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 isn’t a just podcast. It’s a rebellion dressed as entertainment.
Hosted by Auric Blackwood and Jess Coale, two witches who burned their old lives to light a new world, this show drags you out of the matrix and drops you straight into your power.
This is where witchcraft gets raw, awakening gets hilarious, and conspiracies actually start to make sense.
We’re exposing the lies, reclaiming the word witch, and teaching you how to stop performing spirituality and actually live it.
We talk lore, history, shadow work, bone casting, somatics, the patriarchy’s bullshit, the church’s theft, and the magic that’s been in your blood the whole damn time.
Come for the tea. Stay for the transformation.
Because in the new age of witches
we’re not the ones burning
we’re the ones holding the matches.
And if you’re wondering… yes.
This podcast WILL make your pastor uncomfortable.
Your mother-in-law nervous.
And at least one ex send you a “hey, stranger” message after episode three.
This is witchcraft without the beige filter.
Awakening without the spiritual ego.
Magick with a side of “holy shit did they just say that?”
So buckle up, babe.
Grab your broom, your latte, or your trauma blanket.
Because Witches Wild is here to entertain you, educate you, and possibly ruin Christmas dinner conversations forever.
