• 2017 LAMMAS SABBAT BOX • KITCHEN WITCHERY • BOX BREAKDOWN •
Hail and Welcome, Sabbat Box Members and Friends!
It’s hard to believe that we are full into the swing of summer, and that the first harvest is right around the corner! We at Sabbat Box have worked hard to curate a collection of items for this year’s Lammas/Lughnasadh box by focusing on a particular type of witchcraft: the magick created in the kitchen. Kitchen witchery is truly one of the oldest forms of magic ~ not only was cooking and preparing food vital for the survival for our ancestors, but oftentimes (before there was a pharmacy) health remedies and other homemade cures and fixes started at the home hearth, making the kitchen the symbol of life, family, abundance, magick and more!
We hope that you enjoy these items that we’ve hand-picked for the celebration of Lammas. We hope they give you a deeper understanding of the season and help you to connect with the power and usefulness of kitchen magick.
- As some of you may know, 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.
- Do you or someone you know make a product that would appeal to the Pagan community? Are you looking to launch a product or get your product in front of a large audience? If so, lets talk! Sabbat Box is always looking for new vendors and suppliers that create unique items to feature inside an upcoming Sabbat Box. Sabbat Box is a great way for people to find out about you, your product or your company.

• BOX SYNOPSIS •
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:
- Lammas Rituals
- Kitchen Witchery
- Kitchen/Cooking Lore
- Creating/Decorating a Magickal Kitchen ~ Decorating a Kitchen Altar
As the Wheel of the Year makes its turn, we leave behind the longest days of Litha and find ourselves looking at the coming of Lughnasadh or Lammas. It is the time of year when the first crops are ready to be harvested and the bountiful results of hard work sown start to come to fruition.
Some people may not literally consider cooking in general to be an actual “ritual” or “spell,” but when it comes to preparing meals, the truth is, cooking and baking are some of the most fundamental rituals of people as a whole, not just Pagans. The work put into the kitchen, like the seeds sown in the field, can reap a harvest of sustenance, family bonding, celebration, and joy. What is a spell, anyway, but the carrying out of a recipe? In the deliberate intention that we exercise over our stoves, we are linked to ancient practitioners who worked over their own cauldrons, preparing not only the basic human requirement of sustenance, but also offering a sacrifice of love and toil to satisfy and show appreciation to their loved ones. There has been a long-held belief that when you are feeding someone something you prepared or cooked, you are sharing with them a piece of yourself, your will and intent, making the act of cooking a special form of magick, unique to itself.
Inside your Lammas Box, you will find an array of items specifically curated to help create a magickal atmosphere within the kitchen, as well as items meant to be used in combination with your Lammas celebrations to help draw forth and manifest the blessings of the earth that are symbolic of the harvest season.

With almost a year in the making to be included inside our Lammas Sabbat Box, this magickal mini corn dolly statue by Sacred Source is a symbol of abundance and prosperity, and is perfect for a Lammas, Harvest, or kitchen altar.
There are many variations of the history of the corn dolly, and the significance it has held. Ancient cultures believed that the “spirit” of the land would be homeless after the crops were harvested and barren, so a corn dolly would have been crafted with the first husks of grain of the harvest season, for the land spirits to inhabit over the long dark winter. It would have been honored and cherished until the followign spring, as it represented the abundance of the previous year’s crops, and the promise of the return of spring. Once spring came, the corn dolly would have been planted into the fields for the nature spirits to re-inhabit, to provide a hopeful return of a prosperous growing season. This makes the corn dolly an old and powerful form of sympathetic magick.
Check out our blog article, The Corn Dolly - The Spirit Of The Grain for a more extensive and detailed history of the corn dolly, where it stems from, and how it was used in the past and present.

• TIME •
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.

