We have been waiting for this one for a long time.
Marshall WSL, known as the Witch of Southern Light, was the very first witch Auric ever followed on social media, the indirect reason Auric and a partner of his even got together, and one of the most genuinely knowledgeable, raw, and real witches working today. When he dropped his new book The Diary of an American Witch, we knew we had to sit down and talk about all of it.
And we did. For a very long time. So long we had to split it into two episodes, and we are not sorry about that at all.
**What we get into:**
- What makes The Diary of an American Witch unlike anything else being published in the craft right now
- Why Marshall writes magic through story, and why that actually matters for how spells work
- The armchair magician problem, the spell asker epidemic, and why intention alone is not witchcraft
- His very first witchcraft book, hiding it from his mom in Texas, and what it means to be called at 12 years old
- Why witchcraft is queer, and how it became a lifeline before he even had language for who he was
- The Beltane ritual, the flying ointment, the butt plug, the Florida water, and the curtains that caught fire
Yes, that last one is exactly what it sounds like. Marshall lived. He got a tattoo about it. We are so glad he's here.
This conversation goes deep and we are cutting you off right at the good part. You are going to have to come back Thursday and we are not even a little bit sorry.

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!
