In the first Song-i-sode since the beginning of Season 4, we are so excited to debut yet another song for ya! This next installation of our SONG-i-SODE series is Session #15, with our Practical Magic-inspired original song "The Man Under the Roses"!

After almost a whole month of July summer magick, exploring topics like Fireflies and Kylie's Character Analysis, The Stinas felt called to showcase a song from Kylie's perspective that they wrote very early on in their collaboration, back in 2022! The song highlights Kylie's abilities to "see between the worlds" in the books & film.

As per Song-i-Sode tradition, The Stinas revisit their notes & lyrics and chat about how they wrote this song! They dissect their original work verse by verse, draft by draft, and take you on the creative journey of how they 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 the Stinas debut their latest demo for this song!

If you love our Practical Magic-Inspired Original Music, download our debut EP Welcome to the Neighborhood | The Magnolia Street Sessions: Volume 1 over on ⁠our bandcamp⁠, or ⁠stream right here on Spotify⁠!

We're shining a spotlight on one of the most beloved members of the next generation of Owens women: Kylie Owens.

From the sweet, intuitive little girl we meet in Practical Magic to the young woman who helps change the fate of her family in The Book of Magic, Kylie’s story is one of love, empathy, resilience, and growth.

We'll explore her childhood, her emerging magical gifts, her relationships with Sally, Gillian, Antonia, and Gideon Barnes, and the powerful role she ultimately plays in breaking the Owens family curse. We'll also compare Movie Kylie and Book Kylie, discuss her connection to Maria Owens, and even explore why we think she embodies some classic Cancer Sun energy.

Whether you fell in love with Evan Rachel Wood's portrayal in the film or Alice Hoffman's expanded version of Kylie in the novels, join us as we celebrate the character who may just be the future heart of Magnolia Street.🌙🖤🏡✨

Step into the glow of summer as we follow the flickering trail of fireflies through folklore, science, and the beloved world of Alice Hoffman’s Practical Magic series. From the enchanted pages of Magic Lessons, The Rules of Magic, Practical Magic, and The Book of Magic, we'll explore how these tiny lantern-bearers illuminate some of the series’ most memorable moments and what they symbolize within the Owens family story.

Along the way, we dive into the fascinating history and biology of fireflies—how they create their magical light, why their numbers are declining, and the surprising role they play in healthy ecosystems. We also explore centuries of folklore, superstition, and magical traditions surrounding these beloved insects, whose brief summer glow has inspired wonder across cultures for generations.

Finally, if you've ever dreamed of turning your own backyard into a firefly sanctuary, we've got you covered. Learn simple ways to create a welcoming habitat through native plants, leaf litter, moisture-rich spaces, reduced light pollution, and a few easy changes that can help these living sparks return to your summer nights. So grab a jar of sweet tea, settle onto the porch, and join us as we celebrate the magic, mystery, and lore of nature's tiniest lanterns.

As Practical Magic 2 approaches this September, we’re continuing our special lead-up series here on Magnolia Street—revisiting all four books in the Practical Magic saga by Alice Hoffman to refresh the Owens family story before the next film arrives.

In this second installment, we step into The Rules of Magic, where we meet siblings Franny, Jet, and Vincent Owens as they come of age in 1960s New York. Raised under the shadow of the Owens family curse, the three siblings begin to discover who they are, what magic means to them, and just how costly love can be.

Together, we’ll explore the major characters, family connections, timelines, emotional turning points, and the threads that weave directly into Practical Magic and The Book of Magic.

In this episode:

✨ Character breakdowns

✨ Timeline & story structure

✨ A note from Alice Hoffman

✨ Full summary of The Rules of Magic

✨ The Owens family curse and its growing influence

✨ Connections that carry into the rest of the series

Next month, we move into Practical Magic, where sisters Sally and Gillian Owens take center stage and the family legacy unfolds in the story that started it all for so many readers and movie lovers.

So grab your Midnight Margaritas and settle in… we’re heading back to Magnolia Street. 🖤✨📖

This week, we're exploring themes of identity, belonging, and self-discovery within the Practical Magic universe. We take a closer look at how love, family, acceptance, and authenticity weave through the Owens family saga.

We'll discuss character journeys that challenge expectations, examine some of the fandom's most popular theories, and explore why stories about outsiders, chosen family, and finding the courage to be yourself continue to resonate so deeply with readers and viewers. Along the way, we'll touch on the historical and cultural influences that may have shaped these narratives and why they remain so meaningful today.

Join us as we take a closer look at one of the most fascinating and often overlooked members of the Owens family: Vincent Owens.

Introduced in Alice Hoffman’s The Rules of Magic and brought full circle in The Book of Magic, Vincent’s story is one of grief, redemption, family, and the complicated ways love can shape a life. We explore his journey from a lonely exile living in France to the elder Owens who helps guide his family through one of their darkest chapters.

Together we'll discuss Vincent's gift for finding lost things, his history with dangerous magic, his enduring love for William, and the emotional role he plays in breaking the Owens curse. We'll examine how Hoffman uses Vincent to explore themes of queer identity, chosen family, loss, forgiveness, and the courage it takes to return home after years spent running from the past. ✨📚🖤

🏳️‍🌈 HAPPY PRIDE MONTH, WITCHES! 🏳️‍🌈

This Pride Month, we are diving into one of the most pivotal moments in American history: the Stonewall Uprising. Inspired by Vincent Owens’s storyline in Rules of Magic, we explore how Alice Hoffman places one of the Owens family’s most beloved and emotionally complex characters directly within the cultural landscape surrounding The Stonewall Inn and the early gay rights movement. As one of the first major male Owens family members in the Practical Magic universe, Vincent’s search for identity, love, belonging, and truth resonates deeply with readers, making this chapter of history feel profoundly personal.

In this episode, we discuss queer life in America before Stonewall, the 1966 Sip-In protest inspired by the Civil Rights Movement, and what unfolded during those nights in June of 1969 in Greenwich Village.

We also explore firsthand accounts from people who were there, common myths surrounding Stonewall, the Stonewall National Monument, and LGBTQ pioneers and activists whose stories stretch from the 1800s to the present day.

From the streets of New York City to the pages of the Owens family saga, this episode is a deep dive into resistance, identity, survival, and the people who refused to disappear.
