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 is the podcast for witches who are done being told what their power should look like.

Hosted by Auric Blackwood, psychic medium, bone thrower, emotional alchemist, and witch, who built an eight figure brand, coached thousands of high level executives to obliterate their limits... now channels all of that power into the work he was always meant to do.

The power was never in the two thousand dollar altar. It was never in the aesthetic. It was never in the Instagram feed or the perfectly curated spiritual persona or the guru telling you what to believe.

It has always been in YOU!

Witches Wild is where Auric shares his own witch journey in real time. The shadow work. The ancestral downloads. The bone casting and the tarot and the moments that crack everything open. The conversations with witches who walk the crooked path and have the wisdom to prove it. And yes, the rabbit holes. Because a sovereign witch is an awake witch and an awake witch cannot be controlled.

This is witchcraft without the bullshit. No gatekeeping. No performative spirituality. No beige filtered version of magick that keeps you scrolling instead of practicing.

Just the craft. The truth. And the moment you realize you were the source of the power all along.

Come for the tea. Leave knowing exactly who you are.

Because witches are not burning anymore...we are the ones lighting the match!
