Ep. 83: "Meet Me in the Garden" | SONG-i-SODE #9

HEY WITCH HEY! We are so excited to debut yet another Song-i-Sode for ya! This next installation of our SONG-i-SODE series is Session #9!


Today we are talking about another one of our Practical Magic inspired original songs called "Meet Me in the Garden"! This song is a celebration of the Spring and the season of growth and abundance! This one was inspired by Sally & Gary's budding romance and their passionate movie kiss in the Owens' magickal lush garden at the end of the film!


The Stinas revisit their notes & lyrics and chat about how they wrote this garden inspired 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!

HEY WITCH HEY! We are so excited to debut yet another Song-i-Sode for ya! This next installation of our SONG-i-SODE series is Session #8!

Ep. 76: Blood Oaths & Magick | Part 1

"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! So join us as we cover history, science, magick, dreams, lore and more... of RAIN!

Ep. 73: March & The Spring Equinox

Ep. 73: March & The Spring Equinox

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. 70: "Can You Flip Pancakes?" | SONG-i-SODE #7

Ep. 70: "Can You Flip Pancakes?" | SONG-i-SODE #7

HEY WITCH HEY! We are so excited to debut yet another Song-i-Sode for ya! This next installation of our SONG-i-SODE series is Session #7!

Today we are talking about another one of our Practical Magic inspired original songs called "Can You Flip Pancakes?"! This song comes off the heels of our Pancake Magick & Lore episode where we explored these sweet breakfast treats throughout history as well as their place in the film and the books!

This original song poses a significant inquiry as young Antonia contemplates Gary's allure. He appears to be an ideal match for her mother, Sally Owens, embodying many qualities outlined in her mom's Amas Veritas Love Spell. However, before bestowing her blessing, Antonia implores Gary to address a crucial question: "Can You Flip Pancakes?"

The Stinas revisit their notes & lyrics and chat about how they wrote their cutest song yet! 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!

Ep. 69: Pancakes Magick & Lore

"He can flip pancakes in the air..."

Dive into the enchanting world of Practical Magic as we uncover the layers of symbolism behind pancakes in both the film and book series. When Sally Owens was a little girl, she wished for qualities in a man that couldn't possibly exist. If he didn't exist, then she'll never die of a broken heart... Little does she know, Gary Hallet possesses those very qualities, including a very special talent: Flipping Pancakes in the air. And little does Gary know, he's handling a murder weapon! Saguaro Cactus Pancakes anyone?

Through insightful analysis and spirited discussion, we explore how pancakes shaped history with its Pagan origin and Catholic Tradition , infusing magic into everyday rituals all over the world! We'll then discover how these historical hot cakes carry the weight of generations of Owens women that dates all the way back to their ancestor Maria.

Join us as we flip through the pages of Practical Magic, revealing the hidden significance of this seemingly simple food item and savoring the magic it brings to both the page and the screen!

Ep. 68: Slut Praise | PART 3

"Since when is being a SLUT a crime in this family!?"... Thats 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. We'll also explore different Slut Tropes and ponder why the horror movie genre has got it out for the females who are just simply comfortable with their own sexuality.

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?
Though Gillian's Tiger's Eye pendant appears only a few times throughout the film's entirety, it has made quite the impression, sending fans to Etsy shops in droves to purchase these coveted replicas!

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!

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!

"Always keep rosemary by your garden gate." Today we're talking about Salvia Rosmarinus, better known as Rosemary. That culinary, medicinal and not to mention witchy as hell little oily bitch that is such a staple in most gardens. How did it become such a versatile tool in ones' apothecary arsenal? Why did it have a name glow up in 2017? And of course, we fill you in on how it is connected to the plague. Join us here every Friday for new Practical Magic Inspired episodes.

Ep. 61: "One Green Eye, One Blue" | SONG-i-SODE #6

Ep. 61: "One Green Eye, One Blue" | SONG-i-SODE #6

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.


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!

WMSR Session #6: The Music of Michael Nyman

WMSR Session #6: The Music of Michael Nyman

Episodes with music are only available on Spotify.

Welcome friends, to WMSR Radio with the Stinas where the music never fades and the good times never end! Here is Session #6, brought to you by Magnolia Street Podcast! Every 10 episodes, The Stinas will go in-depth and chat about their favorite musical references from the most recent episodes.


In this episode, the Stinas revisit their composer spotlight on the English minimalist composer Michael Nyman who was originally commissioned to compose the Practical Magic film score. His score was ultimately not used, and was replaced by Alan Silvestri's score. Despite not being used in the film, Nyman's compositions have found a place not only among his underground following, but also with indie artist David McAlmont whose lyrical prose gave new purpose to the tracks with The Glare Album.


Today we will deep dive on all of the tracks from The Glare Album, in which David McAlmont retells modern news stories through lyrics set to Michael Nyman's instrumental scores. We'll also touch on a few other notable Nyman works!

Ep. 60: Heterochromia

Ep. 60: Heterochromia

"He'll have one green eye...and one blue..."

"I was born with it..."

When Sally cast her Amas Veritas love spell, she asked for things in a man that she knew "couldn't possibly exist". 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. We'll be gushing about all the celebs blessed with this rare physical trait and also discuss just what it has to do with... ANIME!?!

This episode is a giggly one so hang on!

Ep. 57: Michael Nyman (Composer Profile) | The Lost Film Score

Ep. 57: Michael Nyman (Composer Profile) | The Lost Film Score

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!

