Podcasts about Practical Magic

Hello Witches In this episode, we step into the blazing heart of the Summer Solstice. Join me for a rich, spell-laced journey into Litha witchcraft, the element of fire, and the spirit of transformation that rises with the longest day. We'll explore fire elementals, how to work with flame in ritual, and the energy of quantum leaping — shedding the old self, and stepping boldly into your next timeline. Whether you're lighting a candle or dancing by bonfire light, this is your invitation to burn brighter. My newest seasonal zine — Crowned in Sunlight is available from the Solstice/Litha. This Lammas issue is radiant, rooted, and rich with witch soul. It's filled with Practical Magic–inspired spells, Hekate rituals, sun-drenched harvest wisdom, and a deep dive into what it really means to be a witch at the turning of the wheel. Inside, you'll find rituals for sovereignty and gratitude, reflections on The Witch's Birthday, guidance for working with the Lionsgate Portal, and Inner Child healing practices designed to help you meet the radiant, soft, golden part of yourself you may have left behind. It's a celebration of light and shadow, ritual and remembrance — and it's available from Summer Solstice. There's also a limited number of Lammas Witch Boxes to accompany the zine, filled with spell candles, incense, exclusive grimoire pages, and a little ritual treasure or two.

In this first episode of our Witches, Cunning Folk & Magic theme, I'm talking to Dr Tabitha Stanmore! She's a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at University of Exeter on the Leverhulme-funded Seven County Witch Hunt Project, investigating the people affected by the 1640s witch trials in eastern England. Her doctoral research was funded by the South, West and Wales Doctoral Training Partnership (part of the AHRC), and published as Love Spells and Lost Treasure: Service magic in England from the later Middle Ages to the early modern era by Cambridge University Press. She has appeared on Radio 3's Free Thinking and BBC Radio London discussing magic in the early modern period, written for The Conversation, and TIME Magazine and BBC History Magazine, among others. Her debut non-fiction book CUNNING FOLK was published by The Bodley Head (UK) and Bloomsbury (US) in 2024, and the paperback came out on 28 May! In this chat, we talk about what cunning folk are and how they differ from witches, how members of different classes approached magic and what they used it for, and why Magic Studies is such a valuable approach to history!

In this episode, we explore the elusive practice of astral projection—where the soul is said to slip the bounds of the body and travel freely through the unseen realms.We'll delve into the intriguing fan theory that Gillian's overnight trip to reunite with Sally, starting from the moment she gazes into the bathroom mirror after adding belladonna to the tequila bottle, might not be a physical journey at all, but an astral one. Could her sudden leap from Jimmy's bathroom to the car's midnight road trip be an out-of-body journey fueled by magic?Join us as we explore the folklore of mirrors, doorways, lucid dreams and even time travel to better understand the film's moonlit magic, and the deeper currents of longing and connection that swirl through Practical Magic's spellbinding scenes. ✨

In this second installment of our Elemental Series, we take a deep breath and step into the realm of Air—the element of thought, communication, clarity, and spirit. We explore how Air weaves through magical traditions, breath-based rituals, tarot, astrology, and myth. But we also follow its delicate thread through the world of Practical Magic, where wind, whispers, and winged intention carry meaning beyond words.From Sally's Amas Veritas spell and the swirling petals released into the night, to Gillian's CPR attempt, the clatter of wind chimes during breakfast with Gary, and the iconic final rooftop leap—Air isn't just present in Practical Magic, it's pivotal. It's the laughter around the margarita table, the smoke of cigarettes and incense, the quiet wind that signals change.This episode unpacks how Air shapes not only spellwork and symbols, but also grief, belief, and becoming. With reflection prompts, rituals, and a touch of sister-sign banter, we invite you to breathe deep, listen well, and let go.The wind is rising. Let's begin.Link Tree⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERO SOURCES  DISCLAIMERThe Magnolia Street Podcast intends to discuss the movie, “Practical Magic” in its entirety.

VYS0050 | One And The Same - Vayse to Face with Peter C Hine - Show Notes By some miracle Hine and Buckley have made it to episode 50 and to make the occasion they welcome to Vayse close collaborator and friend of the show, Peter C Hine. Peter is a podcaster, writer and musician from Manchester UK. Together with Stephen James Buckley he co-founded Vayse, a podcast about weird stuff, now celebrating it's 50th episode. The conversation flows from how Vayse was formed, how Peter first became interested in all things weird, why his magical practice is on pause, how deep disillusionment with the current occult scene runs, what does the future hold for Vayse and just how many time can he mention Six Ways, Hellier and Penny Royal in a single interview? (Recorded 22 May 2025) Thanks to all our guests over the last 50 episodes and to everyone who has listened.

