Profanity is moderate throughout the season. Words like 'damn,' 'hell,' and 'bitch' are used occasionally. The word 'fuck' is used less frequently but appears several times, primarily during moments of frustration or intense emotion. Dialogue also includes frank discussions of sex and occult practices using suggestive language.

Frequent depiction of casual drinking and smoking among characters. Absinthe is made and consumed. Peyote and other psychedelics are explicitly used within ritualistic contexts, leading to hallucinations and altered states of consciousness, with a focus on their mind-altering effects rather than recreational abuse. Characters are shown intoxicated from alcohol.

The season explores mature themes including occultism, cult-like behavior, and unconventional spirituality through Thelema. It delves into the breakdown of marital fidelity and the complexities of open relationships. Themes of ambition, scientific pursuit versus mystical belief, and psychological exploration through ritual are central. Psychological distress and manipulation are also undercurrents, particularly as Susan grapples with her husband's involvement and her own past traumas resurface.