Ep. 56: Spinster Tropes

Ep. 56: Spinster Tropes

"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".

The Stinas are back at it again with another Magick & Lore episode! In this "killer" episode, we'll talk all about this poisonous and invasive weed that has James Hawkins wanted for murder in the book. This baneful herb is not prevalent in the film, however the Stinas speculate on whether or not Gillian may have been using it in the scene which is the center of their "controversial" astral travel theory! We learn about the origins of the herb's more common name "Jimsonweed" and its ties to a rather deplorable incident involving our militia and a bit of boiled salad.

Ep. 52: "All Hallow's Eve" | SONG-i-SODE #5

WARNING: This episode contains discussion of violence, mental illness and other disturbing topics. Listener discretion is advised.

HEY WITCH HEY! Today we bring you a very bittersweet episode...Not only is this the last Song-i-sode of the season, it is also our SEASON 1 FINALE!

In this Song-i-sode Session #5, we talk about another one of our Practical Magic inspired original songs called "All Hallow's Eve" and the enchanting film finale that inspired it. Join the Stinas as they revisit their notes & lyrics and chat about how they (witch)crafted the song to capture all the essences of autumn and the uninhibited feeling the Owens women must have felt on that magickal Halloween night, as they floated from the rooftop for all of the town to see! 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!

Also, as a special Halloween Treat, The Stinas have gathered more spooky stories to tell you! We'll then deep dive on All Hallow's Eve as it appears in the books, and the Halloween finale of the film as we ponder some thought provoking questions. Why did the screenwriters not go with the original book ending? What was REALLY the purpose of the film's whimsical finale?

The Stinas are still coming off the high of their BOSTON TRIP and catch up without trying to give too much away (Be sure to listen to our Boston Bonus Episode OUT NOW for the full details!). Kristina reads us a little Daddy Hades smut before the girls get curious about Jimmy's backstory. What was his journey from Bulgaria to Arizona like? Where did he sell his soul to the devil? What powers did he get in exchange for his soul? WHO exactly was Phoebe Stone? What events lead to her demise? The Stinas' new theories lead them to create some Jimmy Angelov and Phoebe Stone fan fiction, courtesy of "Jat BT". Join us for a laid back episode full of belly laughs and Justina's best Goran impression.

Ep. 49: Hauntings, Exorcisms, and Ex-Boyfriends | With Special Guest Avinash Patel

Hold on to your brooms, witches! This one's a wild ride! Cleopatra, The Stinas are comin 'atcha, from a hotel room in Waltham, Massachusetts because we are working on a very special Practical Magic inspired music project for you all! This one is a very long one, and for that, we do apologize. Although this is not considered a "BONUS" episode, it is indeed a very special occasion, so we are still treating it as such. This is the very first time Justina and Kristina are recording in the same room, together! So we are bringing you 5 hours of SPOOKY shenanigans! This will be a VISUAL episode over on the Patreon for our $8 Rose tier!

In this episode we are talking about "los espookies": Hauntings, Exorcisms, Polter....erm....PINEAPPLE-GEISTS and more spooky things to make the hair on the back of your necks stand straight up! We'll discuss Gillian's possession in the books & the movie, some words from the director, cast & crew on what it was like to shoot that climactic coven scene, and some real signs to look out for to let you know if a ghost is making itself at home, in your personal space! We'll get into the history, lore, and real life accounts of the most disturbing demonic possession & exorcisms to date! And as always, we take a look at how exorcisms and hauntings are portrayed in pop culture, including a few movie sets that were actually deemed to be cursed!

The Stinas also read some real life ghost stories submitted by their listeners & patrons, plus tell their own experiences with the supernatural! A ghost plays ball with Justina's cat, and Kristina is haunted by an ex-boyfriend from beyond the grave!

Today we welcome special guest, Justina's husband, Avinash Patel! All this and more! Tune in!

Ep. 46: Frog n' Toad Magick & Lore

Grab the Toe of Frog, you COMMONERS! Just don't eat it... and for the love of all that is good, PEOPLE, STOP LICKIN THEM TOADS!!

This week we finally deep dive into this long awaited topic - THE TOADS, THE FROGS... WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN!?!? The Stinas make some mind-blowing discoveries that finally "Make it all make sense" when deconstructing all of the frog/toad scenes in the movie and mentions in the books!

Ep. 44: Owens Portraits

Ep. 44: Owens Portraits

In today's episode, The Stinas explore the mysterious portraits adorning the walls throughout the Owens residence on Magnolia Street. They discuss Maria's painting as mentioned in the books and take note of a possible plot hole in the portrait's traveling capabilities! They explore more Titanic connections that lead them to believe that Rose was in fact a long lost Owens ancestor. No episode is complete without a deep dive into the movie scenes - The Stinas explore each portrait peppered throughout the film and the artists who painted them. However, most of the paintings in the film remain a mystery and many questions still beg to be answered - What are they called? Who painted them? What are their origins? And WHY were they chosen for the film? Do they hold greater significance to the Owens storyline, than meets the eye?


And that's not all! The Stinas explore Princess Sybille of Cleves, the subject of the film's most noteworthy paintings, as well as her entire family of royals during the rule of Henry VIII- not to mention one of history's juiciest catfishing schemes! Artists explored in today's episode are Barthel Bruyn the Elder, Lucas Cranach the Elder, Hans Holbein the Younger, Pietro Antonio Rotari, and Rembrandt Peale!
