🍂 The veil is thinning, the candles are burning, and somewhere on Magnolia Street… two witches are preparing to close the book on Season Four. HEY WITCH, HEY! 🖤 As Samhain approaches and the Wheel of the Year turns once more, the Stinas are gathering around the cauldron for one last celebration of a season that took us places we NEVER could have imagined! From poisonous plants and ancient folklore to the streets of Greenwich Village, the mysteries of the Owens family, and the long-awaited arrival of Practical Magic 2, Season Four has been nothing short of MAGICAL. We're revisiting our favorite discoveries, celebrating the incredible guests and neighbors who helped make this season unforgettable, and reliving some truly surreal pinch-me moments—from Dallas and Pennsylvania to meeting the REAL Antonia Owens herself! But this wouldn't be Magnolia Street without a little CHAOS. Prepare for spontaneous musical outbursts, spectacularly unnecessary research, questionable pronunciations, outrageous outtakes, and a collection of supernatural fanfiction in which the boundaries between history, Hollywood, and the Owens family universe become dangerously thin. And for the first time ever, we're rolling out the BLACK CARPET for the Magnolia Street Season Four Awards, honoring the characters, curiosities, and questionable decisions that defined our year! But beneath all the laughter, there's something a little more meaningful. This season reminded us that magic isn't only found in books, spells, or silver-screen witches. Sometimes, it's found in the friendships we make, the stories we share, and the little neighborhood we've built together. So pour yourself something lovely, light a candle, and join us as we celebrate everything we've harvested from Season Four. Because every ending is simply another beginning… and there's still plenty of magic waiting on Magnolia Street. 🎃 Happy Halloween, witches, and a blessed Samhain to all who celebrate! ✨ We'll see you in Season Five!

The past is never really the past… especially in the Owens family. The veil is at its thinnest with Samhain approaching and the season of remembrance is upon us! Tonight, we're turning our attention to the people who came before us, the stories they left behind, and the pieces of themselves that continue to live through us. This week on Magnolia Street, we're exploring Ancestor Veneration—the centuries-old practice of honoring those who have passed on, and the many ways their memories, traditions, and legacies remain woven into our everyday lives. From Maria Owens's haunting portrait and mysterious blue sapphire to the Book of the Raven, inherited magic, and the family curse itself, we're tracing the ancestral threads that connect generations of Owens women throughout Alice Hoffman's Practical Magic series. But this time, we're also opening up our OWN family archives! 📜 Join us as we uncover tales of immigration, love, loss, survival, and a few extraordinary twists of fate. We're sharing stories of ancestors whose lives have been preserved through photographs, paintings, handwritten histories, music, and even voices captured on recordings from generations past. And somewhere along the way, a suspicious family resemblance leads us down an absolutely RIDICULOUS Magnolia Street coded ancestral rabbit hole involving an Italian winemaker, a Croatian connection, and one VERY scandalous family legend that leads The Stinas wondering.... ARE WE RELATED? 🍷😂 We'll also explore ancestral altars, offerings, spiritual traditions, inherited heirlooms, and the everyday rituals that keep our loved ones close. Because sometimes the greatest magic we inherit isn't found in a spellbook or a centuries-old family treasure. Sometimes it's in the recipes we cook, the songs we sing, the stories we tell, and the faces we recognize in our own reflections. So gather around the ancestral table, witches. We're digging up the family roots… and maybe a few skeletons along the way. 🖤 After all, we are all somebody's ancestors in the making.

