In today's episode we deep dive on an easily overlooked floral symbol in the film! Lily of the Valley makes an appearance in the form of a fabric print, which Sally can be seen wearing in multiple scenes.

And no episode is complete without delving into the origins, science, magick, lore & symbolic significance of Lily of the Valley in cultures around the globe! Come join us as we honor this toxic wonder, which should be admired, but never ingested!

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!

Today we are talking about another one of our Practical Magic inspired original songs called "Blood Oath"! This song comes off the heels of our 2 part Blood Oaths & Magick series where we explored the sisterly bond between Gillian & Sally.

Join us as we travel back to February 2022 to the song that started it all, and Kristina surprises Justina with a previous version of the song inspired by her teenage years.

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

"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!