• 2017 MIDSUMMER SABBAT BOX • HERBAL WITCHERY • BOX BREAKDOWN •
Hail and Welcome, Sabbat Box Members and Friends!
It is that time once again! Litha/Midsummer, has arrived, meaning the height of the God’s power (and the heat of the season) is in full effect. The fullness of life and abundance is on display, and with it the light of the sun diminishes the darkness and with it brings forth hope for answers to life’s obstacles and revelations of dark mysteries.
This Litha we decided to focus on onee particular recipient of all this solar energy: herbs. It is now time to start to gather those green plants--even the ones that many may associate as “weeds”--and add them to our magickal cabinet for future use.
Herbs are not just for cooking and natural medicines, but they offer us a way incorporate their various and unique correspondent energies into our spiritual practices. Whether sprinkled on fire, steeped in tea, or any other of the myriad applications of herbs in magickal practice, herbs give us a direct gift from the earth to incorporate into ourselves and provide a boundless connection to our world and environment.
- 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 •
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:
- Herb Magick
- Purification
- Hedge Witchery & Green Witchery
- Discovering how herbs are able to be used in many forms, to aid with our spiritual practices.
With the summer solstice upon us, we look to the sky to honor the sun and all that it bestows upon us, just like our ancestors did. It is this very sun, our own special star, that provides for us as a people, the ability to survive and flourish (as well as every living thing on this planet). Our ancestors knew this, and a vast majority of them would take note of the celestial patterns of the cosmos, marking days like the solstices as holy days, and making them a time to honor the fiery body that brings with it warmth and the ability for life itself to carry on.
Within modern Paganism and witchcraft today, plants and herbs play one of the most integral roles in our spiritual practice. Many of our spiritual tools are made from them (incense, oils, candles), and we incorporate them into sacred rites and ceremony, for the correspondences they hold. They even adorn our sacred space, just as they were originally used throughout time, adding further connection between herbs, the craft, and the sabbats.
Though it is not one of the three harvest sabbats like the sabbats that follow it, Midsummer has long been associated with being a time when the abundance of the earth starts to become more prevalent, especially within the plant kingdom. Thanks to the longer days and the warmth of the sun, many types of herbs and plants will begin to mature around this time of year, and when harvested, the solar energy that helped each plant to grow, remains within them and will be transferred to us when we use them. This, in essence marks a direct connection between what grows from the ground and the sun.

ITEM 5: HERBAL SMUDGE STICK 7".........$12.00
• WHAT: Ascension 7” Desert Sage Smudge Stick w/Lavender, Myrrh, and Angelica
• WHO MAKES IT?: Wolf Spirit Sage
• WHERE CAN I GET IT?: Available at Sabbat Box sourced via Eclectic Artisans.
• WHY WOULD I WANT IT?: This large smudge stick is a great way to connect and protect, heal and purify.
BREAKDOWN
Another way herbs are used and implemented within our spiritual practices is to burn them for a specific purpose or intent. One of the more commonly known ways to do such is with a “smudging ceremony,” which consists of burning a smudge stick and wafting its smoke amongst people or in a designated space.
CORRESPONDENCES:
- Desert Sage: (Artemesia tridentata) Desert sage has long been a popular herb to be used for cleansing and purification and is often used in healing rituals. Though it has a similar aroma to white sage, desert sage is not as strong when burning, making it popular with people that may not be able to normally use white sage.
- Lavender: (Lavendula officinale) is commonly associated with healing, peace and tranquility.
- Myrrh: (Commiphora myrrha) Myrrh is a resin that is burned to raise energy and the vibration of a space. It is also said to be used for protection, exorcism, healing and consecration.
- Angelica: (Angelica archangelica) Angelica is used for protection magick, exorcism and healing ceremonies. Some also use angelica to work with angelic beings as well as petitioning the divine.
It is believed that when burned, the corresponding properties (as well as the spirit of the herbs or plants) come forth to aid in the ritual or ceremony. The “Ascension” smudge stick is made up of a rare blend or herbs and resins meant to aid with healing, protection, purification and connecting with the divine.
• CITRINE CRYSTAL SET •
ITEM 6: STONE SET...............$1.95
• WHAT: Citrine Crystal Kit with Informational Card and Organza Bag
• WHO MAKES IT?: Produced by Sabbat Box
• WHERE CAN I GET IT?: Available at the Sabbat Box Store
• WHY WOULD I WANT IT?: This beautiful crystal specimen is a great focal point and correspondent to the power of the sun and all the blessings of Midsummer.
BREAKDOWN
Midsummer is often associated with abundance, growth, success, and prosperity, so we decided to include a crystal that held similar correspondences to the celebration of the Sabbat. Citrine is often considered to be a stone of great power and is associated with good luck. It is also believed that citrine is a stone that is powered by the sun and has a reputation of increasing energy while transmuting negative energy, making it a great stone to work with or have on an altar during summer solstice rituals.