DISCLAIMER: Today's episode contains discussions of real-life murder cases, domestic violence, and graphic descriptions of injuries and death, including blunt-force trauma. While we'll be having a little fun with our Practical Magic-inspired true-crime parody, the real cases featured in this episode involve actual victims and families whose experiences are anything but fictional. We've approached these stories with care and respect, but some of the details may be disturbing. Listener discretion is advised. 🍳 DEATH BY SKILLET: Murder, Magic & the Deadly History of the Frying Pan | Episode 179 A frying pan. A murder weapon. A little Practical Magic. What do Sally Owens, a Bulgarian cowboy, and a disturbingly long list of real-life murder investigations have in common? Apparently... a skillet. This week, the Stinas are reopening the case files of Charmed & Dangerous and investigating one of Hollywood's most unlikely weapons: the humble frying pan. From the Owens kitchen to the infamous Frying Pan of Doom trope, we're exploring the strange history of cast iron, its place in folklore and witchcraft, and why watching somebody get clocked with cookware is somehow considered comedy. But what happens when movie physics give way to real forensic evidence? We're diving into actual murder investigations, courtroom testimony, and the chilling reality of blunt-force trauma—including a return to the very case that first sent us down this rabbit hole back in Season 1. And with Practical Magic 2 bringing Sally Owens's weapon of choice back into the spotlight, we have a few questions about the increasingly suspicious men in her life... Some secrets are buried beneath the roses. Others are hiding in the kitchen cupboard.

⚠️ CONTENT ADVISORY: This episode includes a discussion of historical werewolf trials involving allegations of violence against children, murder, and cannibalism. Listener discretion is advised. Last week, we followed the wolf through folklore, symbolism, and the world of Practical Magic. This week, we’re staying on the wolf trail—but turning our attention to one of the most infamous plants ever to bear its name: wolfsbane. Also known as aconite and monkshood, this beautiful purple flower has spent centuries straddling the line between medicine and poison, protection and danger, history and myth. But how did a plant once associated with poisoning actual wolves become so inseparable from witches, werewolves, shapeshifting, and the supernatural? We’re digging into the very real science behind one of the world’s most toxic plants, its long and deadly history, ancient mythology, witchcraft and magical correspondences, the modern Poison Path, lycanthropy lore, and the many ways books, movies, television, and horror have transformed wolfsbane into the ultimate supernatural plot device. AND... remember that little sidequest into the Werewolf Witch Trials we stumbled upon last week? Well, apparently we weren't finished with THAT rabbit hole! 🐺 This week, we're digging even deeper into the chilling history of people accused of transforming into wolves, the witchcraft hysteria surrounding lycanthropy, and the very real consequences of believing that werewolves walked among us. And, of course, we’re returning to the Owens poison garden, where wolfsbane may have a small presence on the page—but in The Rules of Magic, it becomes something far more significant in the story of Vincent Owens, death, transformation, and escape. Plus: Roman poisonings, witches’ flying ointments, Hecate and Cerberus, Shakespeare, The Wolf Man, Harry Potter, a bizarre Maisie Williams/Practical Magic 2 red string, and the question we somehow never stopped to ask: Why the hell is it called WOLFSBANE in the first place? Grab your gardening gloves—actually, maybe don’t touch anything at all—and meet us in the poison garden. 🌿💀 SOCIALS: ⁠⁠⁠Link Tree⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Sources DISCLAIMER: The Magnolia Street Podcast intends to discuss the movie, “Practical Magic” in its entirety.

There are few creatures that live so completely between the worlds of fact and folklore as the wolf. They've been feared as monsters lurking beyond the edge of the woods, revered as guardians and guides, transformed into werewolves, woven into fairy tales, and called upon as symbols of instinct, loyalty, protection, freedom—and the wildness within us that refuses to be tamed. And naturally, the wolf has left its tracks throughout Alice Hoffman's Practical Magic series. This week, we're following those tracks through all four books, with special attention to Faith Owens and her beloved familiar, Keeper, whose story gives new meaning to one of the most beautiful ideas in Magic Lessons: Love is a wolf. Then we're stepping beyond the garden gate to meet the real animal beneath the mythology. We're exploring wolf behavior and family dynamics, the truth behind the infamous "alpha wolf," wolves vs. dogs, howling and communication, and the complicated relationship between wolves and humans. From there, we're heading deep into the woods for wolves in mythology, fairy tales, witchcraft and folklore—from ancient wolf gods and legendary shapeshifters to Little Red Riding Hood, werewolves and lycanthropy, The Company of Wolves, and the Wild Woman archetype of Women Who Run with the Wolves. Finally, we'll explore wolves as magical and psychological symbols: intuition, protection, belonging, dreams, shadow work, transformation, and reclaiming the untamed self. Because after centuries of being told to stay on the path and beware of what waits in the woods... perhaps it's time we asked whether the wolf was ever really the monster. Keep your lantern lit, Witches. We're following the howl. 🐺🌙 SOCIALS: ⁠⁠Link Tree⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Sources DISCLAIMER: The Magnolia Street Podcast intends to discuss the movie, “Practical Magic” in its entirety.

