Witches Wild

Traditional therapy isn’t the only path to healing.

In this episode, we unpack a Lakota trauma ritual that was practiced in the 1400s… banned in the 1800s… and quietly validated in 2019 by researchers at Johns Hopkins.

The results?
73% reduction in PTSD symptoms.
81% decrease in intrusive thoughts.
Emotional regulation improved 6x faster than talk therapy alone.

This isn’t anti-therapy.
It’s pro-sovereignty.

We talk about:
• Why physical release works neurologically
• How trauma gets stored in the body
• Why shadow integration matters
• The ritual step-by-step
• The difference between erasing pain vs witnessing it

The wound that’s held grows.
The wound that’s released heals.

If you’ve been carrying stones for decades… this one’s for you.

Subscribe, share, and let’s bring the old ways back.

You are not broken. You are healing.

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.