Discover the 2017 Beltane Sabbat Box • The Crystal Box 1
• 2017 BELTANE SABBAT BOX • THE CRYSTAL BOX • BOX BREAKDOWN •
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.
- Do you or someone you know make a product that would appeal to the Pagan community? Are you looking to launch a product or get your product in front of a large audience? If so, lets talk! Sabbat Box is always looking for new vendors and suppliers that create unique items to feature inside an upcoming Sabbat Box. Sabbat Box is a great way for people to find out about you, your product or your company. Whether you are looking to advertise inside the box or wish to feature a product within a box, we would love to hear from you. Register to become a Sabbat Box Supplier/Advertiser today.
• BOX SYNOPSIS •
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 •
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.
• CRYSTAL INFUSED - AURA CLEANSING MIST •
ITEM 2: AURA CLEANSING MIST.........$12.00
• WHAT: Aura Cleansing Mist with Quartz, Fluorite, and Amethyst
• WHO MAKES IT?: House of Good Juju
• WHERE CAN I GET IT?: Available at House of Good Juju or the Sabbat Box Store
• WHY WOULD I WANT IT?: This clean, pleasantly-scented spray mist makes for a fragrant way to help clear and cleanse your aura from negativity and perceived attachments with the help of crystal magick.
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
- Grapefruit essential oil
- Cedar essential oil
- Rosemary essential oil
- Agrimony
- Cypress leaves
- Lavender
- Lemongrass
- Spring water
- High grade vodka
CRYSTALS INCLUDED INSIDE:
Amethyst, Clear Quartz and Fluorite.
Located in Utah, House of Good Juju was started by Kimmy, an intuitive, healer, and root worker. House of Good Juju sells quality metaphysical supplies, and specializes in crystal candles, aura mists and even encourages custom orders. Items are crafted in the appropriate moon cycle and day of the week depending on intent. Special attention to all the details required to make each item Spiritually potent and Energetically charged. Everything is infused with Magick, Blessings, Love, Light, and Good JuJu!
• CRYSTAL INTENTION NECKLACES •
ITEM 3: CRYSTAL NECKLACES..........$13.95
• WHAT: Crystal Intention Necklace Kits
• WHO MAKES IT?: Produced by Sabbat Box
• WHERE CAN I GET IT?: Available at the Sabbat Box Store
• WHY WOULD I WANT IT?: These necklaces are a beautiful way to keep a crystal close to you all day.
BREAKDOWN
Our crystal point necklaces are a beautiful piece of jewelry for anyone looking to connect with the corresponding properties of a specific crystal, or for those who just simply appreciate the beauty of crystals.
Each special crystal necklace kits come with:
1 x Adjustable 24” fabric cord with a lobster clasp,
1 x Hand-stamped cotton muslin keepsake bag
1 x One of seven crystal point pendants with a stainless steel bezel
1 x Corresponding crystal info card
There were seven different necklace types you could have received
Amethyst, aventurine, black onyx, lapis, malachite, quartz, and tiger’s eye were among the selections. These crystal necklaces were chosen for Sabbat Box to help one connect with their specific corresponding properties, and what better way to manifest those properties than by wearing the crystal itself?
• CARNELIAN RITUAL OIL •
ITEM 4: RITUAL OIL..........$7.95
• WHAT: Gem Scents Carnelian Ritual Anointing Oil
• WHO MAKES IT?: Sun's Eye
• WHERE CAN I GET IT?: Available at Sun's Eye and the Sabbat Box Store
• WHY WOULD I WANT IT?: The high-quality oil blend from Sun’s Eye is a wonderfully smelling ritual oil imbued with the energies associated with carnelian.
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..
• CRYSTAL INFO CARDS/ORACLE DECK •
ITEM 5: CRYSTAL DECK.........$6.95
• WHAT: Healing Crystals Information Cards & Oracle Deck (Deck #1 of 3)
• WHO MAKES IT?: Healing Crystals
• WHERE CAN I GET IT?: Available at Healing Crystals or Sabbat Box
• WHY WOULD I WANT IT?: This colorful deck provides an enjoyable way to study the many different crystals used in spiritual and energy work and to learn their correspondences and uses. It can also double as an oracle deck and infuse the power of crystals into your divinatory practice.
BREAKDOWN
These beautiful crystal information cards/oracle decks are an invaluable tool for anyone who works with crystals. Each deck includes 47 info cards with the name and picture of each crystal, three metaphysical attributes, an affirmation for each crystal, as well as its corresponding chakra info, stone family, and crystal system of each stone displayed on the cards. Each deck can be used as an affirmation oracle as well, and comes with 8 individual instruction guide cards to get you started.
• CLEAR QUARTZ STONE SET •
ITEM 6: QUARTZ COLLECTION...............$7.00
• WHAT: 6 Quartz Points & Crystal Quartz Tumbled Stone Set
• WHO MAKES IT?: Sourced via Eclectic Artisans
• WHERE CAN I GET IT?: Available at the Sabbat Box Store
• WHY WOULD I WANT IT?: Included in the Sabbat Box as an accompaniment to the Seed of Life Crystal Grid, this set of clear quartz crystals can stand in for any myriad of intents and correspondences.
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.

