2019 Beltane Sabbat Box - The Rune Box

Hail and Welcome, Sabbat Box Members and Friends!

The wheel of the year has turned once again, and we are heading onward towards warmer weather and the summer sabbats. The month of May is home to one of the “greater sabbats” of the Wheel of the Year, Beltane. Beltane, a "fire festival," is the sabbat that falls halfway between the spring equinox and the summer solstice, and is the sabbat opposite of Samhain. During Beltane our ancestors were well aware of the returning sun regaining its dominance over the cold darkness of the winter and early spring, offering a promise of the continuity of life and rebirth. It was a time for seasonal celebration and reverence to life. During Beltane, it is often believed that the veil between the living and the dead may also be lifted or is thinned due to the fact that within the Southern Hemisphere the sabbat of Samhain occurs on the same day as Beltane does in the Northern Hemisphere. During these times in which the walls between our planes of existence are blurred, the spiritually minded will often take advantage of these open realms and attempt to connect with spirit and divine the future throughout a myriad of ways. One of the more popular forms of divination that has been adopted within the Pagan and Wiccan community is rune divination. Runes offer both an ancient written form of communication and sigil magick that is steeped in rich lore and history. Runes offer a glimpse into the minds of the old Germanic people of the past whose wisdom shaped the concept of runes themselves, which in turn shaped how we communicate through language today. Within this special rune themed box for Beltane, we hope that each of our members are able to establish a deep meaningful connection with the magick of runes, while also discovering the hidden wisdom and secrets that the runes have to offer us in order to further extend our knowledge and expand our spiritual foundation.

      2019 Beltane Sabbat Box - The Rune Box - Shop The Beltane Box Here

      All of the items that we curated for you inside this box correspond with -or- may help assist you with the following forms of magick:

      • An intro to runes
      • Rune magick
      • Runic divination
      • Norse lore and mythology
      • Learn how to incorporate runes in your practices

      Runes are not just merely letters that helped to shape our modern alphabet, but they are considered to be a powerful and complex form of magick, conceived in the minds of ancients priests and magicians. Runes are a culmination of magick wisdom, mystic symbolism/correspondences, a form a divination, a form of talismanic magick, and a phonetic language, all of which are steeped in lore and historical significance. The commonly used Nordic or Scandinavian system of runes that is used (and we are focusing on for this box) is the Elder Futhark: a system of twenty-four characters used to communicate or mark words and ideas on everything from structures to swords. Today modern Pagans have reconstituted and adopted the runes into various Pagan practices, and regardless of the pantheon of belief, are still to this day considered to represent the ways and wisdom of our past

      Since the focus of this box is runes and the various ways they can be used magickally, we thought we might include a token of protection in the form of a pocket stone. This particular stone is engraved with what is known in Norse traditions as “Vegvisir” — a culmination of staves and runes that represent protection against losing one’s way or difficult obstacles. The set we had custom made includes the Vegvisir stone (etched with golden inlay on black agate), as well as a beautiful guide that goes deeper into the history and lore of this ancient and beloved symbol. Keep your Vegvisir stone in your car, your pocket or purse as an amulet for safe travels, or on an altar as a simple protection talisman. Black agate is commonly used in spiritual practices for its association to protection.

This timeframe doesn't even include the efforts made to manage the Sabbat Box website, the back end billing system, social media management, customer service inquiries, accounting, marketing, purchasing, networking, and so on. This is a labor of love and we enjoy serving the community!


      We believe in what it is we are doing and we sincerely hope that each and every one of you can see that the purest of intent and utmost care goes into curating each Sabbat Box.

      Odin - 2019 Beltane Sabbat Box - The Rune BoxDuring this particular time of the spring, many of our ancestors would begin planting season, if they hadn't done so already, and would have made offerings to the earth and various deities with the specific request of crops abundantly emerging with a bountiful harvest and good return. Like the Wheel of the Year, we turn (our attention) to the upcoming fire festival of Beltane on May the First, where bonfires, feasts, and communities coming together are in focus.

