This week on Witches Wild, we’re diving broom-first into the place where magick and mental health collide — the shadowy space no one in witchy TikTok wants to talk about.
Because here’s the truth:
Half the things people call “a curse” are really unprocessed trauma.
Half the things people call “intuition” are anxiety wearing a witch hat.
And half the things people call “awakening” are… well… a full-blown nervous system malfunction.
We’re breaking down:
• how to tell the difference between a spiritual message and your brain bullying you
• why mental health struggles DON’T disqualify you from witchcraft
• how witches throughout history worked with the mind, not against it
• why your intuition doesn’t work when your nervous system is on fire
• how to stop glamorizing suffering as “spiritual depth”
• and the real magick of healing your inner world before you cast a single spell
This is the episode that blends shadow work, somatics, sovereignty, science, and “holy shit, that explains my entire life.”
Witchcraft isn’t an escape from your mind — it’s a way to work with it.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this magick… or is this my mental health?”
We’re going there. All the way there.
Because being a witch doesn’t mean you’re broken.
It means you’re powerful — and you’re learning to hold that power with both hands.

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.
