| Ep. 76: Blood Oaths & Magick | Part 1 | 12 Apr 2024 | 02:13:33 | |
"My Blood... Your Blood, Our Blood..." In Part 1 of this 2 part series about Blood Oaths & Magick, we will be exploring one of the most prominent and memorable scenes in the Practical Magic film: Sally & Gillian's blood oath. It is clear that the sisters have a connection that transcends time & space as Gillian makes a promise that Sally in turn uses to save Gillian's life. In today's episode, we'll acknowledge the absence of the sisters' blood oath in the books, however we pick out a "dark" characteristic that distinguishes it from the blood in the film, which author Alice Hoffman did not include until much later on in the series. Join us as we analyze the appearance of blood magick in the books, explore TV tropes and cultural practices, and take a trip down memory lane as the Stinas recount their own comical personal experiences!

"I want you guys to go close all the windows, there's a storm coming..." In today's episode, we continue with the spring themes and FINALLY tackle all of the rain symbolism throughout the books and the movie. From Jet's green "Daffodil" rain to Tom Lockland's "Red Rain" of death, the Stinas splash through puddles of new theories as they revisit Jimmy's stormy burial scene in the film. The Stinas then explore news articles for real life accounts of raining animals as well as colored rain that seems nothing short of biblical!

| Ep. 73: March & The Spring Equinox | 22 Mar 2024 | 02:27:17 | |
Step into the enchanting world of Practical Magic as we unravel the significance of the month of March within the book series and the iconic movie adaptation. In this episode, we explore that infamously inaccurate date from the movie that has us scratching our heads, the date of Sally's testimony: March 8, 1998. How could that have possibly taken place after the summer solstice? The Stinas piece together a timeline and wonder what the writers of the film could have possibly been thinking. We'll also chat about the birth & death days of some of our beloved book characters and ponder why author Alice Hoffman deems March 21 "The Unluckiest Day of the Year". All this as well as a closer look at The Spring Equinox also known as Ostara on the Wheel of the Year, it's old & new traditions and of course magick & lore!

| Ep. 68: Slut Praise | PART 3 | 16 Feb 2024 | 02:03:33 | |
"Since when is being a SLUT a crime in this family!?" That's right, we're throwing down some serious slut praise, sex positivity and free love autonomy in this episode. It's evident our Owens Aunts are very sex positive and we wanted to explore this construct and its (her)story. Join us for our 3rd and final installment of this SLUT series! This week we'll be discussing Slut shaming in pop culture, from The Scarlett Letter to the Sheela Na Gig and all of the Hollywood "Jezebels" that have been the victims of Slut shaming and revenge porn.

| Ep. 67: Slut Praise | PART 2 | 09 Feb 2024 | 01:29:29 | |
"Since when is being a SLUT a crime in this family!?" That's right, we're throwing down some serious slut praise, sex positivity and free love autonomy in this episode. It's evident our Owens Aunts are very sex positive and we wanted to explore this construct and its (her)story. As we gear up for Valentines day we encourage you to commune with your inner slut and spread a little sex positivity. Continuing from last week, join us for PART 2, as we explore the connections between Witches, Sluts and Feminism. We will take a look at how both terms "Witch" and "Slut" have been used as a tool to punish women and regulate female sexuality from the Medieval period all the way up to our very own modern times. We'll also challenge the double standard: Slut Shaming vs. Player Praising and the sexual inequalities that still plague society to this day. Tune in for all this and more! Stay Tuned next Friday for Part 3, the conclusion to this 3 part series. We'll be talking about Slut shaming throughout pop culture.

"Not without my Tiger's Eye!" What do you do when there's a "Blood on the Moon?" You grab your Tiger's Eye of course, that is if you haven't misplaced it! In this week's episode, The Stinas unravel new theories regarding Gillian's Tiger's Eye - the only crystal acknowledged in the Practical Magic film. We'll explore the possible answers to our burning questions: Why was it only in just a few scenes? Was Gillian only wearing it to keep Jimmy's power at bay? Why does it disappear after Jimmy's is dead and buried? Where did it even go? And were these all conscious decisions made by the writers of the film? And of course, we will be discovering the science, magick and lore surrounding this stone, including its use in the creation of ...watercolor paints? Yup! You heard that right!

