[@studious_nonchalance]

I'm closing in on 53, and this movie has informed my life and my friendships ever since. I can tell you that growing into your older self, or "aunting" as my sister friends call it, is nothing to fear. And those close female friendships are so vital to living. There's nothing wrong with getting swept up into a good story and stories are, I believe, the fabric of our lives. Which stories we choose to live in matters, because the world can be hard and cold. We don't have to lean into that though. Bringina a little magic into the world is a radical act of love.

[@MaryintheCLE]

@studious_nonchalance, perfectly said! Also coming up on 53 and I actually saw this in the theater when it was released. Grab your inspiration where you can get it, I say-I’ve gone on entire trips based on a movie, a book, a video, and I’ve never regretted it. Not even once. Magic is everywhere. ✨

[@Alex_0823]

Love this 🖤

[@evangelinemolly]

So well put!!

[@jenniferrhoads3322]

It is so cool to hear someone talk about these thoughts and feelings. It makes me so happy and hopeful. Thank you Love your style. So beautiful🩷

[@evangelinemolly]

Aw I love to hear that!

[@veronicawebber-ib5vs]

Please make more GRWMs like this!!! You articulate your thoughts so well!!

[@evangelinemolly]

I’m glad you liked this vid!! I’ll think about more ideas to chat about

[@danyf.1442]

Not really into wicca, my brain is wired too rational and logical, but I thoroughly enjoyed the message of this video. Finding comfort in small pleasures, appreciating nature, being more mindful of our own (and others') emotions and needs are things we all should do more in this day and age!

[@evangelinemolly]

Yes! These are all just everyday practices anyone can integrate! I don’t even consider myself a religious person but witchy things have brought me so much comfort ❤️

[@Alex_0823]

Practical Magic is timeless! Ive found elements of it that have resonated with me watching it for the first time in my late teens all the way now to my early 40s. And I’m sure I’ll still admire it in my “aunts” years. I hope they come back for the sequel! Beautiful video and beautiful makeup 🖤✨

[@evangelinemolly]

You know a movie is good when you can keep going back to it year after year!

[@JH-kw8zy]

1. I love to see a redhead autumn tone thriving 😌 your style is amazing! 2. At 28 I'm finally able to sustain female friendships and I value them so much. I could cry talking about it. The deep love, loyalty, devotion, and emotional relationship that you can only have with your girlfriends is what i suspect will matter at the end of my life. I feel so sorry for guys missing out on the dopamine and serotonin of a girl's night. Once I was able to develope mentally enough to gain and maintain these friendships I felt so lucky to be a woman.

[@amygibson8216]

I’m turning 40 and this has been my favorite movie since I was 16 🌙✨ I tell everyone. You’re speaking my truth, girl.

[@evangelinemolly]

Ahhh I love that!!

[@LettieLolita]

I love how inspired you are and I completely relate. I have been slowly curating my personal space to be completely on theme for this aesthetic because it make me happy. I currently live in one small room space, but I have focused on my linens, trinkets, books and witch supplies so that my bedroom is essentially a tiny aunt's house. lol My cat loves it too. Please keep sharing your love for this, you are not alone!

[@DidiBeck22]

Your love for Practical Magic and the way it inspires you still as an adult is such a wonderful testament to the power of film and the power of stories! Also........ if you don't like Practical Magic, I don't trust your judgement

[@evangelinemolly]

Hahha agreed. What’s there not to love?! ❤️

[@auntiedramey3855]

I live in a geodesic dome. The only one in town. Everyone that drives by our house goes real slow. They must wonder who lives there. I love it! I'm a bet of an artist so inside my home I have a lot of paintings and crafts that I have done. I love living in a very different type of home.

[@mallyflower844]

I haven’t watch the movie in along while so I’m going to watch it again after I finish your video. I love your look and videos. I don’t know what exact movie would inspire me so this is an interesting topic. I have seen a few videos mentioning this movie so I’m very curious to see it again.

[@evangelinemolly]

Ooh hope you have a nice cosy rewatch!!

[@mommylap]

Close female friends are a treasure, and this movie (and the novel), are a wonderful example of patience and love for our family/friendships. Stockhard Channing is everything to me (since I first saw Grease in the late 70s) and the aunts in Practical Magic are so playful in their power. I find industrial surroundings very cinematic and romantic, and your story about foraging wild raspberries captures that vibe perfectly. I love the idea of everyday magical ritual, and creating your own main character energy in your life. This conversation is a great reminder of cultivating intention into life everyday. I’ve connected with stories my whole life, via novels, film, even songs. A big change in my life was when I reconnected more with some of my core friendships from my early adulthood. I feel like my choice to revisit that exuberance of my youth made lovely things happen in my life. Anyway, great conversation and video! I look forward to you talking about unlocking feminine power with your dance class! Happy Autumn Evangeline! (first day even!)

