Ep. 38: Magnolia | Magick & Lore

In this episode, we deep dive into the world of Magnolia trees, OUR SHOW'S NAMESAKE! We explore their rich history, from their evolution during the Cretaceous period to their cultural significance in various societies. We learn about the different species of Magnolia and their unique characteristics, as well as their uses in traditional medicine and culinary arts. We’ll dive deep into the folklore and legends associated with Magnolia trees and discuss their role in film, television, and literature… and even ponder an odd connection to BEETLES 🪲 PLUS other concepts within the Practical Magic world. Did author Alice Hoffman consciously intertwine all of these elements or is this pure coincidence? Either way, this episode reminds The Stinas that it is in fact “ALL CONNECTED!”TOPIC MAP(00:00) Intro(12:00) Books and Movie(01:02:57) Botony of Magnolia(01:20:22) Culinary Uses(01:28:29) Traditional Medicine(01:44:21) Magnolia in Folklore(02:04:25) Magnolia in Magic(02:09:58) Magnolia in Pop Culture(02:19:25) Magnolia ConservationRecorded: 6/27/23SOCIALS:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SOURCES⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DISCLAIMERThe Magnolia Street Podcast intends to discuss the movie, “Practical Magic” in its entirety.