Discover the 2017 Ostara Sabbat Box - Moon Magick 1
• 2017 OSTARA SABBAT BOX • MOON MAGICK • BOX BREAKDOWN •
Hail and Welcome, Sabbat Box Members and Friends!
Ostara is almost upon us, and while some of us this year are facing a winter that doesn’t seem to want to go away (thanks Mr. Groundhog), the colors of spring will soon be upon us, and Ostara is a celebration of the abundance of life and growth throughout nature. The fertility of the earth is celebrated at this time, and we tread our path with the lush greens and colors of blooms cropping up along the way.
Since this stop on the Wheel of the Year is all about fertility and increase, we at Sabbat Box decided to focus this year’s Ostara box on the penultimate example of abundant growth: the Goddess and her connection to the Moon. We have curated a group of items that celebrate the moon and her natural and metaphysical effect on all of us and nature. Whether you are learning about the many various Goddesses and Moon Deities through the the Moon Lore book and parchment, or conducting ritual or meditation enjoying the wafting scents of dedicated incense, we hope that this collection of quality products brings you closer to the divine feminine and the power that the moon holds over our magick.
- 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.
- Do you or someone you know make a product that would appeal to the Pagan community? Are you looking to launch a product or get your product in front of a large audience? If so, lets talk! Sabbat Box is always looking for new vendors and suppliers that create unique items to feature inside an upcoming Sabbat Box. Sabbat Box is a great way for people to find out about you, your product or your company. Whether you are looking to advertise inside the box or wish to feature a product within a box, we would love to hear from you. Register to become a Sabbat Box Supplier/Advertiser today.
• BOX SYNOPSIS •
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:
- Moon Magick
- Clairvoyance
- Banishing
- Moon/Esbat Rituals
- Manifestation
- Psychic Intuition
- Connecting With the Divine Feminine
Traditionally, when it comes to the celebration of Ostara and the spring equinox, we tend to associate this Sabbat with fertility, rebirth, balance, duality growth and renewal. Of which, many pagans tend to either celebrate or work magick to manifest such, during this time of year (while placing emphasis on, and drawing power from the returning sun to do so).
But couldn’t we also look equally to the moon in order to work magick that corresponds to these specific archetypes as well? And wouldn’t incorporating celebrating and honoring the moon and the darker half of the equinox (on top of the returning sun), be a symbolic form of duality in practice? The answer is yes!
When it comes to the moon you can find direct parallels between the Wheel of the Year and the lunar cycle. More specifically, each moon phase could actually be representative of a sabbat in and of its self, simply based on the similar correspondences that they each share. On top of that, most would agree that within the craft, the moon and her phases are considered to be one of the most important and influential celestial bodies that can effect our magick and the energies we attempt to work with and manifest.

