[@lesacotto5188]

I was 30 in 98, and my witchy side was in full swing by the time these flicks came out. I loove spending a rainy fall weekend watching them. I did write a ritual for a group based on the broom ritual in Practical Magic -- it was super powerful. The book is totally different.

[@Thewitchescookery]

I heard about the book being different from the movie and I saw it also has two prequels (is this how you write that word?). Would be super interested to hear about the broom ritual ❤️

[@venanciafox8765]

If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend a film from the early 2000 called "Chocolat" with Juliette Binoche. It's not necessarily witchy, but the magic comes in the form of a strong-willed woman shaking up a sleepy, highly religious village in 1950's France with her chocolate shop. It has a bit of romance, but the film is more focused on how the people of the town are helped and come together. Plus it has Dame Judi Dench as a cranky grandma, so you know it's going to be good!😂👍 And the chocolates look sooo tasty! 🤤

[@LauraC-z5c]

Yes this is one of my favorites too!!

[@kindcopywithjen]

Chocolat is 100% a kitchen witch movie!

[@SimpleMandy]

Yes to this!

[@margarethall1625]

This is one of my favourite movies plus I love anything chocolate.

[@batsanddewdrops]

Love that movie!

[@emazey5044]

Practical magic and the Good witch movies (2000's) are my go to for a nostalgic witchy boost. I love Cassie from good witch. I can definitely go for a brownie breakfast today! 🤗💖

[@Thewitchescookery]

I still have to watch the good witch! Maybe for another video 😅🔥

[@vallovesnature8449]

I was in my early 30’s in the 90’s. Bought a Laurie Cabot book since I was curious about myself. I seem to be a natural born Witch. More of the helper/healer type. Practical Magic is a favorite of mine. The Craft has an awesome soundtrack. Like they said “there’s a little bit of Witch in all of us”. Blessings always dear one 😌❤️✨

[@Thewitchescookery]

Both the music of practical magic and the craft is so good! And agreed - I think we only have to find / allow the magic ☺️✨

[@veracyning5572]

Wow! I haven't heard that name in years. I had to look her up. Laurie is still kicking. 90 years old now! She was one of my first as well, though the very first was DJ Conway. I was about 13, though. I was 18 when Practical Magic came out. This really brings me back ❤

[@WildNightBloom]

@@veracyning5572 still has a shop in Salem and I love her incense pouches!

[@brandyjean7015]

Parts of Practical Magic were filmed in downtown Coupeville on Whidbey Island, and the house was built in San Juan Island...up in my great Pacific Northwest. And you are probably right about growing up with it. I'm much older than you dear one, so I didn't grow up with it; but was still happily surprised to see Witches portrayed as real folk...not just evil, green skinned, warty nosed, hags.

[@SimpleMandy]

I was a teenager back in the 90s this brought back memories! The Craft was my jam and is still a guilty pleasure movie of mine. It opened a whole new world for me, and made me question everything, and to this day I still use the binding spell from The Craft. 😂

[@Thewitchescookery]

I am sure that a lot of people had their first introduction to witchcraft through those movies and series ☺️✨

[@SimpleMandy]

@@Thewitchescookery Definitely and a jump start into Wicca as well. I can remember being in high school and so many having Scott Cunningham books at the lunch table.

[@Thewitchescookery]

@@SimpleMandy yeeeeeees!! Hahah and there were basically no other books then wiccan ones

[@SimpleMandy]

@@Thewitchescookery There really weren't! 😂 It was either Cunningham, Silver Ravenwolf or Buckland's big blue book. I'm so glad we have more resources now.

[@OldManFerdiad]

@@SimpleMandy and those were the better books available haha! I still have Cunningham's Incense book and Herbal, they're great. Nowadays fortunately there is a wide variety of books on every flavour of magic, witchcraft and paganism. I do get nostalgic for 90s paganism a little, but those pre/early internet days really were rough.

[@jess3591]

The 90s were a very painful, frightening time in my life. But I have been putting lot of work--both practical and magical--into healing the old wounds from that time. This video gave me all sorts of inspiration for some fun, gentle ceremony that I can implement to honor the brave young girl who made it through those dark, horrible times. I find that the more love I send to my past self, the less likely past fears are to muck up my present moment's peace. Many thanks for helping me bring more magic into my healing ❤️

[@Thewitchescookery]

❤ I am sending you some extra love and am so glad to hear that this gave you inspiration for your healing journey!

[@marisad292]

I’m Gen X, so I’m always up for ‘90s nostalgia. I knew nothing about witchcraft back then, & I didn’t see The Craft when it first came out, but then a LOT of people told me I looked like Fairuza Balk in that film, so I had to see it. It’s an awesome film, & I’m so glad people are still watching & enjoying it!

[@Mother-Of-Intention]

I Found that Whimsigoth playlist a few months ago and it took me right back to the 90s! I think I fell in love with Practical Magic because it best represented my practice at a time when Wicca seemed to be the ‘only way’. The Aunts were definitely how I saw myself. I actually really like the book too which is a little different from the film.

