Angela's Symposium

Dr Angela Puca's YouTube channel. Academic study of esotericism, witchcraft, paganism, and shamanism, with interviews of practitioners including chaos magicians. Best source on YouTube for rigorous, footnoted treatment of the subject.

Principia Discordia

The Discordian holy text by Greg Hill (Malaclypse the Younger) and Kerry Thornley (Lord Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst), with a foreword by Robert Anton Wilson in later editions. Not chaos magic proper but essential context. Most chaos magicians have read it; many were radicalized by it.

Ramsey Dukes on YouTube

Lionel Snell's short video essays in the Ramsey Dukes voice. Meditations on the philosophy of magic, many of them filmed outdoors in a field. Quiet, dry, essential.

T.A.Z.: The Temporary Autonomous Zone

Hakim Bey's 1991 manifesto on ontological anarchism and fleeting zones of autonomy. Not magic, but adjacent. Near universal reading in the 90s and early 2000s chaos magic scene; its fingerprints are on much of the practice that followed.

Weird Studies

Academic and philosophical podcast hosted by Phil Ford and J. F. Martel. Not a chaos magic show, but the frame of mind is adjacent. The weird, the occult, divination, and the limits of rational thought. Many chaos magicians list it as a regular listen.