      Within Wiccan lore, during Beltane, the Lord and Lady (The Goddess and The God) have reached the integral point in their perpetual dance to come together in sacred union—with their young adulthood being the result of growing fertility and the ascendancy of light and Sun. Their love and infinite ebb and flow of separation and togetherness is cyclical throughout the seasons and during the turning of the wheel, but during Beltane, they become a symbol of divine union. Within this lore, their coupling of the divine feminine and divine masculine is meant to be a representation of nature around them. Their instinctual coming together to continue the cycle of life that would lead to reproduction, (a fruitful harvest), ultimately provides a way forward for new life to be brought forth -- New life being the ultimate return on love and labor invested.

      And while we have focused the past few year's Beltane Sabbat Boxes on the Gaelic/Celtic and modern Wiccan forms of Beltane celebrations, (which is one of the more commonly observed forms of this festival in observance within modern Paganism), we here at Sabbat Box thought we might offer a primer into another part of the world's practices held during this time of the year: those of the Nordic and Germanic pagans to the east, and the mystical beliefs and system of magick that stems from them: RUNES.

      The Codex Runicus - 2019 Beltane Sabbat Box
      The Codex Runicus


      As one treads onto the path of Germanic and Old Norse systems of Pagan beliefs, you will quickly discover that similar to all spiritual beliefs of old, it is filled with deep history and folklore made up of stories, legends, mythology, poetry as well as shamanic and occult practices. It is with these stories and mythological texts from the Viking age known as the Poetic Edda and the Havamal that people have been able to lay the foundational landscape for what has been molded and adopted into that of modern day Norse Paganism. Modern Norse Paganism is blanket term that can encapsulate the adopted practice of various pre-Christian beliefs during the "Viking Age" of Northern Europe. Norse Paganism is mostly rooted in ritual practice and tradition known as forn sið ("old custom") or heiðinn sið ("heathen customs") that has emphasis on rituals, actions, and behaviors rather than a "religious doctrine" or a "textual belief system" itself.

      Rök RunestoneOne of the larger aspects of those ancient Nordic and Germanic practices that many modern Pagans study and have adopted are the system of runes. Runes are not just merely letters that helped to shape our modern alphabet, but they are considered to be a powerful and complex form of magick, conceived in the minds of ancients priests and magicians. Runes are a culmination of magick wisdom, mystic symbolism/correspondences, a form a divination, a form of talismanic magick, and a phonetic language, all of which are steeped in lore and historical significance. The commonly used Nordic or Scandinavian system of runes that is used (and we are focusing on for this box) is the Elder Futhark: a system of twenty-four characters used to communicate or mark words and ideas on everything from structures to swords. Today modern Pagans have reconstituted and adopted the runes into various Pagan practices, and regardless of the pantheon of belief, are still to this day considered to represent the ways and wisdom of our past.


      It is in the spirit of this ancient time and ancient place that we focus our Beltane Sabbat Box procurement this year. We have collected a number of elements that provide insight into the age-old magick of runes, how they can still speak to us, while further learning what unique practices stem from Norse paganism and how they can help broaden our own spiritual beliefs. We hope that the upcoming summertime brings lots of light and life to you, and we hope that this Beltane Sabbat Box may enhance the bale-fires that we light inside us.

        The Celts—It is from their wise ones, their shamans, and their lore keepers that so many of our modern neo-pagan traditions we practice today stem from. For this year’s Beltane box, we thought what better way is there to further connect with our spiritual roots, the roots of those who laid down the foundation we use and and tap into, in order to draw forth and bring about change while also further providing spiritual nourishment and spiritual meaning into our lives? Many of these roots lay specifically with the ancient Celts; to further connect with their mysteries of the past is to further connect with ourselves and our practices today.

        To get a better understanding of the ancient Celts and to help unlock the mysteries and influence they still hold within Wicca and the craft, one must understand the ancient Celtic people’s connection to nature. the Celtic people had a very special connection with nature; more specifically, they had a deep connection with trees. The Celts believed that trees were harbingers of wisdom and information, each tree offering practical, magickal, and healing attributes. To the Celts, to understand the magick of trees was to understand the natural world itself. It was their way of connecting with and tapping into the raw elements in which we all stem from: “the divine.”

