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.
