As the light shifts and the wheel turns, we slip into the golden hush of autumn 🍂—a season of release, restoration, and root work. In this week’s episode, we cozy up with cardigans, compost, and a little cinematic nostalgia as we revisit the gardens of Practical Magic. Remember that quiet moment when Sally Owens is burning back the brambles? There’s more than yardwork happening there—it’s a sacred act of clearing, of preparing the land and the spirit for the darker half of the year.

We explore how the Owens garden might feel in early fall, what chores the aunts would be up to, and how their seasonal rituals mirror the ones we can do in our own backyards. Then we shift from fiction to the practical—offering real-world witchy garden tips for Mabon and beyond. From protecting perennials to harvesting the last of the radishes, we talk about why autumn is the season for magical groundwork.

Whether you’ve got a full moon altar in your greenhouse or a single potted rosemary on your windowsill, this episode will guide you through tending your garden and your spirit as the veil begins to thin.

In this episode, we slip into the uncanny world of changeling lore — the ancient belief that a loved one could be stolen away by the fae, replaced with an uncanny double. From the eerie ballads of Ireland to the shadowy forests of Scandinavia, we explore how different cultures have told, feared, and tried to undo the changeling exchange.

We’ll revisit the haunting true story of Bridget Cleary, often called “the last witch burned in Ireland” (though she was no witch at all), and uncover the protective charms, salt lines, and rituals once believed to bring the real soul home. Then, we turn our gaze to Practical Magic — where, if you know how to look, you might just find a changeling story woven into Gillian Owens’ possession by Jimmy.

Whether you believe in fairy abductions or see them as metaphors for loss and transformation, changeling tales remind us of one timeless truth: love knows the real you, even when you’ve been lost.

This week on Magnolia Street, we turn the page, literally and metaphorically, to explore magickal inks! From the smoke-darkened chambers of ancient scribes to the secret pages of modern grimoires, these enchanted inks have inscribed spells, drawn talismans, and summoned unseen forces.

In today’s episode, we dive into the hidden history and esoteric significance of magical inks. We’ll uncover ancient recipes with strange yet powerful ingredients, from oak gall to dragon’s blood resin, and even blood… yes, real blood. We’ll also explore the folklore of invisible inks that reveal themselves through fire or time.

Whether used to protect, conceal, summon, or transform, magical inks remind us that words are more than marks on a page; they are living spells etched in liquid intention. Join us as we trace these extraordinary elixirs across cultures and centuries, from the laboratories of ancient alchemists to the desks of modern poets, and of course through the pages of the Owens family grimoire in Alice Hoffman’s enchanting Practical Magic series!
