21. A favourite pagan/witchy movie.

As cliche as it is, Practical Magic. I mean, it's a romcom deep at its core, but has several things going for it: Sandra Bullock (I've always liked her), Nicole Kidman's hair, midnight margaritas, "there's no devil in the craft," and the prettiest BOS I've ever seen. Movie effects & Hollywood exaggerations aside, it's at least kinda accurate about the craft. And I do love the relationship between the sisters. It's very realistic, and when it came down to it, it was the strongest bond in the film, romcom be damned.

22. Favorite tarot card/rune/ogham stave/oracle card that carries a deeper meaning for you.

I have three personal runes. They are carved into my athame, and I consider them closest to my heart. I didn't necessarily choose them for myself so much as they just kept showing up, so I adopted them. In some cases, I didn't even realize why they were meant for me until years later.

Nauthiz - the need-fire. Essentially, trials & tribulations lead to strength. They are the fire in which steel is formed.

Perthro - the dice cup. That which is unknowable, the mystery. The ability to shape fate. The ability to see the hidden.

Dagaz - the sign of transformation. The walker between worlds. The liminal. The balance between two opposites. Dawn after a long night. Hope.

Wow. I now know what I want on my other shoulder to balance the Gifu/Wunjo cutting I got this June. Between my username and my connection to The Fool, it fits so well.

I might have mine incorporated into a future tattoo.

Practical Magic is a favorite movie of mine as well! Have you read the book? It's much darker than the film.

Yeah, I read it in college!

I LOVE Practical Magic - both the movie and the book, for different reasons. My sister and I have made the movie part of our Halloween traditions ~ no matter what is going on in our lives, we make the effort to get together to watch the movie and make midnight margaritas on Halloween night ~ even though we live 1,000 miles apart. :)

Heh, I haven't seen Practical Magic either

GURL. Don't make me come over there.

Honestly, I love Practical Magic. The best line by far is when Sandra's character is like "I don't want my kids running around naked under the moonlight!" and her aunt just says "Oh no dear, nudity is entirely optional, as you well remember."
