Episodes

  • In Rules of Magic, Franny & Jet visit the Alchemy Tree; an ancient Red Oak Tree in Central Park. They cast their wishes on Samhain also known as All Hallow's Eve, the night when the veil between worlds is at its thinnest.

    In this episode, we delve into the fascinating world of alchemy, occult philosophy, and natural magick through the symbolism of the Alchemy Tree in the novel Rules of Magic. Rooted in ancient mystical traditions, this metaphysical tree represents the stages of transformation in alchemy—from base material to spiritual enlightenment—mirroring the occultist’s journey of self-evolution and the pursuit of the Philosopher’s Stone.

    Additionally, we take a deep dive into the magick of Red Oak trees—powerful symbols in both alchemical and magical traditions. Known for their strength, endurance, and deep-rooted energy, Red Oaks are sacred in many traditions for their connection to the earth and the heavens, representing the bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds.

    Join us as we unravel how these two symbols—the Alchemy Tree and the Red Oak—converge in both ancient and modern magical traditions, offering insights into the deeper meanings behind transformation, nature, and spiritual growth in the world of Practical Magic.

  • This week on Magnolia Street, the Stinas are diving headfirst into the iconic symbol of witchcraft—cauldrons! Whether brewing up potions or stirring a hearty soup, the cauldron is a staple in every witch’s kitchen. Join us as we explore its appearances in both the Practical Magic books and movie, where a surprising discovery bubbles up—what are those mysterious floating objects in Aunt Franny’s pot? Spoiler alert: SOAP NUTS, anyone?

    Next, we journey through history, mythology, and folklore to uncover the deep-rooted significance of cauldrons. From their ancient associations with transformation and fertility to the darker topic of Death by Boiling, we leave no stone unturned. But don’t worry—we’re balancing the spooky with some cozy! The Stinas also share their favorite soup recipes for those looking to stir up something comforting.

    Whether you’re a practicing witch or a muggle in the kitchen, this episode covers the practical and magical uses of cauldrons, and why they remain a beloved symbol of witchy culture. Grab your spoons (and maybe your wands) and join us for a bubbling good time!

  • This week on Magnolia Street, the Stinas dive into the iconic symbol of witch hats. They explore the origins of this pointy headwear, tracing its history and evolution through time. From ancient folklore to modern interpretations, the Stinas unravel the mystery behind the shape, style, and symbolism of witch hats.

    We'll then discuss why author Alice Hoffman decided to leave the pointy witch hat stereotype out of her book series, and comb through the movie to explore the many "practical" hats the Aunts seem to don in the garden or around Maria's Island. And of course, we're chatting out those iconic pointy black hats in the film's finale!

    Whether in the world of magic or the everyday muggle world, the Stinas discuss what these hats represent today and how they've become a staple of witchy culture.

  • In today's episode, we delve into the mysterious and magical connection between black cats and the world of witchcraft. In Alice Hoffman’s Practical Magic book series and the beloved film adaptation, black cats aren’t just pets—they’re a constant and a subliminal source of support for the Owens women.

    Join us as we explore the role of Magpie, the black cat who quietly weaves through Sally and Gillian Owens' lives. We’ll be doing some "catspotting," tracking Magpie’s appearances from shadowy corners to critical moments when the Owens sisters face danger or heartache.

    Our cats are our protectors in times of peril, and companions in both magic and love. Along the way, we’ll unravel the ancient superstitions and enduring myths that have kept black cats intertwined with witches for centuries.

    Is the black cat a mere guardian, or does Magpie’s presence hold deeper meaning in the fate of the Owens family? Join us, and you might find yourself seeing black cats in a whole new light. The Stinas also share stories of their own feline familiars!

  • "Do you always trust your first initial feeling?"

  • HEY WITCH HEY!

    We are so excited to debut yet another Song-i-Sode for ya! This next installation of our SONG-i-SODE series is Session #10!

    Last week we had a Summer Solstice chat on our Magick & Lore for Litha Episode! So today, we thought we would snowball off those themes of midsummer with this new song! Today's song is a celebration of summertime! This one was inspired by the scene in the film where The Aunts Jet & Frances mention that they will be attending a Solstice Celebration.

    The Stinas revisit their notes & lyrics and chat about how they wrote this sunny sabbat-inspired song! We'll be dissecting our original work verse by verse, draft by draft, and take you on the creative journey of how we wrote the song from start to finish. We'll also explore original versions of the song, scratch demos, and lyrics that just didn't make the cut. Then sit back and relax as the Stinas debut their latest demo for this song!

    Merry Summer Solstice and Happy Litha to all of our neighbors here on Magnolia Street!

    In today's episode, dive into the world of Practical Magic as we explore the Magic of Midsummer! We'll discover the enchanting connections between the Summer Solstice, the symbolic sparrow that plagues the Owens household every Midsummer, and the threefold law!

    The Stinas rehash old theories about the film's timeline, and make some new discoveries revealing just where things may have derailed. After combing through old script drafts, they explore a new geographical location where the Aunts may have ventured for their solstice trip in the film, putting The Berkshires on the map and solidifying its place in Practical Magic lore.

    The Stinas then write themselves into a special fan fiction piece where a certain "time-traveling friend" revisits the Owens family for a Solstice celebration! And no episode is complete without the history, the magick, the lore, an epic rap battle between the Holly vs. Oak King, AND MUCH MORE!

    Join the Stinas as they uncover hidden gems and weave new magic into the Practical Magic universe!

  • "Was it our joined hands that finally lifted Maria's curse?" Join us this week as we chat with Karen Awad, a modern sorceress who draws inspiration from "Practical Magic" to weave Harmonic Healing, blending science and ancestral wisdom. Her methods, akin to the Owens sisters' enchanting potions, stir dormant energies and unlock hidden potentials. Some might say, potentials strong enough to lift a curse.

    Utilizing sound vibrations, she restores balance and harmony, empowering individuals to script their own stories of healing and transformation. In essence, her practice celebrates sisterhood, self-discovery, and the magic within, inviting her clients to reclaim their inner power and step boldly into their true selves.
    Join us today as we chat with the ever-enchanting Karen Awad!

  • HEY WITCH HEY! We are so excited to debut yet another Song-i-Sode for ya! This next installation of our SONG-i-SODE series is Session #9!


    Today we are talking about another one of our Practical Magic inspired original songs called "Meet Me in the Garden"! This song is a celebration of the Spring and the season of growth and abundance! This one was inspired by Sally & Gary's budding romance and their passionate movie kiss in the Owens' magickal lush garden at the end of the film!


    The Stinas revisit their notes & lyrics and chat about how they wrote this garden inspired love song! We'll be dissecting our original work verse by verse, draft by draft, and take you on the creative journey of how we wrote the song from start to finish. We'll also explore original versions of the song, scratch demos, and lyrics that just didn't make the cut. Then sit back and relax as Justina treats us to a small live performance!
