Hey Gang!

Welcome to Weird Web Radio!

This episode features Thumper Forge. Thumper quickly became one of my favorite people on TikTok when I started using that clock app more. In fact, if you're curious, I've started putting up some videos on there as I fugure out how to use it. Thumper and I get nostalgic and go down the road of what it was like in the 90's Witchcraft and Pagan sphere. We get into culutral appropriation, Satanic Panic, chaos magick, experiments in magick, Doscordianism, and so much more! Ah, and you are going to here some truth about Wicca. Worry not, it's history and there's some cool stuff there too!

THUMPER'S BIO:

Thumper (Horkos) Marjorie Splitfoot Forge is a Gardnerian High Priest, an initiate of the Minoan Brotherhood, a Discordian Episkopos, a recovering alcoholic, and a notary public from Houston, Texas. His first book, Virgo Witch: Divining the Details, co-authored with Ivo Dominguez, Jr., was released by Llewellyn Publications in November 2023 (and is available for here). His latest book, The Chaos Apple: Magic and Discordianism for the Postmodern Witch, will be released by Llewellyn in November 2025.

By day, he manages a leather and fetishwear shop, and by night, he dabbles in chaos magic, offers geomantic and lithomantic readings, and blogs irreverently. His 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).

Hey Gang!

Welcome to Weird Web Radio!

This episode features Bat Collazo! Bat is one of my favorite humans in life, and I'm honored to call Bat my friend!

SUPER IMPORTANT - CONTENT WARNING - Discussion including the topics of child sexual abuse, and association with known predators happens around the one hour mark. There is also an audio content warning before it begins so you can be informed for your own safety. This is all part of the discussion concerning the Troth's removal of Diana Paxson. At no point in this conversation is Diana Paxson accused of any crimes. At the time of this episode release there is also no public response from Diana Paxson concerning Bat's allegations or The Troth's removal. 

Bat and I first dig into ghosts and hauntings! Then we have to chat about Loki and family! We get into magic, ritual, and all kinds of fun rabbit holes. The discussion does include a section concerning Bat's role and experiences concering xer enormous integrity and courage as the whistleblower in The Troth's removal of Diana Paxson in 2024. See the content warning above. 

BAT'S BIO:

Bat Collazo is a queer, multiracial Heathen, Pagan, and witch, with lifelong enthusiasm and close to 15 years of active practice. As an animist, the core of Bat's practice is relationality with others and Others as complex, real people with agency. Bat strives to resist authoritarianism, abuse, and oppression, and to help build freer, healthier ways of being. Bat's magical focus includes but is not limited to Germanic spirituality, traditional fairies, the dead, and the land, with formal, oathed commitments to the Norse god Loki, Robin Goodfellow, and the folkloric Jack. Bat is a published author and poet, the editor of Blood Unbound: A Loki Devotional, and a work-in-progress classical singer, which is, in part, a devotional act for Odin, giver of breath.
