"I DON'T KNOW GILLIAN, I WASN'T USING A MEASURING CUP!"

In the second installment of our "Witch's Garden Series," we're diving deep into the world of baneful herbs. Join us as we explore where these dangerous plants make an appearance in Practical Magic, both the movie and the books. We'll uncover the mysteries behind their toxins, examine the look-alikes that can easily deceive, and share the folklore and witchcraft associated with them.

Plus, we'll journey through history to discuss how these herbs were used—and misused—in various cultures, including famous plant poisonings in pop culture and news through the ages.

"Do you always trust your first initial feeling?"

On today's episode, The Stinas explore the psychic spiritual phenomenon known as the Clairs: Clairvoyance, Clairsentience, Clairaudience, Claircognizance, just to name a few. We'll analyze all of these fascinating abilities and learn how The Owens family use their own intuitive gifts to navigate the mundane real world in the Practical Magic Film.

Justina and Kristina both share personal experiences of their own psychic gifts before welcoming Magnolia Street's resident research assistant & certified Hypnotherapist and expert in Spiritual Attachments & Release, Christa Rimmer.

Christa shares with us her personal experiences in utilizing The Clairs to work with clients and their spiritual attachments. She also inspires and encourages newbie witches to work their intuitive muscles to strengthen their own psychic abilities...

All this, plus an odd coincidental Linda Bennett connection, and MORE!

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!

Stream our Demos & Get all Song-i-sode Bonuses on our $8 Rose tier on patreon!

"We can't back out now, we're on the committee!"

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!
