Protect Yourself Before You Hex Yourself

Before you touch spellwork, open yourself up psychically, or start playing in the unseen… learn protection. In this episode of Witches Wild, we take you out of the broom closet and into nature at one of our favorite waterfall spots to talk about one of the most important foundations of the craft: PROTECTION MAGIC. Because let’s be real… Too many people want the spells, the candles, the glamour, the rituals, the aesthetics. But if you don’t know how to protect your energy first, you can absolutely wreck yourself in this work. In this episode we talk about: • why protection should come before spellwork • signs your energy might need protecting • fear loops, spiritual paranoia, and why not everything is a curse • energetic circles vs ceremonial circle casting • connecting with land spirits and making offerings • one of Auric’s simple, powerful protection rituals • oils, black salt, bay leaf, intention, and protective fire This is witchcraft without the bullshit. No 800 ingredients. No performance. No overcomplication. Just real protection, real practice, and real magic. If you’re new to the craft, start here. If you’ve been practicing for years and got lazy with your wards, start here too. And as always… you are always safe here. ✨ Instagram: @witcheswildpodcast 🖤 Follow Auric: @theauricb 🔥 Follow Jess: @therocknrollritualist 🎥 Prefer to watch? https://www.youtube.com/@WitchesWild 🎧 Prefer to listen?
