Practical Magic: Real Witchcraft, Ancient Curses & Talking to the Dead
24m | Oct 20, 2026Just in time for Halloween, Allison DuBois welcomes Margaret Jamison of Granny Magic back to The Dead Life for Part 2 of their fascinating conversation about witchcraft, spirits, and the mysteries of the other side.
Is the magic we see in Practical Magic based on real witchcraft? Can ancient family curses be broken? And why does the mysterious number three appear so often in spiritual traditions, including the belief that deaths come in threes?
Allison and Margaret explore the history behind witchcraft, the persecution of accused witches, and the rituals practitioners use to connect with their ancestors.
Margaret also shares her family's Halloween traditions, explaining why October 31st is considered the Witch's New Year and how she honors loved ones who have passed. From sacred herbs and candle colors to ancestral altars and the thinning of the veil between worlds, this episode explores the deeper spiritual meaning of Halloween.
As Allison and Margaret remind us, Halloween isn't just about things that go bump in the night. It's also a time to remember the people we've loved and lost.