| Ep. 63: Gustave Doré | Owens Grimoire Illustrations | 15 Jan 2024 | 02:39:11 | |
This week Kristina gets stuck in some kind of accent while we explore the beautiful and haunting illustrations of Monsieur Gustave Doré. The French printmaker, illustrator, painter, comic artist, caricaturist and sculptor plays a very sneaky roll in the Practical Magic world. We'll be chatting in depth about Gustave's life and inspirations, as well as three of his specific works that appear in the film within the Owens Family grimoire, "The Flood," "The Vision of Ezekiel" and "Don Quixote: The Figure in the Gown Stood Up". The Stinas ponder various theories as to why the creators of the Owens Family Grimoire in the film, would have included these three Dore pieces. Join us as we work to connect the dots and string together various threads that link Doré's works to Sally's childhood trauma. enjoy!SOCIALS: Instagram SOURCESDISCLAIMERThe Magnolia Street Podcast intends to discuss the movie, “Practical Magic” in its entirety.

| Ep. 61: "One Green Eye, One Blue" | SONG-i-SODE #6 | 29 Dec 2023 | 01:21:52 | |
HEY WITCH HEY! We are so excited to debut our first Song-i-Sode of Season 2 and our last of 2023! This next installation of our SONG-i-SODE series is Session #6! Today we are talking about another one of our Practical Magic inspired original songs called "One Green Eye, One Blue"! This song comes off the heels of Episode 59: a character analysis we did for our favorite pancake flipping man of the law, Officer Gary Hallet, as well as Episode 60 which was dedicated to Gary's rare eye condition known as Heterochromia, hence the inspiration for today's song! This original song is Gary's admission to Sally that despite his refusal to believe in fate, there is in fact something mysteriously magical about her. Join the Stinas, as they revisit their notes & lyrics and chat about how they wrote this Doo-wop style love song! We'll be dissecting our original work verse by verse, draft by draft, and take you on the creative journey of how we 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 Justina treats us to a small live performance!

So, today we're talking HETEROCHROMIA: A fascinating, rare and beautiful condition that Gary possesses which gives him one green eye and one blue. We'll also deep dive on different colored eyes in the world of witchcraft, magick and folk lore. Could two different colored eyes be physical evidence of the witch's call? IS GARY ALSO A WITCH!?! And what about the science? Were going to tell you all about the different types of Heterochromia and what exactly causes it... And this episode is not complete without some chit chat of pop culture.

| Ep. 57: Michael Nyman (Composer Profile) | The Lost Film Score | 01 Dec 2023 | 01:54:17 | |
Michael Nyman is an English "Minimalist" composer who was hired to compose the score for the film Practical Magic. However, just before the film's release in theaters his score was ultimately scrapped and replaced by the score as we now know it by Alan Silvestri. The original pressings of the Warner's soundtrack CD featured two cues from Nyman's rejected score. When he was replaced by Alan Silvestri, the soundtrack was re-pressed and Nyman's cues were replaced by two (shorter) Silvestri cues. In today's episode, The Stinas not only discuss this composition kerfuffle, they also deep dive on the successes and failures of the veteran composer, whose work has seemingly gone severely under-appreciated in the American film market. In an amazing twist of fate, one of Nyman's rejected cues from the Practical Magic film resulted in a magical collaboration with an indie artist, that gave new life & meaning to the once disregarded composition! With this episode, we hope to shine a spotlight on the life and career of Michael Nyman. So join us as we marvel at his amazing accomplishments and accolades, reinforcing the notion that our failures do not define us! WARNING: SPOILERS ABOUND!

| Ep. 56: Spinster Tropes | 24 Nov 2023 | 03:15:50 | |
"It's going to be you and me living in a big house... these two old biddies with all these cats" In the episode, The Stinas deep dive into the complex concept of "Spinsters" and a subjective look at "the child-free woman." This term also historically referred to unmarried women who exceeded the typical marriage age, often carrying a societal stigma. We explore the etymology, the evolution of the term, and its connotations of age, marital status, and expectations. The Stinas acknowledge the presence of the "Spinster" trope in the Practical Magic film, and analyze the many characters in the book who may qualify as such! How does the term resonate with the Owens women? We ponder a centuries old question that begs to be answered: Why does the term typically go hand in hand with witches? Contrasting the conventional "Maiden, Mother, Crone" archetype, we also examine the empowering image of "Eternal Virgin Goddesses" like Hestia, Artemis, Iphigeneia, and Athena. We explore the portrayal of spinsters in media, uncover stereotypes, and discuss the term's reclamation by single women. This discussion highlights the strength and resilience of women who have forged paths that defy societal norms, offering a compelling insight into the changing narrative surrounding the term "Spinster".