The Stinas are back from Lancaster County, PA... and we have some STORIES to tell. In this special bonus recap, we're reliving our whirlwind Practical Magic 2 Premiere Weekend, beginning with a HUGE Magnolia Street milestone: our first-ever vendor booth and first acoustic gig together at Penn Cinema's Practical Magic fan event in Lititz! From there, things only got more magical... and considerably more chaotic. There were gifts exchanged, parents meeting for the first time, a visit from our friend Jeremy, a Magnolia Street music video shoot, and… another blood sacrifice?! At this point, we really need to ask: Is our song cursed? Then came Premiere Night. We donned our witchiest attire, reunited with our friends Crimson Calamity, Justina secured a highly coveted popcorn vessel, and The Stinas received an on screen surprise at Penn Cinema that we absolutely were NOT prepared for. Back at the Airbnb, we announced our giveaway winner and hosted our first-ever LIVE episode with an in-studio audience — but apparently the night wasn't over when everyone went home. Jimmy had other plans. Add in a wounded Stina, some suspicious Airbnb gremlin activity, a Blue Sapphire and several moments that probably require explaining… …and you've got yourself a Magnolia Street road trip. But perhaps the strangest bit of magic was waiting for us in plain sight the entire time, and we didn't notice it until we were leaving. What kind of tree was growing in the front yard of our Airbnb? Oh, witches. You already know. 🌿✨

💎WARNING: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF BILLY ZANE…💎 When Alice Hoffman published Practical Magic, she planted one small detail into Maria Owens’s story: a blue sapphire. Maria wore the stone until the day she died—a gift from the man she loved, worn to remind herself of what was important and what was not. But as Alice expanded the Owens family story, she also expanded the mythology of this little blue stone. Across all four books, the sapphire accumulates layers of love, wisdom, prophecy, magic, inheritance…and one particularly interesting mystery. Because somewhere along the way, Maria Owens’s sapphire goes missing. In The Rules of Magic, Franny sells the centuries-old family heirloom to help Vincent escape. As far as readers know, it’s gone. And yet, decades later in The Book of Magic, there it is again…around Sally Owens’s neck at her wedding, with absolutely no explanation for how it found its way home. Naturally, Justina couldn’t leave that alone. So in addition to tracing the sapphire through Owens family history and the chronology of Alice Hoffman’s writing, she’s connecting a few red strings of her own. Today, we’re filling in that mysterious missing chapter with a little Magnolia Street fanfiction we’re calling The Sapphire Gap. And then things get even more Magnolia Street.Because sapphires have their own fascinating history filled with folklore, superstition, prophecy, famous jewels…and curses. And following those red strings somehow brought us back to an inexplicably recurring Magnolia Street obsession: The Titanic. Rose DeWitt Bukater (WAS she a long lost Owens ancestor?). And, of course, Billy Zane. Justina has been sitting on pieces of this madness since Season Two: abandoned notes, unfinished theories, strange coincidences, and red strings that never quite connected. Until now. This episode is her Roman Empire. So grab your magnifying glass, your grimoire, your gemological equipment (and perhaps a life jacket) because after four years of Magnolia Street lore, we have to ask: 💙 Have we been circling the same blue stone all along?

We Just Saw Practical Magic 2 - Here are Our First Reactions! (With Phantom Wines) | IG LIVE REPLAY! WARNING: FULL SPOILERS! WARNING: THIS VIDEO CONTAINS FULL SPOILERS! IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN PRACTICAL MAGIC 2 YET, STOP THIS VIDEO AND GO SEE THE MOVIE BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH VIEWING THIS EPISODE! Now that we got THAT out of the way... HEY WITCH HEY! Grab a bottle, and hang on to your seats everybody because we JUST SAW PRACTICAL MAGIC 2 and boy, do we have big feelings. Thank you to Phantom Wines for sponsoring some delicious "margaritas" for our evening, this episode is intended for those aged 21+, please drink responsibly. For the first time in Magnolia Street Podcast history, we had a LIVE IN STUDIO AUDIENCE!! Thank you to all our friends and family for making this one of the most fun weekends we've ever had in the name of Practical Magic! After seeing the movie, we did an IG Live to discuss some of the initial thoughts we had about it. Here is the replay for your viewing pleasure... but there is more to come! This coming Friday, we will re-air this IG Live on our next episode, but we will also be including some additional recap of our Fan Event at Penn Cinema from Thursday, the night before the premiere. Also, these are just our INITIAL raw thoughts...we do plan on doing a more in depth analysis once we're both able to watch it again with our fine tooth comb... you know how we do... Tell us, have you seen Practical Magic 2 yet? THOUGHTS?