Last night I got halfway through a Substack post on a related issue to some of the subjects that came up on my appearance on the Disintegrator podcast. When I went to link to it, it suddenly dawned on me I had only shared it on the Rune Soup Premium Members Mighty Network. (Join below.) So here it is! We recorded this soon after my arrival in Paraguay, so I think it was early February. It's an excellent discussion, so I'm pulling an Alex Hormozi and sharing it with my own listeners. (Sub to Disintegrator, too.) Here is why AI thinks you should listen: In this high-energy episode I sit down with Marek and Roberto to talk about why barrels are meant for rolling and why reality is much bigger than the academic cubicles that try to contain it. We start with the ancient tale of the Watchers (the OG tech-bros from the Book of Enoch) and use it to kick open a door marked Technology, Magic & the Human Experiment. From there we dive straight into animism, the “community-of-beings” cosmos, and why a living universe renders most hand-wringing over “anthropocentrism” moot unless you're prepared to vault clean out of the academy's marble-floored worldview. What you'll hear me unpack Barrel-Rolling Out of Academia – how to exit the cathedral politely, become “invincible,” and treat academic credentials like LinkedIn endorsements in a living cosmos. Markets, Magic & Capitalism – capitalism viewed as a resonant tool of a larger Ahrimanic being; why the market is archetypal, but turning it up to 120 % comes with karmic interest. Mineral Intelligence & AI – awakening the silica, ayahuasca visions of stones teaching in a galactic lecture hall, and why “artificial” intelligence might be a mis-nomer in an ensouled universe. Comparative ≠ Colonial – embracing perspectivism (à la Viveiros de Castro) as the clean way to decolonise knowledge without the usual Protestant guilt trip. Astrology & World Politics – the U.S. Pluto/Uranus returns, fourth-turning turbulence, and the astrological case for an amicable national “divorce” over a civil war redux. Practical Magic – why Ouija boards, jungle dieta, and good old-fashioned ghost stories still outperform peer-reviewed PDFs when it comes to proving the universe is alive.  Join the world's leading online magical training community, Rune Soup, here.

In this enchanting episode, we step into the warm, witchy glow of Practical Magic—a film of sisterhood, spellwork, and soul-deep lessons. Brew a cup of tea (or indulge in a slice of chocolate cake for breakfast) as we unravel the magick woven through the lives of the Owens women. ✨ What's inside the cauldron -

In the Forest of Letting Go A Cord Cutting Ritual for Release, Renewal & Quiet Power - this connects to the Practical Magic episode released before this. Step softly into the forest. In this sacred space of moss and memory, we gather for a cord cutting ritual—an act of tender release and sovereign reclamation. Whether you're letting go of an old lover, a lingering energetic tie, or a version of yourself that no longer serves you, this spell is for you. ✨ In this episode, you'll find - A gentle guided meditation to support emotional release and energetic clearing A visualisation ritual featuring a ceremonial knife Reflection prompts to honour the lessons and blessings of what you're releasing An invitation to step back into your power—clear, grounded, and whole This is not about banishment in bitterness, but about blessing the path ahead with clarity and self-trust. It's about honoring your sensitivity as strength and making space for what wants to grow now that the old has been laid to rest. Light a candle, breathe deep, and enter the forest. It's time to let go—beautifully.

"Always throw spilled salt over your left shoulder."This week, we explore the sacred shimmer of salt, one of magical tradition's most powerful and misunderstood elements. From ancient folklore to modern spellwork, salt has been a protector, a purifier, and a powerful conduit between worlds. But what makes it so potent, and how does Practical Magic tap into its symbolism?We explore salt's rich legacy across cultures, from circle-casting and spirit-banishing to kitchen witchery and everyday rituals. We also turn our focus to Practical Magic, where salt isn't just a pantry staple—it's a shield against darkness. We also tackle some misconceptions about salt in modern witchcraft, share personal stories from our own practices, and offer simple ways to work with salt in your home even if you've never cast a circle in your life.So grab your broom, your margarita glass (salted rim optional), and join us for an episode that's equal parts sacred, salty, and spellbinding.SOCIALS:⁠Link Tree⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERO SOURCES  DISCLAIMER The Magnolia Street Podcast intends to discuss the movie, “Practical Magic” in its entirety.

