Geminikiss Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 i mean i know you cant stir your tea by itself or finding true love with a spell or whatever. i mean using the herbs and just the different stuff they were doing that was realistic.

Michele Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I happen to love that movie. And I TOTALLY love that house and herb garden!!! And all those lovely planked-wood tables.... ****sigh**** What kind of witchcraft is it? It is a family of women who believe in witchcraft and who live a life believing in what they do. It doesn't have a name, it just is. And as far as Hollywood goes, yes, it is embelished, lol, but take out the glitz and glam of Hollywood (yeah, like we should ALL look like Sandra Bullock!!!) and that lifestyle is (or can be) a reality. Just do it. (God, I sound like a Nike commercial, lol.) Just grow your herbs, close your eyes, imagine what you want, blow on the wind, be who you are... And as far as love spells go, I think that in love magic, the first thing the magic changes is you. So to quote from the movie, "Be careful what you wish for..."

Guest Grimr Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 The movie was filmed on an island very close to me actually. One of my favorite little spots to visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bewilderbeast Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Ah yes, it is a MOVIE there for it is embellished, but it is one of my favorite movies of all time. I love the house and the scenery! I wish I could live somewhere like that!! I also wish I had two crazy aunts like that- Imagine my surprise when I ended up with twins .... I thought about the movie, and it kinda freaked me out :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sue_ann Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Cool plans http://www.amasveritas.com/film/setting/elevations.html when I win the lottery all I have to do is hand these to the builder:eheheh: Love this quote on that page:Aidan Quinn comments, "There is palpable witchcraft in a place like this. All you have to do is stay quiet for a second, and the magic just seems to come in." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agahia Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Amas Veritas is just great;) I'm a fan of PM also. I would love to own a house like that even that that kind of house would look really strange in my neighbourhood;P Set designers made great job in Practical Magic..About the life that sisters have, i think i would really like it;) combined with my interior designer work ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElizabethNicks Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I've got to revisit the movie ... I watched part of it and dislike how the creators had changed the novel. So many of you love this film - i will give it another try. In answer to the OP's question - I'd say read the book, "Practical Magic" by Alice Hoffman. The prose is very lyrical and witchy.

Grymdycche Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Gotta say I loved that house too. I liked the movie so much I bought the DVD. Hah!There are some extras on the DVD, and "intro to witchcraft" segment, if you will, but it's very Wicca based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaterWolf83 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I love that movie. I agree with Grym that some of it seems influenced by Wicca.. but I cannot believe that fully. Through out the movie you see them curse, hex, and even smack someone with their eyes. They also kill a man.. and use necromancy to bring him back. They also banish his evil spirit.. so not sure. I don't know.. don't wiccan's believe that you should only send evil spirits from you not banish them? Like when the little girl gives that boy chicken pox.. Sandra tells her we do not cast or curse because she has given up the craft.. So I don't know.. As to the house.. I LOOOVE it! I love how it is set up. My husband loves that house as well.. and wishes we could build our own house because he would want it like that.. hmm build my own house...hmmmmm could be an idea ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandra tells her we do not cast or curse because she has given up the craft.. So I don't know.. WW83, I was only referring to the extra feature "Intro to Witchcraft" (or whatever it was called) on the DVD. That was somewhat wicca based, not the movie itself. Though the movie did sort of show that actions have consequences, I believe that's true regardless.And it still all worked out for everyone in the end.

LDG Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 This movie always reminds me that even know its hollywood, never forget who you are or hide it from yourself. To deny your talents is denying apart of yourself. I think it was one of the first movies to actually make me feel what i was doing was ok, on that note i have to say how much i hated The Craft "aftermath" and the hysteria it caused in my school. But when this one came out it made more of the people around me interested instead of afraid and i found some really great people and connections because of it. I watch it every so often when its a quiet night and im alone, just to relish in it, its my fav of all time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grymdycche Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Ironically, Fairuza Balk, who played Nancy (the bad witch) in "The Craft" is actually wiccan and was at the time of filming! Ever have anyone ask you about "Mannaw" ? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
