Society handed you a blueprint for success and you followed it. You worked harder, made more money, got the things, achieved the status. And you were miserable.
This episode is for the witches (or anyone really) who have been burning themselves at the stake chasing a version of success that was never theirs to begin with. We are done with that. All of it.
We are talking about what success actually means when you strip away the conditioning, the industry noise, the hustle culture gospel, and the Instagram altar aesthetic that has nothing behind it. And we are giving you a ritual to burn the old definition down and build a new one from scratch.
Because you cannot pour from an empty cup. And you cannot build a life that feels good while you are living someone else's idea of what good looks like.
What we get into:
🔥 Why the version of success you are chasing might not even be yours
🔥 The Beltane shadow work exercise that cracked Auric wide open and rewrote his entire list
🔥 How society programs us to worship status, grind ourselves into dust, and call it ambition
🔥 The conversation with a 23 year old tattoo artist that turned into a coaching session with his younger self
🔥 Why high achieving entrepreneurs have some of the highest suicide rates and what that actually tells us
🔥 The difference between wanting four million dollars and wanting financial freedom
🔥 What the UK taught us about how differently humans can relate to work and identity
🔥 The two of swords tarot pull and exactly what it means for where you are right now
🔥 The ritual to define success on your own terms and burn the rest
This is not just a witchcraft episode. This one is for anyone who is exhausted, depleted, and quietly wondering if the life they are building is even the one they want.
Do the ritual. Burn the list. Start over.
And stay tuned...we have more inside the coven that goes even deeper into this work.

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.