Send us a topic!!!!What does it mean to exist in a neutral emotional state, neither happy nor upset? We explore this often misunderstood middle ground and how it affects our relationships when partners misinterpret neutrality as anger or indifference.The conversation shifts to character analysis as we break down the hit horror series "From." Each of us shares which characters we identify with most—from Donna's outward strength despite inner vulnerability to Victor's underappreciated wisdom. The show's masterful character development keeps viewers invested even when the mysterious plot leaves us with more questions than answers after three seasons.Our discussion heats up when we debate what truly makes a film worth watching. Does an actor's performance make or break a movie? Can you separate your enjoyment of a story from your opinion of the people portraying it? This launches us into passionate territory as we analyze performances from Michael B. Jordan to Denzel Washington, and question whether certain actors consistently deliver or merely have occasional moments of brilliance.The remake debate gets personal as we consider whether classics like "Practical Magic" and "The Outsiders" should ever be reimagined. We reminisce about what we call the "golden era" of actors—those performers who created such distinctive personas that anyone following seems like an imitation. This leads us to question: are remakes necessary when originals still resonate so deeply?By the end, we celebrate the wonderful diversity in entertainment preferences, from disaster films to late-night cartoons. Join us for a conversation that's equal parts introspective and playfully argumentative—just like any great relationship. What actors make or break movies for you? Which classics would you protect from remakes at all costs? Share your thoughts and favorite cartoons with us!Support the show

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesMarvel Studios has been in the news a lot during the last week with varying topics. We'll break them down, but first some bullet points.- Thunderbolts* took the top spot at the box office with a $76 million domestic opening and a global total of $162.1 million. For those CinemaScore fans, the movie is sitting at an A-. SPOILER ALERT: The studio also flipped the title of the movie based on the events that occur within it and the film is now being marketed as The New Avengers - the big reveal of what the asterisk stood for. Marvel Comics even joined in with this gag, revealing today that a previously announced new series called New Thunderbolts* is actually going to be called The New Avengers.- Jeremy Renner was interviewed by podcast High Performance about his new memoir “My Next Breath,” and revealed Marvel offered him a role in a second season of Hawkeye, but only offered half the salary he received in season one.- The Hollywood Reporter has received information from sources saying that Ryan Reynolds is in the early stages of developing a new Deadpool movie that would feature X-Men characters with Deadpool potentially in a supporting role.- Lastly, Fantastic Four: First Steps Director Matt Shakman revealed that voice actor Matthew Wood is doing the voice work for the role of HERBIE in the film. Wood is known for voicing General Grievous and has worked in sound for Lucasfilm and Disney for many years.Perhaps the biggest story to hit Hollywood since the writers/actors strikes a few years ago, U.S. President Donald Trump announced on his social media platform on Monday that he aims to start including Hollywood in his tariff plan. In his comments, Trump announced he wants to institute a 100% tariff on movies coming into the United States and that are produced in foreign countries. It is unclear how this would be implemented at this time as films are not goods. However, many films take advantage of tax incentives offered by states and countries to film in their locations and these could be affected. In an already turbulent time for Hollywood, what could this mean for the future?FX has officially confirmed an upcoming season two of its Emmy-award winning series Shogun.

Insiders tell the Hollywood Reporter that the project is not necessarily going away however, and would be reassessed at the end of the year for a possible summer shoot in 2026.Chris Hemsworth has been cast to star in Subversion, a submarine thriller that Patrick Vollrath will direct for Amazon MGM.Star Wars: The Last Order, is a newly-announced novel, written by Kwame Mbalia and will look at Finn and Jannah's mission to save more children from the First Order.

We're kicking off our Elemental mini-series by digging into Earth—just in time for Earth Day!

We're diving deep into the dark waters of Leech Lake—not the one in Minnesota (though we'll explore that later), but the mysterious and enchanted lake from the Practical Magic book series. In Alice Hoffman's story, this version of Leech Lake resides in Massachusetts. It's said to be home to a serpent-like water creature that Faith Owens befriends—a being cloaked in shadow and folklore. The Owens women often swim in its waters, though they're never able to dive beneath the surface, only float. It's also aplace marked by tragedy, with more than one drowning said to have occurred there.But our journey doesn't end with Leech Lake. We'll be castingour net wider to explore legendary sea serpents and monsters from across cultures and mythologies—from the elusive Loch Ness Monster to the ancient and fearsome Leviathan...

In this delightfully unhinged episode, The Stinas slither into the underbrush of Appalachian folk magic to unearth the secrets of Rattlesnake Weed—a plant that walks the crooked line between healing and harm. With their usual irreverent wit and a healthy dose of side-eye for organized religion, The Stinas tackle everything from Granny Witch remedies and mountain ghost stories to the bizarre Pentecostal snake-handling traditions.But that's not all—they're also diving broom-first into the magical universe of Practical Magic, where Rattlesnake Weed becomes a deadly euphoric drug in the hands of the wrong man (looking at you, Jimmy Angelov). Is it fiction? Is it folklore? Or just East Coast kids messing with desert plants they didn't grow up fearing?Expect comedic tangents, theological shade, and a touch of Southern gothic glam as The Stinas trace the real and imagined uses of this powerful plant—from backwoods altars to best-selling books.Because if there's one thing we know: one seed might lift you up… but two just might send you to the afterlife!SOCIALS:⁠⁠Link Tree⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERO SOURCESDISCLAIMERThe Magnolia Street Podcast intends to discuss the movie, “Practical Magic” in its entirety.

