Nicole Kidman is keeping Halloween magical.
Kidman, 58, shared a series of nature-themed tarot cards in an Instagram post on Friday, Oct. 31.
“Just a little #PracticalMagic for your Halloween 🕯️,” the Practical Magic star captioned the post, seemingly teasing the 1998 film’s upcoming sequel.
The cards pictured in the post feature detailed illustrations of an oak tree, an acorn, a bowl of salt, the sun and several flowers. The cards were photographed among lavender bushes and daisies. The last slide of the post included two of the cards on a candlelit table alongside a sketch pad featuring the draft illustrations next to pressed flowers.

While it is unclear if the tarot cards were a behind-the-scenes snap from the set of the Practical Magic sequel, Kidman tagged Warner Bros., the studio behind the film, and the movie’s official Instagram account.
Kidman will be reprising her role as Gillian Owens in the Halloween favorite’s sequel. Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest are also set to reprise their roles as the eclectic aunts of Sally Owens (Sandra Bullock) and Gillian (Kidman).
Channing, 81, will once again play Frances “Franny” Owens, the more no-nonsense of the pair, while Wiest, 77, returns as the kind, whimsical, understanding Bridget “Jet” Owens, read an official release.

New additions to the cast in the follow-up to the iconic witchy romance are Joey King as Sally’s daughter, plus Lee Pace, Maisie Williams, Xolo Maridueña and Solly McLeod.
In a statement earlier this year, the filmmaking team behind Practical Magic 2 — which includes director Susanne Bier, taking over from Griffin Dunne — said, “Twenty-five years ago, Sally, Gillian, Aunt Jet and Aunt Franny flew off the pages of Alice Hoffman’s beloved novel and into theaters around the world, and we are thrilled to bring the Owens family back to the big screen with Joey, Lee, Maisie, Solly and Xolo joining the next chapter in our story.”

Practical Magic, based on Hoffman’s 1995 novel of the same name, stars Kidman and Bullock as the Owens sisters, a pair of witches descended from a fictional survivor of the Salem Witch Trials who are fighting off a curse that kills the men they fall in love with, while learning to accept the most magical parts of themselves.