[@evangelinemolly]

I hope Stockhard Channing is in the reboot! She’s amazing. Industrial surroundings can be cool! When it’s misty and dark and the streetlights are glowing, it’s pretty amazing in its own way!

[@dantierandbalogh]

Ok... but its the way we both posted a practical magic video on the same day lol😆Soul sisters?!✨ I completely agree with what you said about the themes in the movie- I feel like it was completely ahead of its time. Great video & Sending love 🍂

[@evangelinemolly]

Omg! I’m finding my people! And wow, Practical Magic home design… sign me up! Can’t wait to watch your video 😍

[@jillbravo5252]

I loved this video! You’re so insightful - please do more content like this 💛 I am a Practical Magic girlie- I’ve read the book and have seen the movie more times than I can say. It’s one of my comfort books/movies which I gravitate towards anytime I have something hard happening in my life. Regarding female relationships, I cherish mine so much. I love my lady pals and am so blessed to receive their love and support- I would do anything for them. Can’t wait for the new movie!

[@evangelinemolly]

I love discovering how many people hold this movie close to their hearts!! I need to read the book!

[@kjosephine70]

I agree that Practical Magic is a vibe! I watched it last year with the my youngest son for the first time in years. There isn’t really anything to compare. And most movies that have a witch theme tend to be… a bit on the horror side? However, even as a Gen Xer, I still gravitate more towards Harry Potter 😂 Oh, and if you ever travel in the states, try to go to Salem, Massachusetts- I went last year and it was amazing (if you haven’t been there yet).

[@evangelinemolly]

I am dying to visit Salem!!

[@laurencomiskey1139]

Yesss!!! Love this. My bachelorette party was Practical Magic themed and it was SO much fun--midnight margaritas, witch hats, etc. Also very fitting bc I'm getting married at the end of October (less than a month to go, woo!!). It's one of my favorite movies, especially this time of year, but any time honestly. I've also been gravitating to that type of clothing/aesthetic style too - it feels so timeless and feminine✨🌙 My friend just loaned me the book that is based on the aunts' stories, I can't wait to get into it 🖤

[@evangelinemolly]

Omggg I need to do that for my bachelorette!! That sounds amazing! Curious if that book is any good. You’ll have to report back!

[@caitybelle]

My aesthetic is bookshelf. LOL my home is dimly lit, books and their dust, cat hair, dark wood and knicknackery from my mom’s house mixed with random sci-fi, crystals and dried flowers. It is safe space but also ancestral - which has been amazing in wake of the loss of my mom last October, since I’ve been able to find so much comfort in the space. I did a similar thing at work - made my personal office dimly lit and full of personality where my public space is more barren and business like. Gives me a nice retreat.

[@evangelinemolly]

Sounds like you’ve really been able to turn your space into a deep source of comfort. So sorry to hear about your mom ❤️

[@marywiththelonghair1330]

Love this! I loved that movie growing up, and still do. I’m nearing 41 and I’ve got 5’ of wavy hair and I wear funny shirts and multichrome eyeshadows and just be my weird self. Im not witchy / but I am weird lol. Aging is hard. While I feel fantastic at nearly 41 and I clock a good 10 years younger - it’s hard AF. And I’m not looking forward to 50. But at least people are respecting aging more now. Love your thoughts. I love the idea of bad ass, mature women. Guess we will just have to be them and be the inspo for ourselves and everyone else. Really enjoyed this.

[@evangelinemolly]

Oooh jealous of your hair! Mine won’t grow any longer. And yes, we totally have to start being the badass examples of women aging 💕

[@danilibo7005]

This is such a sweet video 🩷 I can relate completely to everything you’re saying. It is worthwhile making our lives more beautiful with movies, makeup, fashion, decoration, aspirations, etc. I romanticize about stuff like that all the time and it’s lovely to hear someone else relating to the same feeling. Kisses 💋

[@evangelinemolly]

Aww yes! Love finding that people feel the same 💓

[@KarenPiggott]

Love this vlog. I totally agree with ‘romanticism’ as it helps us escape this crazy world. I am 60 in February next year but certainly don’t feel that age or act that age. I am very grateful to be healthy & fit. I have become a grandmother for the first time and that feels fantastic. I love nature and the outdoors, I hope to escape soon the constraints of a full time job soon so I do something that makes me happier. I need to slow down after some difficult times over the years like many people. I always tell my children to look around and see the beauties of nature, like a stunning sunset or a tree in Autumn 🍂 Beautiful make up, thank you. Best wishes Karen 🤎🍁🍂🧡

