Witches Wild

Before you touch spellwork, open yourself up psychically, or start playing in the unseen… learn protection.

In this episode of Witches Wild, we take you out of the broom closet and into nature at one of our favorite waterfall spots to talk about one of the most important foundations of the craft: PROTECTION MAGIC.

Because let’s be real…
Too many people want the spells, the candles, the glamour, the rituals, the aesthetics.

But if you don’t know how to protect your energy first, you can absolutely wreck yourself in this work.

In this episode we talk about:
 • why protection should come before spellwork
 • signs your energy might need protecting
 • fear loops, spiritual paranoia, and why not everything is a curse
 • energetic circles vs ceremonial circle casting
 • connecting with land spirits and making offerings
 • one of Auric’s simple, powerful protection rituals
 • oils, black salt, bay leaf, intention, and protective fire

This is witchcraft without the bullshit.
No 800 ingredients. No performance. No overcomplication.

Just real protection, real practice, and real magic.

If you’re new to the craft, start here.
If you’ve been practicing for years and got lazy with your wards, start here too.

And as always…
you are always safe here.

What is Witches Wild?

The spell is only the beginning, my darlings… what happens after the spell is cast?

Welcome to Witches Wild, the podcast where witchcraft meets real life.

Hosted by Auric Blackwood; psychic medium, bone thrower, emotional alchemist, coach, and witch, Witches Wild is where we go beyond the ritual and into the transformation. Because anyone can teach you the spell. Anyone can tell you what herb to burn, what candle to light, what moon to wait for, or what crystal to carry. But almost nobody is asking the question that actually matters…

Now what?

What happens after the prosperity ritual? What happens after the cord cutting? What happens after the tarot reading, the manifestation journal, the shadow work, the ceremony, or the spell? Because magic isn’t just about what happens around you. It’s about who you’re becoming because of it. Around here, we don’t chase perfection or perform spirituality for Instagram. We don’t gatekeep the craft, sell you a fantasy, or pretend your power lives in a two-thousand-dollar altar.

Your power has always lived in you.

Each week, Auric shares honest conversations on witchcraft, self-alchemy, spirituality, tarot, bone casting, magic, symbolism, mindset, and what it actually looks like to live an enchanted life long after the candle burns out. Along the way, you’ll hear stories from remarkable practitioners, teachers, and modern witches who have forged their own path instead of following someone else’s.

This isn’t a podcast about escaping your life. It’s about creating one that feels like magic.

Come for the tea. Stay for the transformation.
