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 episode of Magnolia Street is sponsored by Phantom Wines. For consumers 21+ only. Please enjoy responsibly.  "Pull up a chair, neighbors. 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.

Have you ever wondered why Yarrow, one of history's greatest healing herbs, appears in the witches' poison garden in Practical Magic? Join us as we dig into this fascinating contradiction and explore why Alice Hoffman may have chosen to include it. In this episode, we're uncovering the incredible story of Achillea millefolium, from its feathery leaves and resilient nature to its legendary reputation as the "warrior's herb." We'll trace its botanical origins, medicinal history, and ancient connections to Achilles, Neanderthal burials, Indigenous healing traditions, and even the divination practices of the I Ching. Then, we'll step into the magical side of yarrow. Discover its centuries-old associations with protection, love, prophecy, dream work, and witchcraft, along with practical ways you can incorporate this remarkable plant into your own magical practice. Whether you're a gardener, herbal enthusiast, folklore lover, or devoted Practical Magic fan, this episode reveals why yarrow has remained one of the world's most beloved magical herbs for thousands of years—and why its place in the Owens family's world may be far more meaningful than it first appears.

This next installation of our SONG-i-SODE series is Session #15, with our Practical Magic-inspired original song "The Man Under the Roses"! After almost a whole month of July summer magick, exploring topics like Fireflies and Kylie's Character Analysis, The Stinas felt called to showcase a song from Kylie's perspective that they wrote very early on in their collaboration, back in 2022! The song highlights Kylie's abilities to "see between the worlds" in the books & film. As per Song-i-Sode tradition, The Stinas revisit their notes & lyrics and chat about how they wrote this song!
