Witches Wild

What’s the difference between a Grimoire and a Book of Shadows?
In this episode of Witches Wild, Auric and Jess break down one of the most confusing beginner witch questions and make it finally make sense.

We’re talking about what a Book of Shadows actually is, what belongs in a Grimoire, how to use both in your craft, and why neither of them needs to be perfect, aesthetic, expensive, or Instagram-ready to be powerful.

This episode is part witchcraft teaching, part permission slip, and part real-time conversation about shadow work, old timelines, nervous system spirals, and what it actually looks like to stop dragging the past into your new chapter.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, intimidated, or stuck when it comes to starting your magical practice, this one will help you breathe, simplify it, and just begin.

Inside this episode:
✨ the difference between a Grimoire and a Book of Shadows
✨ how Auric personally uses both
✨ why your Book of Shadows is your witch workbook
✨ why your Grimoire should hold your tried-and-true magick
✨ how perfectionism blocks the craft
✨ why messy magick is still magick
✨ a real conversation on shadow work, healing loops, and reclaiming your power

Your craft does not have to look polished to be real.
It just has to be yours.

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.
