We also dive into the concept of past lives and soulmemory. Share magical and practical ways to honor anemoia in your daily life Talk about planting a nostalgia garden withmemory-rich herbs like rosemary

Explore the vintage magic of listening to oldies, thrifting, and storytelling through secondhand treasures

Every Midsummer’s Eve, a sparrow flies into the Owens house and circles three times before being ushered back out—an omen, a tradition, and a mystery woven through all four books in the Practical Magic series.

In this enchanting episode, we unravel the deeper meaning of the sparrow: as a messenger of liminal spaces, a symbol of the Threefold Law, and a harbinger of magical thresholds. We explore how this unassuming bird flits through myth, literature, and folklore—embodying everything from divine justice to poetic rebellion.

We also dive into:

• The Wiccan Threefold Law and its connection to karmic return

• The literary "rule of three" and its mythic echoes

• Dream symbolism and the spiritual power of small things

• Cultural and mythological sparrow lore across the globe

• Why the "in-between times"—like Midsummer—are so ripe with magic

Join us as we chase the sparrow through story, spell, and symbolism… and discover what messages it might be bringing you this Midsummer.

Strike a match and circle the salt—this episode is ablaze with the power of Fire in Practical Magic. From Gillian’s wildfire spirit to Sally’s quiet, smoldering strength, we explore how the element of fire burns through the Owens family legacy—both literally and metaphorically.

We trace the flames of transformation across Alice Hoffman’s novels and the 1998 film: from love spells gone too far, to the danger that rises with Jimmy Angelov’s resurrection, to the flickering candles and hearth fires that ground the Owens women in warmth, magic, and memory. This isn’t just about spark and smoke. This is fire as lineage, as ritual, as protection—and as a dangerous force when untended.

We also dive into fire scrying, candle magic, cleansing flames, phoenix mythology, hearth goddesses like Hestia, and the symbolic fire that fuels the heart. Whether it warms or devours, fire in Practical Magic reminds us that passion and power must be held with care—or risk burning everything down.

✨🌞 HAPPY SUMMER SOLSTICE, WITCHES! 🌞✨
The moment we've all been waiting for has finally arrived...

🎶 Our debut EP Welcome to the Neighborhood | The Magnolia Street Sessions: Volume 1 is officially OUT NOW! 🎶
You can stream it on all major platforms or grab your copy on ⁠Bandcamp⁠!

In today’s very special episode, we—The Stinas—are celebrating not only the album’s release but the incredible three-year journey that brought us here. We’re diving into the archives—text messages, fan fictions, studio memories, and behind-the-scenes magic—that tell the story of how two internet strangers became kindred creative spirits (and gave Lennon & McCartney a run for their money 😉).

💫 We'll be spilling the lavender tea on everything:
— How we chose the name of the album— The meaning behind the album art— How & why we chose these 5 songs for Volume 1
And yes—today’s the day we premiere the full EP for the very first time!

Of course, we couldn’t let this milestone pass without a few heartfelt thank-yous. We’re sending all our love and deepest gratitude to our Crowdfunding Campaign supporters, the dream team at Plaid Dog Studios, and you, our beloved listeners.

This one’s a little bittersweet… but mostly, it’s full of magick!
Thank you for believing in us and for bringing this album to life. 🌼💛

Justina & Kristina

xoxo

HAPPY PRE-SAVE DAY, WITCHES!

We are so excited to announce that our debut EP Welcome to the Neighborhood | The Magnolia Street Sessions: Volume 1 is now available for Pre-Order on our Bandcamp! Pre-Save now and download our first single (and podcast theme song) "Magnolia Street" in its entirety! The whole album drops on the Summer Solstice NEXT FRIDAY, JUNE 20!

In today's episode, we are so excited to debut yet another Song-i-Sode for ya! This next installation of our SONG-i-SODE series is Session #13, with our Practical Magic-inspired original song "Drive For Miles"!

This episode comes off the heels of last week's Astral Projection episode, where we ponder more theories about Gillian's Joni Mitchell-fueled desert drive to see her sister all the way in New England.

As per Song-i-Sode tradition, The Stinas revisit their notes & lyrics and chat about how they wrote this song! They dissect their original work verse by verse, draft by draft, and take you on the creative journey of how they wrote the song from start to finish. We'll also explore original versions of the song, scratch demos, and lyrics that just didn't make the cut. Then sit back and relax as the Stinas debut their latest demo for this song!

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.

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!