        For this year’s special 3 year anniversary Sabbat Box for Beltane, we dive deeper into the study of what the Celts as a people practiced and held sacred. Inside this box you will discover tools and information that will further assist you on your path by learning about the past to aid in the present.

        BREAKDOWN
        Inside each Beltane Sabbat Box is a specially hand crafted set of Ogham staves made by Dragon Oak. In order to unlock the spiritual mysteries surrounding the Celts, one must have a good grasp and understanding of the Ogham (pronounced “Oh-Em”). Though these handmade staves were included in each box to be used as a form of divination (meant to further enrich and deepen your spiritual practice), the Ogham is so much more than just a system for divination. It is an ancient creed, an alphabet, a form of communication and a unique system of folk lore and magick representative of trees and nature that was devised by the Celts roughly 1700-2000 years ago.

        Each Ogham staff set comes with the original 20 Oghams used by the Celts along with a reference guide on how to use them for divination purposes and is presented in a green silken bag.

        When it comes to the traditional use of Oghams, specifically for divination, it is believed that the person wishing to use Oghams should actually be the one who physically creates their own Ogham Staff sets — in order for one to connect with the very nature of each of the trees (and the journey it takes to ascertain the wood). The procurement process of the wood is believed by some to be a rite in and of its self. Also, in a “traditional" sense, each Ogham is technically suppose to also be made of the wood that the Ogham represents and corresponds to (i.e. a staff of Birch wood for the Birch Ogham, a staff of Yew for the Yew Ogham etc.). These sets that were included inside are the perfect choice for someone who is looking to get their feet wet with using Oghams prior to creating a full set themselves in the traditional manner.

What makes this incense unique is that it is comprised of 3 separate blends of oils, offering a changing aroma as it burns. Each stick starts with a base dip of purifying fir essential oil. From there as you light the tip, you will notice the first half of the incense combines with the fir to emit a light and airy aroma and energy, like the canopy of a tree. As it slowly burns, the scent becomes more earthy and grounding, like a tree’s roots. Perfect to burn when working with Ogham or Ogham divination..

            Celtic Tree Magick - Beltane Sabbat Box Theme

            TIME: We take pride in assembling each and every Sabbat Box by hand, no matter the amount of time it takes. We don't just throw your items inside a flat rate priority mail box like some other subscription box companies out there. We want your Sabbat Box to be delivered to you as beautifully as it left us, and it takes a tremendous amount of time to complete this task.

            This includes folding the boxes together, individually cutting each sheet of tissue paper by hand, weighing out the crinkle paper for each box, designing the flyers, coupons, stickers and brochures to be printed professionally by commercial printers, individually placing each item within their corresponding bags, individually assembling the boxes, individually packing the tissue paper within each box by hand and also putting together and creating product packing. This timeframe doesn't even include the efforts made to manage the Sabbat Box website, the back end billing system, social media management, customer service inquiries, accounting, marketing, purchasing, networking, and so on. This is a labor of love and we enjoy serving the community!


            We believe in what it is we are doing and we sincerely hope that each and every one of you can see that the purest of intent and utmost care goes into curating each Sabbat Box.

            • BELTANE SABBAT BOX THEME • CELTIC TREE MAGICK •



            BELTANE SABBAT BOXES SCHEDULED TO SHIP: APRIL 21

            Druids and CeltsIt was from the wisemen, shamans, and lore keepers that so many of our modern neo-pagan and Wiccan traditions stem from. For this year's Beltane box we thought...what better way is there to further connect with our spiritual selves than to connect with our spiritual roots; the roots of those who laid down the foundation in which we use and tap into, in order to draw forth and bring about change, while also further providing spiritual nourishment and meaning into our lives. Many of these roots lay specifically with the Celts, and to further connect with their mysteries of the past, is to further connect with ourselves and our practices today.  