Practical Magic 2 is finally here... and apparently, so is Practical Magic EVERYTHING. Tequila. Makeup. Eyewear. Home decor. Clothing. Tea. Lip balm. Frozen yogurt. Pizza?! After nearly 30 years of fans having very little official merchandise to choose from, the arrival of PM2 has unleashed a seemingly endless stream of brand collaborations. And after listeners, journalists, and fellow creators kept asking us the same question, we finally decided it was time to talk about it: What do The Stinas actually think of the PM2 collab craze? We're digging into the official collaborations that completely understood the assignment, the ones that surprised us, and the ones that left us wondering what exactly they have to do with Practical Magic. More importantly, we're asking a bigger question: What actually makes something feel like Practical Magic? Because long before Practical Magic became a marketplace, the fandom was making the magic itself. For decades, artists, candle makers, writers, herbalists, jewelry makers, DIYers, and wonderfully witchy small businesses created the things that didn't officially exist. So while the Owens universe is having its very big, very shiny commercial moment, we're also turning the spotlight toward some of the creators who were already here. We're joined by Kate of Hearth Witch Home Co. to explore what Practical Magic actually smells like, and Gina Luker of The Shabby Creek Cottage and Illumine Magazine to talk about bringing the feeling of Practical Magic into our homes, gardens, rituals, and everyday lives. And ultimately, we're asking: if the fans helped keep Practical Magic alive long enough for this moment to happen, should more of those fans and creators have had a seat at the table when Practical Magic became big business? It's complicated. It's a little cheeky. And yes... we bought some of the merch too. So pour yourself a Midnight Margarita and join us as we attempt to answer the question: Can you really bottle Practical Magic?

This week, we're gathering around the table for a very special episode of Magnolia Street, sponsored by Phantom Wines.  Inspired by the everyday rituals that make ordinary moments feel a little more magical, we're exploring the history, folklore and traditions surrounding wine, and the way a shared table can become a place for storytelling, memory, connection and community.  We'll travel through ancient wine mythology and curious superstitions from around the world, explore the magical folklore of the grape, and share traditions passed down through our own families. Kristina takes us into her Croatian heritage, sharing memories of her grandparents, family dinners, toasts, and the rituals that shaped her understanding of hospitality and gathering. Justina sits down with her parents to hear their memories of homemade family wine, summers in Italy, and the stories preserved inside old bottles and family photographs.  Then, of course, we're bringing it all home to the Owens women.  We're tracing wine throughout Alice Hoffman's Practical Magic series, revisiting the Owens kitchen as the heart and hearth of the family, talking Midnight Margaritas, inherited recipes, kitchen witchery, Franny and Jet's rules for the table, and asking the very important question: If the Owens women were wines... what would they be?  Along the way, we're enjoying Phantom Wines' dark and alluring Proprietary Red Blend and rich and enticing Chardonnay, while uncovering the generations of Bogle family history behind the bottle, including the ghostly vineyard lore that helped inspire Phantom itself.  Because sometimes the magic isn't what's inside the glass.  It's the people gathered around it.  Explore Phantom Wines Follow Phantom Wines on Instagram SOCIALS: ⁠⁠⁠Link Tree⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ DISCLAIMER: The Magnolia Street Podcast intends to discuss the movie, “Practical Magic” in its entirety.