[@clairreads6618]

What’s the playlist called?

[@hawthorngrove3629]

Practical Magic and The Craft are favourites in our household

[@Moccsnosocks]

Love the 90s vibes! The book Practical Magic was much better than the movie imo!

[@silver_fox_4297]

Thank you!!!!! During the last weeks I have been suffering a massive 90' nostalgy attack (I am a Gen X -1980- witch)!!! This video is a true witchy gift ❤ And a very uplifting one indeed!!! Thanks for your good vibes!!!! 🎉

They are so fun and kind! And that entire house is a dream but especially the kitchen and all the life in it ❤️ I still have to add the measurements for the brownies to the description box - will do so later today!

[@gramarye_cottage]

Practical Magic and The Craft are my go to Witchy movies I watch often. But you got I right I think when you said you have to grow up with them. I was a mother of a teenager at the time when they came out so I took her to see them, and I absolutely loved them then and love them now. Thank you for this clip I thoroughly enjoyed it. Your wardrobe is amazing ❤❤❤

[@kaiduran528]

OK whimsy goth is adorable on you! I can get behind that 😂 I wish I was cool enough to dress like that in the 90s, but alas I wasn't that cool. I admittedly haven't seen those movies either but perhaps I should! They do seem nostalgic!

[@thealaidlaw6696]

Hi Bex thank you for a brilliant video, in England we haven't had a summer it's just rained and rained, so I to have watched a lot of old favourite films, practical magic is a great film also love Hocus pocus , I know it gets carried away but on a wet cold summer day it makes me laugh, I am definitely making the chocolate cake, I may share it with the family if they are good or frog's they will become, sending blessings from our cottage in the English woods ❤😊

[@kylowr3n]

the 90s were before my time, but i love the aesthetics born at this time, especially the witchy ones!!

[@Thewitchescookery]

The witchy ones definitely have their magic! The other ones where questionable into the 00s 🤣😅

[@elizabethtrieu1446]

Bex, thank you so much for allowing us viewers to see a bit of one of your rituals via video. This is very helpful as I have been slowly diving into this practice for the last couple of years in my spare time. And I know some people, from my discoveries, are not always comfortable sharing certain parts of their practice. So thank you for taking us along with you. I deeply enjoy your content, finding these videos very helpful, inspiring, and entertaining. I appreciate your sense of humor and love that you show how to have witchcraft in the mundane. This is much needed for me as a busy mom of 2. Keep posting when you can (I just saw your latest q&a burnout/ how you started your channel/quitting (please don’t!!)). Many thanks for your hard work and content!

[@MegaBecca55]

My favorite from my childhood in the 80's was the movie "the worst witch" with Tim Curry,Faruza Balk and the lady from facts of life😅. I first began dabbling in witchcraft when The Craft came out. Wonderful video, thank you for this one! So very nostalgic 😊

[@hensmom6473]

I love The Worst Witch movie and series.

[@nigellablossom]

Oh my.. I feel old now 🤣 I miss the 90s so much!

[@Sweetinfernalcreature]

I was only a kid in the 90s but this video feels made for me. I grew up reading Raymond buckland’s books and begging my mom for the silver RavenWolf teen witch kit which I was over the moon about. I was so happy when she got it for me. I started collecting tarot cards and crystals, writing spells in my journal and watching all of the witchy shows and movies. I don’t think it’s a shock that as I grew up, I was open minded and “wise beyond my years” as adults would call it, because I had absorbed so much from the elder witches. What a time to be alive! I miss those days but I’m confident we can get them back. Magic can be summoned at any time, as Stevie Nicks would say. 💜

[@michaelhagley222]

Thank you from a 90s witch; this was spot on and the comments conversation is too..wonderfully nostagic.

[@DesertNebula]

I loved the 90s. What a time not wasted 😌 I've kept the witchy alive and it's still thriving 🖤🌌🖤🌌 I miss the occult stores.

Hi! I love Practical Magick. It’s one of my favourite witch movies along with The Craft.

[@mermaliade6631]

So many good 90s witch things! Honestly, the Craft was one of those things that kind of opened the door for me. It got me very curious and when I started looking these things up, specifically stuff by Gerna Dunwich and Scott Cunningham I felt that connection. One of the things I appreciated about the craft was that it wasn't everyone versus the witch. It was witch versus witch! Which was really different, especially during the time of satanic panic.

[@ProfessorBurlingame]

I'm not there yet, but I always feel witchy, spooky and cozy in the fall. But, I'm a fall baby, so I honestly just don't have it in me to feel that way in the middle of summer -- no matter the prevailing weather (and where I am it's peak summer weather - sunny, hot and humid as all get out). Still, I loved seeing some of my favorite fall witchy videos featured here. My go-tos when the season shifts into autumn include The Craft (Der Hexenclub ... LOVE that), Practical Magic, The Covenant; The Last Keepers, The Good Witch and the "All Halliwell's Eve" episode of Charmed. As always, it's going to be a gooood fall, and Im looking forward to it, but I'm content in summer now too.🙂
