Step into the circle and simply exist magickally
Read the Books in the Series
With the official announcement of Practical Magic 2, now is the time to have the best Practical Magic summer ever.
If you haven’t already, now is the time to read the Practical Magic book series by Alice Hoffman. Each book offers a deep dive into the lives of the Owens family, filled with spells, love, and life lessons. Reading outdoors under the shade of a tree adds another layer of enchantment to your experience. Heads up, folks! Here are some affiliate links to the books, I’ve got to keep the lights on and the potions brewing:
Listen to the Magnolia Street Podcast
Dive deep into the world of Practical Magic by tuning into the Magnolia Street Podcast. This podcast offers rich discussions about the books, movies, and the magic that weaves through them. It’s a wonderful way to immerse yourself in the Practical Magic universe while you go about your day. The Magnolia Street Podcast is your perfect companion if you’re hungry for more Practical Magic.
Get a Practical Magic-Themed Merch
Support witchy artists by purchasing a Practical Magic-themed mug or other merchandise inspired by the movie and books. Every sip of your morning coffee or evening tea can be a reminder of the magic you hold within yourself. Plus, it’s a great way to enhance your daily rituals.
Wear Practical Magic-Inspired Clothes
Channel the Owens family by wearing clothes inspired by the different eras depicted in the series. Think flowing dresses from the 60s, chic outfits from the 90s, or even elegant pieces from the 1600s. Explore thrift stores or vintage shops to find unique pieces that resonate with the magical aesthetic.
Connect with Strong Women
Visit with the strong women in your family or friends circle. Share stories, wisdom, and laughter—just like the Owens sisters would. These connections are a powerful way to honor the feminine magic that binds us.
Brew Potions
Experiment with potion-making using natural ingredients. Create potions for love, protection, or simply for fun. Use herbs, flowers, and essential oils to craft your magical brews, and don’t forget to label them with your own special touch.
Dance Under the Midsummer Moon
One of the most enchanting ways to celebrate summer is by dancing under the midsummer moon. This tradition connects you with the natural rhythms of the earth and invokes a sense of freedom and joy. Gather friends or enjoy a solo dance, letting the moonlight guide your movements. The nudity is entirely optional. As you well remember!
Celebrate the Summer Solstice
Mark the longest day of the year with a Summer Solstice celebration. Create a bonfire, prepare a feast with fresh seasonal ingredients, and perform rituals that honor the sun’s energy. The solstice is a time for renewal and setting intentions for the months ahead.

Protect Your Home from Unwanted Visitors
If your broom falls, it’s said to be a sign of unwanted visitors. Protect your home by performing simple rituals like sprinkling salt across thresholds or hanging protective herbs like rosemary and lavender. Click here to see a front door warding and here for a home cleansing.
Watch Behind-the-Scenes Footage
To deepen your appreciation for Practical Magic, watch behind-the-scenes footage from epicscreenshots. Seeing how the magic was brought to life on screen can inspire your own witchy creations and celebrations.
Make Magic Black Soap
The Practical Magic Black Soap is a lavender-scented soap made by Owens women for healing the complexion. Craft your own magic black soap using natural ingredients. Black soap is known for its cleansing properties, both physically and spiritually.
Save the Blueprints for the Owens House
If you didn’t know by now, sorry to knock you off your broom, but the house wasn’t real. It was a facade and a set built only for the movie. However, for those who dream of living in the iconic Owens house, you can actually find the blueprints online. While it may be a fantastical aspiration, having the blueprints can inspire your own home decor and magical space.
Make a Pentacle with Whipped Cream
Add a touch of whimsy to your morning pancakes by making a pentacle with whipped cream. Necromancy is optional.
Try Floralmancy
Try floralmancy, a form of divination with flowers, much like Sally Owens does when performing a summoning up a true love spell called Amas Veritas. “He can flip pancakes in the air. He’ll be marvelously kind. And his favorite shape will be a star.”
Press Star Jasmine Flowers
Preserve the beauty of star jasmine flowers by pressing them. Use the pressed flowers in your art, journals, or magical workings.
Make Saguaro Pancakes
Get creative in the kitchen by using silicone cookie cutters or a pastry bag to make saguaro cactus-shaped pancakes. Make extra batter because they made it look easy in the movie.
Braid Your Hair for Protection
Braid your hair not only for style but also for protection. Braids have been used as a protective measure against negative energies. Plus, some of the most iconic scenes in Practical Magic feature beautifully braided hair.
Practice Everyday Magic
Incorporate small magical practices into your daily life. Always throw spilt salt over your left shoulder, keep rosemary by your garden gate, plant lavender for luck, and fall in love whenever you can.
