Witches Wild

Think Christmas is a Christian holiday?
Cool story. Now let’s talk about where it actually came from.

In this episode of Witches Wild, we rip the tinsel off Christmas and expose how many of the traditions people swear are “holy” were lifted straight from pagan and witchcraft practices… and then rebranded, sanitized, and weaponized against the very people who created them.

We’re breaking down:
 • Why December 25th has nothing to do with the birth of Jesus
 • How Yule, Saturnalia, and the Winter Solstice were absorbed and repackaged
 • The real origins of trees, wreaths, lights, mistletoe, feasting, and gift-giving
 • How pagan rituals were demonized after being stolen
 • Why witches were persecuted for practicing the same traditions now called “Christmas spirit”

This isn’t about hate.
It’s about history, context, and reclaiming truth.

If you’ve ever felt gaslit by religion, confused by spiritual holidays, or sensed something was off about the Christmas narrative, this episode will connect a LOT of dots.

Come for the receipts.
Stay for the righteous rage, the laughter, and the liberation.

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.
