Think Christmas is a Christian holiday?
Cool story. Now let’s talk about where it actually came from.
In this episode of Witches Wild, we rip the tinsel off Christmas and expose how many of the traditions people swear are “holy” were lifted straight from pagan and witchcraft practices… and then rebranded, sanitized, and weaponized against the very people who created them.
We’re breaking down:
• Why December 25th has nothing to do with the birth of Jesus
• How Yule, Saturnalia, and the Winter Solstice were absorbed and repackaged
• The real origins of trees, wreaths, lights, mistletoe, feasting, and gift-giving
• How pagan rituals were demonized after being stolen
• Why witches were persecuted for practicing the same traditions now called “Christmas spirit”
This isn’t about hate.
It’s about history, context, and reclaiming truth.
If you’ve ever felt gaslit by religion, confused by spiritual holidays, or sensed something was off about the Christmas narrative, this episode will connect a LOT of dots.
Come for the receipts.
Stay for the righteous rage, the laughter, and the liberation.
