 * Arbitrary Skepticism: Styx is mostly skeptical of claims about the existence of lake monsters. This from a man who believes in magic, fairies, and the possible existence of the lost city of Atlantis.
 * Alternative Calendar: Has made a video where he talks about the Hindu and Mayan ideas of cycles of time: Yugas and Bak'tuns respectively.
 * Ars Goetia: Has referenced it on several occasions, has read it, and has edited several other Grimoires within the same "Solomonic" tradition.
 * ASMR: Styx has written a short tract on the subject, called "The Occult Basis of ASMR".
 * Apparently some of Styx's viewers consider his MRE videos to be a kind of ASMR.
 * Atlantis: Has done a video on the subject of it. He believes that Atlantis might have existed, but doesn't believe the Steampunk-esque visions of it put forward by people like Ignatius Donoly and Helena Blavatsky.
 * Big Name Fan: Of Sargon of Akkad, Computing Forever, Razorfist the Rageoholic, Stefan Molyneux, and Paul Joseph Watson.
 * Sargon is also a fan of Styx, and has recommended Styx's work to his viewers.
 * Styx himself is also a very vocal supporter of President Trump, and has made videos where talks about Trump's political decisions, and what he thinks of them personally.
 * Belief Makes You Stupid: Subverted. Styx is an Occultist, and Occultism is religion and philosophy, just not mainstream religion and philosophy. That said, he is not fond of religious fundamentalism.
 * Catchphrase: He opens every video with "Alright YouTube" or "Alright Everyone" (though his more recent videos begin with the latter more often than not), and closes every video with "That's about all. Peace out."
 * Deadpan Snarker: His signature style features heavy amounts of deadpanning.
 * Fanservice: Spends many videos with his shirt open.
 * Godwin's Law: Has often been falsely accused of being either a Nazi, a White Nationalist, or a member of the Alt-Right by S.J.W.s, mostly because he voted for Donald Trump,  even though he's anti-censorship and pro-free speech.
 * Ghostapo: The video "The Occult, Video 5: Nazi Occultism" is on the subject of Real Life Nazi Occultism.
 * Hippie Teacher: Subverted. While he looks like a hippie (long hair and a short goatee, round glasses, has taken drugs in the past, and has an interest in occultism and esotericism), and his style is quite academic, politically he's a libertarian.
 * Hollow Earth: Has made a video covering both this and the flat earth.
 * Hollywood Satanism: Averted. Styx himself is a former Satanist, and has made many videos explaining actual Satanism, and debunking common misconceptions about the religion.
 * Hermetic Magic: Styx has edited the works of Hermes Trismegistus, and released them in his own edition.
 * Know-Nothing Know-It-All: "The Occult Video 127: Beware the Fluff Bunnies" Covers "Fluff Bunnies", religious individuals both in and outside of the occult, who claim to be deeply knowledgeable on the subject, yet don't know anything about what they're talking about, and often trick people into believing various things which may or not be untrue.
 * Memetic Mutation: In his videos on the subject of "meme magick" and "occult synchronicity", Styx explains how this phenomenon combined with Hilarious in Hindsight feeds into the occult.
 * *Spoon Clank*. This meme exists because Styx is often shown drinking black coffee in his videos (with the spoon still in the mug), and the spoon clanks as he lifts up the mug and drinks from it.
 * "I want a Styxhexenhammer plushie." --This is something frequently said by fans in Styx's comment section. Styx has acknowledged this meme, and personally finds it hilarious,thinking that the idea of a plush-toy of him is in and of itself amusing.
 * New Age Retro Hippie: Subverted. While Styx tends to look the part and hails from Vermont, home to a number of counterculture groups, he doesn't see himself as a hippie and has his own gripes with them. His political leanings are also decidedly libertarian.
 * POV Cam: His MRE videos are filmed from his perspective.
 * Our Devil Is Different: In "The Occult: Video 20: Satan Through The Ages", Styx talks about how varied portrayals of Satan have been throughout the centuries, ranging from Satan Is Good to The Devil Is a Loser.
 * Our Werewolves Are Different: The 152nd video in the "The Occult" series covers The Beast of Gevaudan, a large wolflike creature purported to have ravaged the countryside of Gevaudan, France for a brief period of time during the 1700's.
 * Smart People Wear Glasses: Styx wears a pair of round glasses.
 * Science Is Bad: Subverted. Styx states in "The Occult 132: The Liberty of Paganism, the Slavery of Abrahamism" that science is a good thing, but that science followed mindlessly and used for ill purposes can be just as bad as religious fundamentalism.
 * Sea Monster: "The Occult: Video 7: Lake Monsters and Aquatic Cryptids" is about lake versions of this trope. He's mostly skeptical of people claiming to have seen lake monsters.
 * Shout Out: The 2nd video in his video series on the subject of the Occult is "Real Occultism in the Harry Potter Series", where he tackles occult phenomena referenced in the Harry Potter series.
 * The 1st one is one on the subject of the Simon version of the Necronomicon.
 * The 43rd is "Runescape Gods".
 * Sliding Scale of Libertarianism and Authoritarianism: He's on the libertarian end of the spectrum.
 * Straw Feminist: Subverted. While Styx is anti-Feminism, and has made several videos criticizing Radical Feminism, he is well aware that there are many moderate Feminists out there, and that the Radicals are merely a very vocal and insane minority within the movement.
