develop your own practice, you have some tools to develop your own discerning abilities.
