While I find the story of The Craft more entertaining, the way the magic is portrayed in Practical Magic is so much more charming and recognizable. For example, they actually call to Hekate for aid in one of the spells. In a weird way, it's basically a rather blunt request for something, which, in my experience, isn't the way she rolls. While The Craft invented a sort of meta god 2.0 in a fictional deity called Manon.
I know, I know, it's comparing fictional apples... but it's always interesting to see how magic portrayed. Often it's absolutely infuriating, like the persistent idea that you need to be some sort of special chosen one. Which is why I like the end of Practical Magic, where all the Mums come together to improvise a coven. Showing there is magic in everyone.
So I am re-implement the midnight margarita traditions. Who's with me?

Romanticised ofcourse, But accurate with showing rituals, using the Zodiac, "old knowledge¨. And also how it was used for manipulating the folks. Drama is from 2008, it is like the playbook used after that till now. Intriguing is always to sense the Feminine or the Masculine use of Magic. I am not an expert. But grew up in mixed >>>