BREAKDOWN
The burning of incense, is in essence, a ritual in and of itself. There is almost a primitive feeling that we get when we burn loose incense, the same way our ancestors would. From the moment that we start the process, it is almost as if a direct connection is being made between ourselves, our ancestors and our magickal intent. It is this strong, mystic connection that we as pagans seek out during our rites to help draw power from in order to manifest our intent.
With that said, when it comes to properly burning loose incense, one does need the correct tools necessary to burn them. Since we included a jar of such beautiful loose incense inside the Ostara Sabbat Box, we decided to curate the tools needed in order to properly burn them. Each burner comes with a visual info card with directions on how to properly use and burn loose incense on charcoal. Each set also came with 2 incense charcoal briquettes and a feather to waft the smoke where you would like for it to go.

Along with the candle, we included a simple manifestation candle magick spell on the card provided, to act as a guide that you can use to perform your own spell (throughout a complete lunar cycle).
Each candle is created with premium refined waxes, cotton wicks, and pure essential oils.

Within the actual practice of witchcraft and Paganism there is a deep connection between the moon, the “divine feminine,” and the Goddess herself. In fact, within some traditions, these three aspects may be considered one in the same. Though this may be, the “Moon Goddess” may come in many forms and is known by many names. This gorgeous parchment will help you become more acquainted with some of them, and will also make a beautiful addition to a Book of Shadows.

• SABBAT BOX FEATURED VENDOR - THE SACRED FEMININE •
COMPANY: THE SACRED FEMININE
ABOUT THEM AND WHAT THEY SELL: My name is Montserrat and I was born in Barcelona. I have lived in many places and countries, and now I am in the United States.
I have always been interested in art, and it was after a series of spiritual experiences that I started to paint with oils.
My first paintings were of Cosmic Devas and Angels. Llater on the Divine Feminine was awaken within me, and I began to paint the female manifestation of Divinity. I practice the middle path of the Buddha and I don't associate with any specific religion, having found that all religions hold beautiful teachings. You will probably notice that some of my paintings have a religious air to them, while others are more symbolic.
I also make candles, my themes are spiritual and the candles are designed by me, including the labels, that depict my original oil paintings of fairies, angels, mermaids, goddesses and totem animals.
Most of the candles sold these days are made by people who don't really care about the candles. It is just a job for them. It is easy to see why you should clear a store bought candle before you use it. All my candles are a conscious creation into which only high and inspiring thoughts and intentions are projected. You will feel the difference.
I have an online metaphysical store where you can find my art and handmade candles, as well as many other products that I have fallen in love with, such as all kinds of crystals, altars, spiritual jewelry, pendulums and many other wonderful things.

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.

