Witch Is Wild

In this episode, we’re dragging one of the biggest demons in modern witchcraft straight into the light…
perfectionism.
The curse that keeps more baby witches stuck than any hex ever could.

WitchTok told you that you need a $2,000 altar, a moon-blessed chalice forged in dragon fire, twelve ethically sourced herbs, and a degree in “Aesthetic Witchcraft” before you can even light a candle.
And suddenly everyone’s stuck in preparation paralysis, hoarding supplies, binge-watching tutorials, and convincing themselves they’re “not ready yet.”

Meanwhile the ancestors are in the astral realm screaming:
“JUST START, BABE.”

In this hilariously feral episode, Auric and Jess rip apart the myth that you need to look like a cinematic sorceress before you’re allowed to practice. We talk about the trap of performative spirituality, the comparison curse, and how social media glam has tricked so many witches into thinking witchcraft is a vibe instead of a practice.

We break down:
• Why perfectionism is the ego’s sneakiest form of self-sabotage
• How WitchTok aesthetics derail real magick
• Simple, zero-cost ways to start your practice TODAY
• Why messy magick is the most powerful magick
• The difference between studying the craft and actually doing the craft
• And the spiritual revolution that starts when you stop performing and start practicing

If you’ve ever felt “not witch enough,” this episode is your cosmic permission slip to dive in, get your hands dirty, burn the rulebook, and reclaim your craft from the algorithm’s chokehold.

Because here at Witches Wild…
good witches aren’t perfect, they’re powerful.

Why the World Feared Her… and Why She Was Right All Along

In this episode, we’re flying straight into the broom-smoke of pop culture’s most infamous witch: the Wicked Witch — from the green-skinned villain of Oz to the misunderstood powerhouse of Wicked.

Because here’s the truth nobody told you:
The Wicked Witch wasn’t wicked.
She was right.
She was aware.
She refused to bow to a corrupt system… and so they painted her as the villain.

Sound familiar?

We break down how Elphaba became a modern archetype of the persecuted witch — the woman who saw behind the curtain, refused the performance, challenged the throne, and got demonized for her power.
Just like the real witches throughout history.
Just like us.
Just like you.

In this conversation, we dig into:
• Why “wicked” was just a PR campaign created by the patriarchy
• How Elphaba mirrors the real witch wound
• Why witches get cast as villains when they’re actually the threat to corruption
• The relationship between green skin, outcasts, and reclamation
• Why reclaiming the word witch is the most powerful act of sovereignty
• And why the world still fears a woman who won’t play nice

This episode is a reclamation.
A reminder.
A resurrection of the witch they tried to bury.

Because the only thing wicked…
is the system that tried to silence us.

Every witch has an origin story...this is ours.

In our very first episode, Auric Blackwood and Jess Coale crack open the broom closet doors and spill everything: how we met, how fate shoved us into each other’s lives, how witchcraft dragged us home to ourselves, and how all of that led to the creation of Witches Wild.

This episode is raw, hilarious, and real.
Two witches, two journeys, one undeniable path.

We talk about awakening, shadow work, the signs that wouldn’t stop slapping us, the moment we stopped hiding who the fuck we really are, and why this podcast was inevitable.

Consider this your initiation into our world...the kismet, the chaos, the magick, the trauma, the cackling, and the truth-telling that brought us right here to start a revolution.

Welcome to Witches Wild.

You’re one of us now. Welcome to the Coven.
