In this episode, we’re dragging one of the biggest demons in modern witchcraft straight into the light…
perfectionism.
The curse that keeps more baby witches stuck than any hex ever could.
WitchTok told you that you need a $2,000 altar, a moon-blessed chalice forged in dragon fire, twelve ethically sourced herbs, and a degree in “Aesthetic Witchcraft” before you can even light a candle.
And suddenly everyone’s stuck in preparation paralysis, hoarding supplies, binge-watching tutorials, and convincing themselves they’re “not ready yet.”
Meanwhile the ancestors are in the astral realm screaming:
“JUST START, BABE.”
In this hilariously feral episode, Auric and Jess rip apart the myth that you need to look like a cinematic sorceress before you’re allowed to practice. We talk about the trap of performative spirituality, the comparison curse, and how social media glam has tricked so many witches into thinking witchcraft is a vibe instead of a practice.
We break down:
• Why perfectionism is the ego’s sneakiest form of self-sabotage
• How WitchTok aesthetics derail real magick
• Simple, zero-cost ways to start your practice TODAY
• Why messy magick is the most powerful magick
• The difference between studying the craft and actually doing the craft
• And the spiritual revolution that starts when you stop performing and start practicing
If you’ve ever felt “not witch enough,” this episode is your cosmic permission slip to dive in, get your hands dirty, burn the rulebook, and reclaim your craft from the algorithm’s chokehold.
Because here at Witches Wild…
good witches aren’t perfect, they’re powerful.

What is Witches Wild?
Witches Wild is the podcast for witches who are done being told what their power should look like.
Hosted by Auric Blackwood, psychic medium, bone thrower, emotional alchemist, and witch, who built an eight figure brand, coached thousands of high level executives to obliterate their limits... now channels all of that power into the work he was always meant to do.
The power was never in the two thousand dollar altar. It was never in the aesthetic. It was never in the Instagram feed or the perfectly curated spiritual persona or the guru telling you what to believe.
It has always been in YOU!
Witches Wild is where Auric shares his own witch journey in real time. The shadow work. The ancestral downloads. The bone casting and the tarot and the moments that crack everything open. The conversations with witches who walk the crooked path and have the wisdom to prove it. And yes, the rabbit holes. Because a sovereign witch is an awake witch and an awake witch cannot be controlled.
This is witchcraft without the bullshit. No gatekeeping. No performative spirituality. No beige filtered version of magick that keeps you scrolling instead of practicing.
Just the craft. The truth. And the moment you realize you were the source of the power all along.
Come for the tea. Leave knowing exactly who you are.
Because witches are not burning anymore...we are the ones lighting the match!
