Everyone talks about the glow. Nobody talks about what happens after.
You come back from plant medicine on cloud nine. Your nervous system is calm, your skin is glowing, your food has changed, your whole perception of reality has shifted. And then life shows up. The job you hate. The relationship that needs work. The 3D matrix that does not care that you just had the most transformative week of your life. And nobody warned you that coming back can be just as intense as going in.
This episode Auric and Jo-Lynn are pulling back the curtain on everything they wish someone had told them before they walked out of that retreat center. The integration process, what it actually looks like, why it is the most important part that almost nobody talks about, and why without it people either get lost, get addicted to the medicine, or worse.
This one is not just for people who have done plant medicine. It is for anyone who has ever had a profound shift, a sound bath, an energy clearing, a breathwork session, a spiritual awakening, and then found themselves wondering why they felt like they were falling apart a few weeks later.
You are not broken. You are integrating. There is a difference and it matters.
What we get into:
๐ Why the glow wears off and what actually happens to your nervous system when it does
๐ The moment Auric realized his entire nervous system had been reset and what it felt like when the matrix started creeping back in
๐ Why people get addicted to plant medicine and how integration is the thing that prevents it
๐ The food, the music, the TV shows, the relationships that all felt completely different coming home
๐ Why talk therapy alone is not enough for integration and what actually works
๐ Human design as an integration tool and why getting into your body is the whole point
๐ The dangerous part nobody warned them about and why Auric is being transparent about where it took him
๐ What a proper integration plan actually looks like and how to build one
๐ Why if you are hosting plant medicine retreats and not talking about this you are not doing your job
If you are planning a plant medicine journey, do not go without watching this first. And if you have already been and felt lost coming home, this episode is going to make you feel so much less alone.
Jo-Lynn offers energy clearing and integration support virtually and in person. Find her at @JBEnergyAlchemy on Instagram.
And stay tuned...House of Alchemy is launching a full integration program and you are going to want to be on that list. Make sure you are folloing Auric on Insta to get the tea when that launches!

What is Witches Wild?
The spell is only the beginning, my darlingsโฆ 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 mattersโฆ
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 isnโt just about what happens around you. Itโs about who youโre becoming because of it. Around here, we donโt chase perfection or perform spirituality for Instagram. We donโt 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, youโll hear stories from remarkable practitioners, teachers, and modern witches who have forged their own path instead of following someone elseโs.
This isnโt a podcast about escaping your life. Itโs about creating one that feels like magic.
Come for the tea. Stay for the transformation.
Welcome to Witches Wild!