[@evangelinemolly]

Congrats on becoming a grandmother! Sounds like you’ll be an inspiration for your grand kids 💓

[@samrivera8673]

Have you seen the film The Ghost and Mrs. Muir? Not witchy per say but has supernatural elements, a house by the sea and headstrong female lead, quite ahead of her time. Stunning cinematography. The ending is incredibly moving. One of my favorite films of all time. Also think you'd enjoy the magical films of Jean Cocteau, esp his film Orpheus. María Casares is a cinematic goddess.

[@evangelinemolly]

Oooh haven’t heard of any of those! Thanks for the recommendations!

[@irina.savchenko]

I got recommended this video and I'm so glad, love your aesthetics and the message. I recently read The Invocations by Krystal Sutherland and enjoyed it so much because it was the first time I truly understood the parallels between witchy themes and feminine power. Even though its YA, it has everything I needed for an autumn read, also it was surprisingly feminist.

[@evangelinemolly]

Glad you found me! I’ll have to check out that book. I love reading YA. It brings me back to being a kid and reading just for the love of it!

[@kaydimmick]

❤❤loved this

[@tikybutler7862]

I haven’t watched the movie but now you really made me watch it!

[@evangelinemolly]

Yay! I hope you like it!!

[@jorgelinaveny7268]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@queensdavis9378]

Loooooooove this video!🤎

[@evangelinemolly]

🥰

[@LilliumTO]

I know it’s not quite like being near the sea but I absolutely love taking walks down to woodbine beach :) seeing people strolling on the boardwalk, playing volleyball, sunbathing, frolicking in the water is so rejuvenating and magical to me! I’ve lived in basically every neighbourhood of Toronto and I have to say the east side has my heart because of the beach, little ethiopia, greektown, etc. speaking of pole classes, I used to go to redefine fit like every day when I lived across the street from the studio a few years back! but I pulled a back muscle while doing a shoulder mount and have been taking it easy since then 😅 hope you’ve been enjoying your polegress!!

[@evangelinemolly]

It’s so true! I grew up in the Beaches so I know that part of the city well. And omg! I go to redefine fit! I hope you get a chance to return!!! Small world ❤️

[@titi15rock]

Very interesting to listen to you and reflect on what you were saying. And I'll definitely check this movie out 😊

[@evangelinemolly]

Omg you must!!

[@MonikaAesta]

Aaaaahhhhh how lovely this topic is! I think a lot about how to look forward to getting older - this is a beautiful expiration of that topic. Your video background is very witchy-coded, I must say ❤✨

[@evangelinemolly]

We have to unlearn what society tells us about getting older!

[@Katelyn-uk4gp]

I needed this reminder! The daily grind gets too much, and the reminder to slow down is important ❤😊 Thank you for sharing this video with us ❤

[@evangelinemolly]

And we all have to come back to this reminder again and again and again ❤️

[@broadwaygenius]

I love Practical Magic!! I wanted to wear all their clothing and have a garden , hats and beautiful dresses ❤

[@evangelinemolly]

Livin’ the dream! 💃🌿

[@damariskener3612]

This video was so heart warming! Loved to hear about your feelings and thoughts 😀

[@evangelinemolly]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jackienolan9142]

Maybe look further than Hollywood for older female role models? Tons of them are out there!!!

[@evangelinemolly]

Oooh that’s so true of course. I suppose I meant, in mainstream media and Hollywood, there’s less examples but that’s starting to change which is amazing!

[@Lillith_Luna]

I loved this video. I have not seen the movie in years. Now, you've inspired me to watch it. I also find peace in the witchy things. Always have. ❤❤

[@evangelinemolly]

Yesss such a treat to rewatch if it’s been awhile!

[@Lillith_Luna]

@evangelinemolly I'm going to watch it now, if it loads up on Pluto!

[@Lillith_Luna]

@evangelinemolly i watched it! So good! Now my daughter who is about your age is watching it for her first time and enjoying it! Thank you for reminding me about it. 😍

[@albamoralesmunoz]

I remember watching this movie when I was very young with my mother and then at the end of it saying "Mom, I want to be a witch". She laughed and said to me "whatever you want darling" and here we are, enjoying this slow life and making it more witchy 🍁🤎🧡

[@evangelinemolly]

Omg I love that!!
