Practical Magic Blog Party Part 2

                                         Welcome To Part Two: of the Practical Magic Party

Hello my loves
There is a scene in the movie when Sally’s family is about to sit down to breakfast, as a precusor to the scene we see the children and Gilly creating a concoction, one in which she wanted to get rid of Gary.

This was magical syrup, since the intent of most magic is not to bring Harm, I will be remaking this recipe to instead bring sweet words to your family’s lips so you can communicate better, or even enhance your own communication skills.  We don’t wish to bind anyone to us against their will so we will clearly state that first
With Harm To None
Do What Ye Will
