The Files: Part 1

Enter at your own risk.

This is the episode where we stop playing nice.

The Files: Part 1 kicks off a 3-part series that dives into the darkest corners of the internet, the psychology of mass denial, and what happens when the stories people whisper about power, corruption, and control start showing up everywhere at once.

We talk about:
 • Why this topic hits like a truck (and why people avoid it)
 • How fear loops, desensitization, and “distraction culture” keep the public asleep
 • Cognitive dissonance, nervous system shutdown, and why truth can feel unbearable
 • The difference between “satanic panic,” scapegoating, and what actual occult frameworks are (and are not)
 • Why witches have always been threats to broken systems: because we see through the veil

This episode includes strong language and discussion of disturbing themes involving exploitation and violence. We do not soften the edges here. We also don’t do hopelessness. This series is not about spiraling, it’s about waking up and asking: what do we do with what we see?

If you’ve been feeling that pressure in the air, like reality is cracking open, you’re not alone.

Strap in, buttercup. The fire’s already spreading.

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.