            The Celts had a special connection with nature, more specifically trees. The Celts believed that trees were harbingers of wisdom and information, with each tree offering practical, magickal, and healing attributes. To the Celts, to understand the magick of trees was to understand nature itself -- it was a way of connecting with and tapping into the raw elements in which we all stem from.



            Beltane itself marks the halfway point between the spring equinox and the summer solstice, but the sabbat is so much more than just its astronomical and astrological significance. We celebrate Beltane--as well as the concept of the Wheel of the Year--thanks to the Celts, who marked this occasion as the one of the four fire festivals of the year. 

            One of the most recognized traditions of the Celts on Beltane was lighting a bonfire, which was meant to represent a celebration of the light and the sun as the days start to turn longer on the run up to Litha, (a.k.a. the summer solstice). Some traditions speak of the bonfire fueled by burning of the nine sacred woods, which come from the first nine trees of the Celtic tree calendar: birch, rowan, ash, alder, willow, hawthorne, oak, holly, and hazel.

            Another more modern Celtic based tradition is to use these tree's woods in a bonfire as a form of divination; a way to allow the flames and movement of the fire to provide hints and clues of what is to come, especially in reference to foreseeing the coming summer and harvest season. Since Beltane sits opposite Samhain on the Wheel of the Year, some believe that the veil thins once again on this day, making Beltane an opportune time to practice divination and connect with the hidden and unknown.

            Aside from using wood to divine fire, wood and trees have long held deep magickal significance to the ancient Celts. In fact, the Celts venereated certain trees, and from their profound adoration of trees emerged a sigil/symbol type of alphabet known as the Ogham (pronounced Oh-am), that historians believe was used for divination, communication, record keeping and more. 

            For this year's special 3 year anniversary Sabbat Box for Beltane, we will be diving deeper into the study of what the Celts as a people practiced and held sacred. Inside this box you will discover a variety of tools that will further assist you on your path of discovering the past to aid in the present.

            The Crystal Box - Beltane Sabbat Box For 2017

            Hail and Welcome, Sabbat Box Members and Friends!

            Beltane is here, which means its time to enjoy the increase of life and verdant spaces. The greenery is returning, the animals are multiplying, the air is warm and inviting. The Wheel of the Year has turned once again, and the sun is now spending more and more time above the horizon for longer days and bringing with it higher temperatures. For many, this is a very welcomed season of the year, especially after a harsh winter.

            This Beltane we at Sabbat Box decided it would be a unique change of pace for us to focus on one of the most cherished and beloved spiritual tools as inspiration for this box: the crystal. While the focus on crystals in Paganism may be fairly new to some, many people with different spiritual backgrounds are able to appreciate and connect with the beauty and perceived power of these shining earthly gifts, and for some, incorporate them into their spiritual practices, and in different ways. 

            We have curated a beautiful collection of products for the Beltane box that is completely centered around the use and significance of crystals. Everything inside this box is either....

            1. Made with crystals
            2. Made to be used with crystals
            3. Actually made of crystals.

            This is also our two year anniversary Sabbat Box, and many of you have been asking for a crystal themed box, so we decided to make this box happen, and we chose to celebrate our two year anniversary box with your special requests. We truly hope you both enjoy and can incorporate these crystal themed supplies into your own practice.

            • As some of you may know, as of now we are currently at our maximum membership capacity at Sabbat Box. We have implemented a waiting list for those interested in joining when membership positions become available. You can join the waiting list here

              • BOX SYNOPSIS •


              The Crystal Box - Sabbat Box For Beltane

              All of the items that we curated for you inside this box correspond with -or- may help assist you with the following forms of magick:

              • Crystal Magick
              • Meditation
              • Crystal Spells
              • Manifestation
              • Learning about crystals and their properties
              • Incorporating crystals into your practices

              Since the very first Sabbat Box shipment that went out to our members back on Beltane of 2015, we have curated the majority of our boxes to coincide with the general themes of the Sabbats. We have worked hard to include invaluable resources, information, books, ritual tools, spell supplies, as well as other magickal products within our boxes, in order to help you further connect with your spiritual practice each Sabbat, and to help you connect with the very essence of the seasons. Since we have greatly connected with the broad themes of the Sabbats over the past two years, we decided that going forward, when it comes to curating products for some of our future boxes, we will be narrowing in on more specific magickal themes (as they may relate to a particular sabbat), in lieu of just the Sabbat in general. This approach to the themes of our boxes allows us to dive a little deeper into more specific magickal intent, influences, spiritual workings and product themes.

