Ep. 142: Necromancy

This week, we’re venturing into the shadowed crossroads between life and death — exploring necromancy, resurrection, and the desperate lengths witches have gone to for love and loss. From Sally’s tearful plea for the aunts to bring Michael back, to the infamous “trash witch” attempt that saw Sally and Gillian raise Jimmy from the dead, we’re unpacking how Practical Magic intertwines resurrection with grief, consequence, and feminine power.We’ll also trace these cinematic moments back through history — to the rise of Spiritualism in the 19th century, when séances, spirit boards, and table-tipping became tools for mourning and mysticism alike. What drew people to the idea of crossing that veil? And why does the line between devotion and desperation blur so easily when it comes to the dead we love?Light a candle, grab your salt, and join us as we lift the veil on necromancy, the Owens way.SOCIALS⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SOURCES DISCLAIMERThe Magnolia Street Podcast intends to discuss the movie, “Practical Magic” in its entirety.