After weeks of revisiting the Owens family history, we've reached the final chapter. In this concluding installment of our Practical Magic book summary series, we're diving into The Book of Magic by Alice Hoffman—the long-awaited novel that serves as the literary continuation of the beloved story and the inspiration behind Practical Magic 2. Everything has been building to this moment. The Owens family curse has haunted generations, but now Sally, Gillian, Franny, Jet, Kylie, Antonia, and an entire new cast of players must come together for one final battle against the magic that began centuries ago with Maria Owens. We'll walk through the complete story chapter by chapter, breaking down the characters, timeline, major plot points, magical symbolism, and the emotional moments that bring the Practical Magic saga full circle. Whether you're preparing for the release of Practical Magic 2, refreshing your memory before heading to the theater, or simply want to experience Alice Hoffman's final Owens novel all over again, this episode is your complete guide.

The Book of the Raven has officially flown from the pages of Alice Hoffman's novels onto the big screen—but long before audiences see it in Practical Magic 2, one fan brought it to life by hand. In this episode, we're joined by Charlee of TV Gifts and Love, the talented UK craftswoman behind one of the most breathtaking fan-made replicas we've ever seen. Inspired by the first Practical Magic 2 teaser, Charlee didn't simply recreate the mysterious grimoire's cover—she imagined what Amelia Bassano herself might have written inside. We explore the research, artistry, symbolism, and storytelling that transformed a fictional magical artifact into something fans can actually hold in their hands. Then, after our interview, we turn our attention back to Alice Hoffman's novels to uncover the true story of the Book of the Raven. Where did it first appear? Why did Maria Owens hide it behind the walls of the Owens Library? How did it shape Faith Owens' journey in Magic Lessons, and why does it ultimately become the key to breaking the Owens family curse in The Book of Magic? Together, we'll trace the complete history of one of the Practical Magic universe's most powerful magical objects—from its mysterious author, Amelia Bassano, to its warnings about revenge, sacrifice, love, and the extraordinary price of breaking a curse. Whether you're counting down the days until Practical Magic 2 or following along with our complete Practical Magic Book Summary Series, this is the perfect deep dive into one of the sequel's most intriguing magical mysteries.

This week on Magnolia Street, we're turning our attention to the other Owens sister... Antonia. 🌹 Fresh off the heels of our exclusive interview with Alexandra "Lexi" Artrip—the actress who brought young Antonia Owens to life in the beloved 1998 cult classic Practical Magic—we're diving deep into one of the most overlooked character arcs in Alice Hoffman's entire Owens saga. Often remembered simply as Kylie's older sister (in the novels), Antonia's story is so much more than that. From a spirited little girl craving attention... to a teenager struggling with identity, jealousy, and self-worth... to the brilliant emergency physician who ultimately helps bring an end to the Owens family curse, Antonia undergoes one of the most remarkable transformations in the series. Together, we'll trace her complete journey through both the novels and the film, explore the symbolism hidden within her character, uncover the zodiac sign we believe fits her best, pull a tarot card to discover her archetype, and even determine her Myers-Briggs personality type. Join us as we celebrate the quiet strength, fierce loyalty, and extraordinary heart of the Owens sister who spent so much of her life in someone else's shadow—only to become exactly the person her family needed all along.

Magnolia Street Presents: An Afternoon with Alexandra "Lexi" Artrip (Young Antonia Owens)! Nearly three decades after Practical Magic first enchanted audiences, we're honored to welcome Alexandra "Lexi" Artrip, the actress who portrayed young Antonia Owens, to Magnolia Street. In this special conversation, Lexi takes us back to 1998 to share what it was like stepping into the world of the Owens family as a child. Together, we revisit her scenes from the film, hear the stories behind some of its most memorable moments, and explore what it was like working alongside an unforgettable cast. From the magic of the Owens house to behind-the-scenes memories that fans have never heard before, this episode is filled with nostalgia, laughter, and heartfelt reflections. We also dive into your fan questions, discuss the lasting legacy of Practical Magic, and talk about the excitement surrounding Practical Magic 2 as a new generation prepares to return to the Owens family story. We'll also revisit some old photographs that Lexi has been posting to her new public instagram account, where she has been sharing all of her memories from set, at the tender age of 8 years old! ⁠VISIT LEXI'S INSTAGRAM Whether you've loved this film since 1998 or only recently discovered its magic, this is a conversation you won't want to miss!
