Welcome back our cosmic wanderers. 🎙️✨🔮🌙✨ We LOVE Practical Magic 1…and when we found out there was a sequel coming out, obviously there was only one thing to do: gather some friends and make a whole night of it. And by a whole night, we mean a full Practical Magic double header. We gathered in Tabitha’s media room, loaded up on some very delicious snacks, and started with the original movie from 1998. Then, when that was over, we packed ourselves up, headed to the theatre, and watched part 2. It was SO much fun! But rather than spend this episode giving you a play-by-play of the movies, because let’s face it, if you love the original, you probably already know the plot by heart, and if you’re excited about the sequel, you’ve probably already seen it or have plans to. So, we’re making this movie review episode a little different. We want to talk about the magic in these movies, and the magic of these movies. The ideas around intuition, love, family, friendship, sisterhood, ritual, the things we inherit, and why almost 30 years later, there’s still something about the Owens women and their particular kind of magic that so many of us connect with. But a quick warning before we go any further: this episode does contain SPOILERS. We’re talking about both movies pretty freely, so if you haven’t seen the sequel yet and don’t want anything spoiled, go watch it, come back, and then join us here. We’ll wait. So, if you’re ready to talk all things practical, and not-so-pratical magic, let’s get into it! **************** A huge thank you to our friends for joining us for our Practical Magic movie marathon, and for helping make the whole night just a little bit magical. We had so much fun revisiting the original, experiencing the new movie together, and then getting to think a little more about the magic in these stories, the magic around them, and what “practical magic” might actually look like in our own lives. And now we want to know what you think. What does practical magic mean to you? Which of the movies would you rewatch? And, most importantly, what is YOUR practical magic house must-have?