Ready for part 2?! Let's dive back into Practical Magic through the lens of the Major Arcana, aka The Fool/Hero's Journey. Last week, we analyzed The Fool through Justice cards of the Major Arcana. This week we're starting with The Hanged Man and rounding it out with card 21 -The World. From Sally's quiet longing for normalcy to Gillian's wild-hearted escape, and from the wisdom of Aunt Jet and Aunt Frances to the forces—both magical and mundane—that shape their world, we'll trace how the tarot maps onto their stories. We'll talk symbols, character arcs, and the transformational power of love, grief, and sisterhood as seen through the cards.Whether you're a longtime tarot enthusiast or just a lover of all things Practical Magic, this episode is filled with rich insights, intuitive connections, and a little bit of witchy wonder. So light a candle, pour some midnight margaritas, and settle in—because the journey has only just begun!SOCIALS:⁠Link Tree⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERO SOURCESDISCLAIMERThe Magnolia Street Podcast intends to discuss the movie, “Practical Magic” in its entirety.

Sally Owens' Verbena Botanicals shop is a whole vibe—but why did she name it after this seemingly unassuming little plant? And did you know verbena is also called vervain? We didn't!In Practical Magic, verbena is more than just an herb—it's a symbol of healing, love, and protection. While it plays a major role in Alice Hoffman's book series, it's only subtly included in the film—hidden in the name of Sally's shop. But could there be a deeper meaning?Join us as we explore verbena's magical and medicinal uses, its presence in the Practical Magic universe, and the ancient lore linking it to a goddess who wept tears of vervain for her lost love. From history to herbalism, we're unraveling the mystery of this enchanting plant!SOCIALS:Link Tree⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERO SOURCES DISCLAIMERThe Magnolia Street Podcast intends to discuss the movie, “Practical Magic” in its entirety.

"Is that a snake tattoo!" It sure is! His name is Greg and he's on Kristina's wrist! (Gillian would approve)In celebration of the Year of the Snake, the Stinas slither down all the twists & turns of snake symbolism in the Practical Magic film as well as the book series. They analyze Gillian's character arc as well as her fashion choices, and how they coincide with the snake-like persona she takes on since meeting Jimmy. They also find answers to more burning questions - What do snakes have to do with twin flames and vampires?! And what is actually swimming in Leech Lake?! Is it a snake? Is it an eel? Are a Garter Snake & Garden snake the same thing?!We also unravel the mythology of the ancient Ouroboros symbol throughout time and culture and show you how snake energy can be used in spell work.SOCIALS:Link Tree⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERO SOURCESDISCLAIMERThe Magnolia Street Podcast intends to discuss the movie, “Practical Magic” in its entirety.

In this episode, The Stinas dive deep into the life and work of legendary composer Alan Silvestri, with a special focus on his enchanting Practical Magic film score. They discuss the behind-the-scenes drama of Silvestri stepping in to replace Michael Nyman's lost score—was it just a business decision, or does some lingering resentment still haunt the halls of Hollywood?As a follow-up to Season 2, Episode 57 on Michael Nyman, this episode explores the twist of fate that led Silvestri to film scoring—despite having no prior experience—and the phone call that changed his career forever. The Stinas also take a detour into the unexpected: Silvestri's winery!

Welcome Hellhounds! In today's episode, we step into the shadowy world of the black dog—a figure both feared and revered in folklore, magick, and music. From the spectral hounds of British legends to the symbol of depression and fate, we unravel the deeper meanings behind this haunting archetype.We'll then analyze the Black Dog in the film - was it there to warn Michael of his impending doom? Or was it the grim reaper coming to collect his soul? And was Michael himself, the Black Dog? We'll also take a look at Michael's fashion choices which could be subtle nods to his destiny! Was he in fact a sacrifice the aunts made to the gods of the Owens curse? This leads us to the connection the Black Dog also has to the Resurrection scene and the crossroads deity Hekate (Mighty Hectate Make it Right!)We'll also take a closer look at Nick Drake's chilling song Black Eyed Dog—a track steeped in mystery, sorrow, and the inescapable pull of mortality. Was Drake drawing from the ancient legends of black dogs as omens of death? Or was he channeling the metaphor Winston Churchill once used to describe his own battle with depression?Light a candle, settle in, and keep watch—because once the black dog comes calling, it's hard to ignore!SOCIALSLinktreePatreonInstagramHero SourcesDISCLAIMERThe Magnolia Street Podcast intends to discuss the movie, “Practical Magic” in its entirety.