• 2017 IMBOLC SABBAT BOX • EARTH REAWAKENED • BOX BREAKDOWN •
Hail and Welcome, Sabbat Box Members and Friends!
Imbolc is upon us, and that means that the long darkness of winter will soon be wiped away by the light and green of spring. The earth is about to wake up again to bring new life and new opportunity for growth and increase. Our ancestors saw the lengthening days and knew the divine would once again bless those who made ready for the coming season.
This year’s Sabbat Box for Imbolc is a collection of products with this preparation in mind. One aspect of this preparation in Pagan circles is purification, and we have focused on this aspect to bring members the tools they need to ritually prepare minds and bodies for the coming work of light.
- 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.

• THE WITCHES ALMANAC - SPRING 2017 - 2018 •
ITEM 1: THE WITCHES’ ALMANAC.........$12.95
• WHAT: The Witches’ Almanac, Issue 36 - Spring 2017-2018
• WHO MAKES IT?: The Witches’ Almanac Publishing
• WHERE CAN I GET IT?: Available at The Witches’ Almanac or the Sabbat Box Store
• WHY WOULD I WANT IT?: This handy guide is filled with information and guidance for the entire coming year as well as a permanent reference - perfect for any practitioner’s library.
BREAKDOWN
As you may know, when it comes to working magick and performing rituals and spells, there are many ways one can go about it. Though our methods and the manner in which we approach our spell work can be completely different from one another, some of the most important aspects of spellwork most witches and Pagans will commonly agree on are: practice, timing, and further educating ourselves on the various topics within the craft. With that said, we wanted to include something inside the Imbolc Sabbat Box to help aid you with your magickal practice while working as a guide to assist you throughout the entire new year. Since 1971, The Witches’ Almanac has been providing the Pagan community an invaluable written and pictorial guide on astrology, the occult, folklore, and magick. Inspired by The Old Farmer’s Almanac, it includes information related to the annual moon calendar, weather forecasts, horoscopes, legends, rituals, herbal secrets, mystic incantations, and spells, as well as interviews by Pagans for Pagans.
• PURIFICATION RITUAL BATHS •
ITEM 2: PURIFICATION RITUAL BATHS.........$8.00
• WHAT: Handcrafted Purification Ritual Bath, 4.0 oz
• WHO MAKES IT?: The Sacred Well
• WHERE CAN I GET IT?: Available via The Sacred Well or the Sabbat Box Store
• WHY WOULD I WANT IT?: This intoxicating bath blend is a powerful tool to be used for purification and a great way to prepare for ritual or mediative work.
BREAKDOWN
Staying in line with our general theme of purification and purification magick for the Imbolc Sabbat Box, we decided to include this generous-sized handcrafted herbal purification bath from The Sacred Well. This particular ritual bath conatins a proprietary blend of black Hawaiian volcanic salt, red Hawaiian salt, white sage, rosemary, rue, hyssop, agrimony, and essential oils--all picked specifically for ritual bathing. In many magickal traditions, it is a common practice before working magick to not only purify and cleanse your sacred space, but to also purify and ritually cleanse ourselves as well. The easiest way to do this is to take a ritual bath. It is believed that you should go into any magickal working without any spiritual attachments, and the purpose behind a ritual bath is to rid ourselves of anything that we do not want joining us in our magickal pursuits, including negative thoughts, intentions, or bad energy.
Instructions: Place 1/4 of the purification ritual bath into your tub. If you prefer, you can fill a cotton tea bag with 1/4 of the ritual bath blend to steep in your tub or hang from your shower. You could also steep the contents of the bath in a pot of water and then pour the water over yourself in the shower after the water has cooled. You could use it as a scrub as well. Each pouch contains enough product for four separate baths. Use roughly one ounce (or 1/4 of the bag) per bath.

