About “Not Every Witch”
Welcome to “Not Every Witch,” where we don’t just scratch the surface—we rip it open and dive headfirst into the raw, unfiltered world of witchcraft. This isn’t your fluffy, watered-down, Insta-witch BS. This is the real deal—gritty, powerful, and unapologetically authentic. Whether you’re a fresh-faced initiate or a seasoned practitioner, this podcast is here to inspire, challenge, and push you to deepen your connection to the craft.
Why “Not Every Witch”?
Let’s get one thing straight—”Not Every Witch” was born out of sheer frustration with the superficial, sanitized nonsense that’s flooded the witchcraft scene. Witchcraft isn’t a trend, and it sure as hell isn’t about pretty aesthetics and feel-good vibes. It’s about power, tradition, and the roots that run deep into the earth. This podcast is my answer to all the watered-down, hollow versions of witchcraft out there. We’re here to get real about witchcraft in all its forms—tarot, astrology, herbalism, ritual magic, and everything in between.
When I was finding my way as a witch, I had mentors who didn’t coddle me or hand out empty platitudes. They walked the path with me, offering real guidance and challenging me to grow. They didn’t tell me to “just Google it” or “do whatever you feel like.” They understood that to break the rules, you need to know them first. So, I’m here to pay it forward—no filler, no BS, just real talk and real magic.
Look, I see new witches out there, hungry for knowledge, getting dismissed with vague advice like “there are no rules” or “just do you.” That’s lazy, and it doesn’t help anyone find their footing. Witchcraft has depth, structure, and a rich history that needs to be respected before you can start bending it to your will. This podcast is my way of giving back to the craft that’s shaped me, offering the same depth and guidance I was lucky enough to receive.

About Me: Michael Blackthorn
I’m Michael Blackthorn, your host and fellow witch. Let me cut to the chase—I’ve been in this game for nearly 29 years, and it all started with a kickass, mind-blowing experience with the Goddess Hekate when I was just 10 years old. That encounter lit a fire in me that’s been burning ever since, and it’s what set me on this lifelong journey into the depths of witchcraft.
Witchcraft isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. It’s my passion, my life’s work, and my mission is to help other witches take back their power. I’m currently perfecting my Tarot Training Course—an in-depth experience that’s not for the faint of heart. I’m also building a Foundational Course for witches, because let’s face it, if you don’t know the basics, you’re not ready to break the rules.
As the Grand High Witch of the House of Blackthorn, I’m all about community, tradition, and growth. And let’s not forget—I’m also deepening my knowledge of herbalism through the Herbal Academy, because the power of plants is just too damn potent to ignore. This study is all about enriching my practice and bringing that same depth to the witches I serve.
I created “Not Every Witch” to share my passion and knowledge with a community of like-minded witches who are ready to go beyond the surface. My goal? To make complex topics relatable and to give you the tools to elevate your practice. I’m here to challenge you, inspire you, and maybe even give you a good kick in the ass when you need it—all while keeping it real and grounded in the craft.
