Practical Magic
Down-to-earth sorcery
Practical Magic refers to the 1998 American film about two witch sisters navigating love, family curses, and small-town life, based on Alice Hoffman's 1995 novel of the same name.
The film has developed a cult following, particularly around Halloween.
More broadly, practical magic describes magical practices focused on everyday concerns—healing, protection, love—rather than ceremonial or theoretical magic: Her grandmother taught her practical magic for the garden.