              For our two year anniversary box, we decided to curate a special collection of items that focuses in on crystals, working with crystal energies, and incorporating crystals into your spiritual practices. Beltane is often represented as a time of manifestation, growth, and the coming together of the feminine and the masculine in nature. The crystal themed items within this box were curated to allow you to easily incorporate the use of crystals, (and their energies), into your various magickal workings, including the celebration of Beltane. Crystals are versatile tools that can assist us with various forms of magick, and are great for further enhancing our overall practices.


              • SEED OF LIFE CRYSTAL GRID • CUSTOM MADE ITEM •


              Crystal Grid Kit With Moon Phases - Seed Of Life Crystal Grid

              ITEM 1: CRYSTAL GRID.........$14.95
              • WHAT:
              Custom Made Seed of Life Crystal Grid w/Moon Phases and Instructions
              • WHO MAKES IT?: 
              Alaska Laser Maid 
              • WHERE CAN I GET IT?: The Sabbat Box Store or request a custom order at Alaska Laser Maid
              • WHY WOULD I WANT IT?: This crystal grid is a beautiful way to focus and create crystal arrangements, and is an easy tool that allows you to incorporate crystals into your spiritual practice.

              BREAKDOWN
              When it comes to working magick, the basic premise behind it is the same for the majority of people: it all boils down to one’s will and intent. Since this Sabbat Box was about learning how to incorporate different facets of crystal energy and crystal magick into your spiritual practice, we went ahead and designed these gorgeous “Seed of Life” crystal grids to be included within your boxes, and commissioned Deborah, the owner and artist of Alaska Laser Maid to make them, to help aid you with manifesting your intent. The Seed of life represents creation, growth and prosperity, all of which are common forms of magick to work during Beltane. 

              It is believed that one is able to channel and hone specific vibrational energies (in order to bring about a specific result) by using a combination of both sacred geometry and crystals in a specific arrangement...This is known as a “crystal grid." Using a crystal grid is an easy way to incorporate both crystals, and sacred geometry into your spiritual practice. We thought by including crystal grids inside this box that it would make for a unique way to have our members become acquainted with crystals (if you don't already use them within your practice), and to help you further connect with crystals if you already do work them.

              Each crystal grid featured inside the Beltane Box comes with:
              1 x 5 inch, custom-made “seed of life” grid with moon phases on the perimeter (made from Alaskan cedar)
              1 x Instructional how to guide, printed on parchment
              1 x Deep purple keepsake organza bag.

              Deborah Ross, the owner of Alaska Laser Maid, is known for her intricate laser etched designs. Deborah uses a 35 watt C02 laser to create her work. She also sources the wood used in her projects from a family owned mill in Alaska. She sands and finishes all of the wood herself as well. Deb sells breathtaking laser etched wooden rune sets, laser etched wooden Ogham sets, geomancy sticks, intricate tarot boxes, cedar incense boxes and more! Alaska Laser Maid is also able to do custom work too! Visit her Etsy shop and see for yourself.

              BREAKDOWN
              There are countless ways to work with crystals to draw forth their influences to assist us, and this beautiful crystal infused mist from House of Good Juju is specifically meant to assist with cleansing a part of ourselves that is important in both our spiritual workings and the mundane world around us--our aura.

              The aura influences people’s first impressions of us, sending subconscious signals to those around us. It acts as like our own personal “spiritual signature.” And just like with other parts of ourselves, our auras can become unbalanced. This spray was made to help restore it. Spray in the vicinity of your person and if needed lightly walk through the mist once it has been sprayed upwardly. Each spray is created and ritually charged during a new moon, and is blessed with a specific mantra, adding to its potency.

