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.

It's getting hot in this cauldron, and not just because of the tequila.
Welcome to the ultimate Magnolia Street roast—where no one is safe, not even us. In this special episode, The Stinas turn up the heat and unleash the midnight margarita-fueled chaos as we roast:

🪄 Ourselves (yes, we re-listened to Episode One so you don’t have to)
🧂 Our favorite hater (you’re part of the story now)
🧙‍♀️ The entire Owens family (Jet, Franny, Sally, Gillian—you’re ALL on the chopping block)
🪳 The Deathwatch Beetle (hasn't worked a day in its life)
🍸 And yes, even the tequila bottle.

From petty potions to salty spell work, this episode is one hell of a chaotic cackle-fest with no shortage of DEMONS! Come for the sass, stay to laugh until your face hurts...

Get the marshmallows out, witches...It’s time to roast the whole damn coven!

"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.

Happy Mental Health Awareness Month! 🧠💗

This week, we’re lighting the black candles and calling in backup—because we’re diving deep into the psychology of Practical Magic. Joining us are our special guests Brittney Brownfield M.S., L.C.P.C. and Hannah Espinoza M.S., L.C.P.C. of Popcorn Psychology—licensed therapists and fellow Practical Magic obsessives—for a powerful conversation about grief, trauma, healing, and the messy, magical road between.

Together, we’ll unpack how the Owens women embody different trauma responses, what Jimmy Angelov’s behavior tells us about cycles of abuse and narcissism, and how rituals—whether magical or mundane—can be tools for reclaiming agency after trauma. We also talk about the symbolic power of sisterhood, inherited narratives, and how magical thinking can sometimes serve as a survival mechanism.

Whether you're here for the mental health insight, the witchy vibes, or just to hear therapists geek out over midnight margaritas—this episode is for you!

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

In Practical Magic, Earth is more than just a background; it's a living force. From the rosemary by Sally's garden gate to the salt in the Aunts' Midnight Margaritas, the Earth not only holds the roots of family legacy... it holds memory, magic, and survival. 🌱🕯️

We’ll explore the grounding power of herbs, gardens, salt, chocolate, and why, for the Owens women, Earth is a witness, a healer, and a quiet kind of spell work.

Light a green candle, slip off your shoes, and join us—because every story worth telling starts with the Earth beneath your feet. 🌻

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... And also with Leviathan, comes yet another unexpected Practical Magic Soundtrack connection!

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!
