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.

Welcome to our first UNHINGED episode.

No agenda.
No outline.
No spiritual performance.

Just two witches sitting down and letting it all spill.

In this episode, we talk about how the recent full moon absolutely wrecked Auric’s nervous system, why emotions felt louder and heavier than usual, and what it actually looks like to process that energy instead of spiritually bypassing it.

We get into how trauma gets stored in the body (especially the hips), why movement is medicine, and why sometimes the most powerful thing you can do isn’t a ritual or a spell… it’s getting out of your head and into your body.

This one is raw, honest, messy, and deeply human.
The kind of conversation you have with your witch bestie at midnight when everything feels a little cracked open.

Welcome to UNHINGED.
These episodes won’t always be tidy.
But they will always be real.

This week on Witches Wild, we’re diving broom-first into the place where magick and mental health collide — the shadowy space no one in witchy TikTok wants to talk about.

Because here’s the truth:
Half the things people call “a curse” are really unprocessed trauma.
Half the things people call “intuition” are anxiety wearing a witch hat.
And half the things people call “awakening” are… well… a full-blown nervous system malfunction.

We’re breaking down:
• how to tell the difference between a spiritual message and your brain bullying you
• why mental health struggles DON’T disqualify you from witchcraft
• how witches throughout history worked with the mind, not against it
• why your intuition doesn’t work when your nervous system is on fire
• how to stop glamorizing suffering as “spiritual depth”
• and the real magick of healing your inner world before you cast a single spell

This is the episode that blends shadow work, somatics, sovereignty, science, and “holy shit, that explains my entire life.”

Witchcraft isn’t an escape from your mind — it’s a way to work with it.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this magick… or is this my mental health?”
We’re going there. All the way there.

Because being a witch doesn’t mean you’re broken.
It means you’re powerful — and you’re learning to hold that power with both hands.
