"We can't back out now, we're on the committee!" Merry Summer Solstice and Happy Litha to all of our neighbors here on Magnolia Street! In today's episode, dive into the world of Practical Magic as we explore the Magic of Midsummer! We'll discover the enchanting connections between the Summer Solstice, the symbolic sparrow that plagues the Owens household every Midsummer, and the threefold law! The Stinas rehash old theories about the film's timeline, and make some new discoveries revealing just where things may have derailed. After combing through old script drafts, they explore a new geographical location where the Aunts may have ventured for their solstice trip in the film, putting The Berkshires on the map and solidifying its place in Practical Magic lore. The Stinas then write themselves into a special fan fiction piece where a certain "time-traveling friend" revisits the Owens family for a Solstice celebration! And no episode is complete without the history, the magick, the lore, an epic rap battle between the Holly vs. Oak King, AND MUCH MORE! Join the Stinas as they uncover hidden gems and weave new magic into the Practical Magic universe!