• WHAT: Handcrafted Purification Beeswax Spell Candle, 4.25-Inch

• WHERE CAN I GET IT?: Available at Lailoken's Awen or the Sabbat Box Store
• WHY WOULD I WANT IT?: This all-natural candle made from beeswax is a ideal tool for purification for ritual, meditation, and spellwork.
BREAKDOWN
It is believed that the idea of “spring cleaning” may stem from the common practices of our ancestors during this time of year. The return of the sun and warming days allowed our ancestors to go outside of the home more. Since they had been stuck inside so long during the winter, it was a common practice to cleanse and purify their dwellings around Imbolc. In honor of this tradition we included a pure white handcrafted beeswax candle from Lailoken’s Awen in the Imbolc Sabbat Box to spiritually purify one’s self or one’s space. Each candle is also ritually anointed and spiritually charged by Lailoken himself for purification magick.
Lailoken's Awen sells handcrafted, natural magical supplies like spell candles, ritual oils and spiritual tools.
Awen is Welsh for inspiration. In the Welsh tradition, Awen is the inspiration of the bards, or, in its personification, Awen is the inspirational muse of creative artists.

Selenite is such a mystifying stone. Just watching the light and sheen reflect on the stone’s sufrace can be entrancing. It is said that selenite is a stone of psychic intuition, mental clarity, spiritual growth, love, and purification.

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.

We hope to continue to serve the Pagan community at large and continue to provide you inspiration to celebrate The Wheel of the Year! Have a happy Imbolc! May your new year be prosperous and full of light!
Blessed Be,

Greetings,
It may be hard to believe, but Sabbat Box is about to celebrate its 2 year anniversary! Since March of 2014, Sabbat Box has been curating special boxes filled with unique magickal supplies in order to help each of our members further discover, connect with, and grow their own form of spiritual practice, while providing tools and inspiration to do such, inside each box that we ship. Since its inception, Sabbat Box has grown into a community of spiritual seekers looking to further enrich their spiritual journey, while bringing magick to the mundane world around them.
We are humbled and honored that you have decided to continue to bring Sabbat Box into your homes, hearts and spiritual practice. It has been an amazing journey that we have traveled, and we continue to look forward to celebrating the Wheel of the Year with you!
Please become acquainted with our new and updated pricing for Sabbat Box memberships below. Each of our active members should have received an email informing them of the price change on 1/24/17. We also will be including an insert with information on it inside the Imbolc Sabbat Box that is shipping 1/25.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at any time and we will be happy to help!
Blessed Be,
Llyfr & Hugh

- The billing intervals for each membership plan is remaining the same.
- Sabbat Box will continue to ship out 8 boxes a year.
- You will continue to receive your boxes 7-10 days before each Sabbat.
- Price changes go into effect starting on our Beltane billing cycle - Feb. 8, 2017
This is the first time we have ever increased our prices since we started Sabbat Box two years ago.
WHY A CHANGE IN PRICE?
RISING SHIPPING COSTS
Since we started Sabbat Box 2 years ago, our overall costs to provide this service to the community has increased by almost 25%. The main contributor being the exponential rise in shipping costs – both a rise in costs of having products shipped here to us from suppliers, and the rise in costs to actually ship your Sabbat Boxes to you.
We strive to continue to make each Sabbat Box better than the last, while also maintaining a standard of quality our members have come to expect.
HOW DOES THIS HELP?
KEEPS SABBAT BOX GOING
This slight change in price will allow us to continue shipping Sabbat Boxes to our members without jeopardizing the quality of the products inside, or the quality of our service. This small increase will also allow us to hire staff, as well as expand and diversify the different boxes, products and services that we wish to offer you.
Since Sabbat Box started in 2015, roughly 2/3 of our original subscribers are still active members.
SABBAT BOX - A YEAR IN REVIEW...

SMALL BUSINESSES SUPPORTED
In 2016 we shipped out 8 Sabbat Boxes to you. You helped to support over 40 small businesses with your Sabbat Box membership this year alone, (that is roughly 5 separate businesses per box). Many of which were Pagan owned and operated. We continue to look forward to supporting both small and Pagan run businesses to curate your boxes.

AVERAGE SAVINGS
Sabbat Box members for 2016 saved on average $19.53 on each box they received, and a total of $156.22 over the year. Another great reason to be a member!