              INGREDIENTS INSIDE THIS SPRAY:

              • Cypress essential oil
              • Lavender essential oil
              • Lemongrass essential oil

              BREAKDOWN
              This potent ritual anointing oil by Sun’s Eye draws in both the sensual energies associated with lily and musk and the energizing vibrations associated with Carnelian, making this an ideal ritual anointing oil to use in combination with your Beltane celebrations and seasonal magickal workings. This ritual oil can be used to anoint magickal objects, such as spell candles or ritual tools, and can also be used to anoint people too. Beltane is the sabbat commonly most associated with love and sensuality, since it is the Sabbat representative of the Masculine and the Feminine coming together. This oil would be great to use in love spells, or to manifest love in general..

              • CLEAR QUARTZ STONE SET •


              Clear Quartz Crystal Points And Stone Set

              ITEM 6: QUARTZ COLLECTION...............$7.00
              • WHAT:
               6 Quartz Points & Crystal Quartz Tumbled Stone Set

              Sourced via Eclectic Artisans

              BREAKDOWN
              We specifically chose this collection of quartz to use with a crystal grid, as it is common practice to use crystal points with grids. The great thing about quartz, though, is that it is considered a “universal stone,” meaning that it can, in essence, be used for various intents (giving the user the flexibility for these stones to aid any magickal or ritual practices) when not using them for a crystal grid. Quartz is also said to be a stone that aids in clarity, purification, and some even use it to cleanse other stones or tools.

              The Crystal Box Sabbat Box

              TIME:
              We take pride in assembling each and every Sabbat Box by hand, no matter the amount of time it takes. We don't just throw your items inside a flat rate priority mail box like some other subscription box companies out there. We want your Sabbat Box to be delivered to you as beautifully as it left us, and it takes a tremendous amount of time to complete this task.

              This includes folding the boxes together, individually cutting each sheet of tissue paper by hand, weighing out the crinkle paper for each box, designing the flyers, coupons, stickers and brochures to be printed professionally by commercial printers, individually placing each item within their corresponding bags, individually assembling the boxes, individually packing the tissue paper within each box by hand and also putting together and creating product packing. This timeframe doesn't even include the efforts made to manage the Sabbat Box website, the back end billing system, social media management, customer service inquiries, accounting, marketing, purchasing, networking, and so on. This is a labor of love and we enjoy serving the community!

              We believe in what it is we are doing and we sincerely hope that each and every one of you can see that the purest of intent and utmost care goes into curating each Sabbat Box.

              The Wheel of the Year is turning as always, and it is now time in the Northern Hemisphere to celebrate Beltane, one of the cross-quarter Sabbats and commonly known as one of the four fire festivals of the year. The Sabbat is all about the new life and fertility that is thriving on the earth, and a celebration of the coming summer and the bright and healing power of the sun.

              The Crystal Box - Sabbat Box Crystal Box For BeltaneFor this year’s fire festival of Beltane we are focusing on an specific element formed from pressure and flame: crystals. We understand crystals naturally “grow” even though they are not alive, so the correspondence to Beltane and its ties to growth, fertility, and increase are a perfect way to observe a specific facet of our Pagan practice and work on our Path.

              We have curated a collection of items for this box that celebrates the use and the beauty of crystals and gemstones in our spiritual practice, as well as their ability to be used as spiritual tools. All of the items that we have curated for you to be featured inside The Crystal Box will either be made from crystals, have crystals within the product itsself, or the item is meant to be used in combination with crystals. We hope that you will enjoy learning and working with these sparkling components and are able to connect with what they can bring to your practice.

              With the correspondences to the elements of Earth and Fire, the power of heat and stone, the significance of pressure and growth, it is easy to see how crystals can directly relate to the time of Beltane. We hope that each item we are showcasing in this years  box will strengthen your connection to these cherished tools of magick.
