• 2018 MABON SABBAT BOX • MOON MAGICK • BOX BREAKDOWN •
Hail and Welcome, Sabbat Box Members and Friends!
Summer is moving on, and cooler air will soon invite us outside. Autumn is the time the earth brings for shorter days and longer nights, its balance culminating on the equinox--which many Pagans and witches refer to as Mabon. Around this time the harvest moon can be seen, the last of the fruits of the earth are to be gathered and the time of thanksgiving for all the bounty gathered and stored. This year’s Mabon Sabbat Box celebrates the moon and her magickal and mundane influence on our lives.

• 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
- Candle Magick
- Intention Setting
- Working with the moon phases
- Working with and connecting with the divine feminine
- Using moon spells to help bring forth changes you seek
In addition to thanksgiving and harvest, the autumn exquinox is a time of balance. The word equinox itself comes from the Latin word aequinoctium - aequus meaning equal and nox meaning night. During both the spring and fall equinox, day and night are nearly equal. Enforcing the equilibrium is the fact that the sun enters Libra, a sign of balanced scales, on the morning of the autumn equinox. Celebrating balance means appreciating the light and dark within your life. What does the light bring you? Think of the sun, the day, the progress you make during that timeframe and what you draw to you. And what does the dark do for you? Think of letting go, of cleansing, of the night, and, especially, of the moon. After all, we’re entering her jurisdiction as we travel to the darker half of the year!

• 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.

Mabon 2018 Sabbat Box Theme Release • Moon Magick II 1
• 2018 MABON - FALL EQUINOX SABBAT BOX THEME • MOON MAGICK •
The weather cools, a chill settling in the air. The leaves begin to turn to fiery colors: Yellow. Red. Orange. The spectrum creates a rainbow over the landscape as they fall to the ground, filling the air with an earthy scent. The autumn equinox is near.
The equinox itself is a scientifically observable event when the tilt of the earth is so that the sun passes over the earth’s equator. Because of this, the sun rises exactly east and sets exactly west rather than at a slight tilt towards the poles and we experience a near-equal day and night. This event occurs twice a year: Once at spring and once in the fall. In 2018, the Autumn Equinox will take place on September 22nd at 4:02 PM EDT.
For pagans and witches, the fall equinox is also known as Mabon, one of three harvest festivals on the Wheel of the Year. We owe the name "Mabon" itself to Aidan Kelly in the 1970s, a reference to characters, or perhaps gods, from Welsh lore. That being said, though the name is relatively new, the concept of a celebration occurring around the fall equinox is not. Oschophoria was a festival in ancient Greece that honored the grape harvest and wine. Eighteenth century Bavarians celebrated Oktoberfest in the last week of September, a festival that continues today. Even the US holiday Thanksgiving originally occurred on October 3rd, just a week and a half after the equinox. It wasn’t until 1863 that it was moved to November and 1941 before it settled on the date it is today. As such, the modern Autumn Equinox as a pagan festival is one of thanksgiving and gratitude.
Much of this thanksgiving tradition with Mabon is owed to its timing around the fall harvest. Customs of the holiday include this, creating themes of completion and goal achievement. This is a great time to reflect upon the past to see if you have reaped what you’ve sown from seeds planted in the spring. What goals did you want to achieve at the beginning of the year? Have they come to fruition? What do you need to do to find completion? This might even mean cutting your losses to move forward, much as a farmer might do with a dud crop.
Mabon altar for a Fall Equinox ritual
In addition to thanksgiving and harvest, the autumn equinox is a time of balance. The word equinox itself comes from the Latin word aequinoctium- aequus meaning equal and nox, of course, meaning night. During both the spring and fall equinox, day and night are nearly-equal. Enforcing this equilibrium is the fact that the sun enters Libra, a sign of balanced scales, on the morning of the autumn equinox. Celebrating balance means appreciating the light and dark within your life. What does the light bring you? Think of the sun, the day, the progress you make during that timeframe and what you draw to you. And what does the dark do for you? Think of letting go, of cleansing, of the night and, especially, of the moon. After all, we’re entering her jurisdiction as we travel to the darker half of the year.
Mabon has always had a close association with the moon. The full moon near the fall equinox, the Harvest Moon, is probably the most well-known. This particular full moon derives its name from the farmers working late into the night, the crops illuminated by its brilliant light. The Harvest Moon is sometimes called the Wine Moon as well because it rises in a beautiful orange-red splendor, akin to the fiery colors of the autumn leaves below. Moreover, for those that believe in the goddess, Mabon is when she officially enters her “waning” phase – another emphasis on the connection of this equinox with the moon.
But this isn’t all. As stated earlier, the equinox isn’t exactly a perfect balance of night and day – it is only nearly equal. That perfect equality, called equilux rather than equinox, occurs a few days before the actual equinox itself. We owe this offset on the day the sun passes over the equator’s plane to atmospheric diffusion and, of course, our beloved moon. Earth’s satellite causes the planet’s orbit to vary from a perfect ellipse. It’s also why we have the tilt, and thus the equinoxes, in the first place. Thus the moon has a profound effect on this sabbat in particular!
Because of the fall equinox’s especially close connection to the moon, Sabbat Box would like to announce its Mabon box theme: Moon Magick II. Our first Moon Magick themed Sabbat Box was presented on Ostara of last year. It seems only appropriate to present the second of this theme on the mirror holiday to the first. Moon Magick deals with the darkness and the ways we attempt to illuminate it, much like a candle in the night. It is spiritual, cleansing, divinatory and divine. It’s also natural, emphasizing harvested herbs akin to the harvest of the fall.
This box will assist subscribers on working with not just the Harvest Moon in its full status but every phase during this time – and throughout the year! The items you’ll discover will be educational, interactive and fully integrated with the moon herself, and will include more exclusive items just for our members. We can’t wait for our subscribers to open up this magickal box and begin harnessing the full power of the many phases of the moon this equinox!

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!

• 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. This makes working with the moon an integral part of the craft, regardless of the sabbat. The items featured inside this box were curated to help assist with opening up, channeling and working with the lunar energies this sabbat, and all throughout the year.

Staying in line with our theme surrounding moon magick, we wanted to include something in this Sabbat Box that could help expand your mind while channeling the aspects of the moon, hence the inclusion of this book, “Moon Lore” by Elizabeth Pepper. Moon Lore may be tiny, but it is filled with useful information pertaining to the moon that you can include into your own personal practices such as: sacred moon rituals, prayers, charms, moon spells, and lunar incantations. The book also includes a plethora of information pertaining to various myths and legends surrounding the moon, which helps us to further connect with the roots of our practice and why we do what we do..

• WHY WOULD I WANT IT?: This incense burner is a compact and convenient way to burn your favorite loose incense in an attractive design.
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.

• WHY WOULD I WANT IT?: This unique votive candle has a black and white motif, highlighting the dual aspect of the moon of light and dark, as well as the duality of the divine, making it a useful ritual and spell component..
BREAKDOWN
Though it is made to be used specifically in combination with the moon and its phases, this double hand-poured spell candle captures the duality aspect of the equinox and the likeness of the different moon phases. 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.

When it comes to us working magick, it is important that we do our best to correspond to and channel the energies of which we are attempting to work with. This hand-blended ritual anointing oil by Lailoken’s Awen was created specifically for working with the energies of the moon, as well as working with the divine feminine. Each moon anointing oil is crafted during specific astrological timing corresponding to the moon and is ritually charged.
This oil is made with an organic essential oil blend of:
- Jasmine
- Sandalwood
- Ylang Ylang
- Fractionated coconut oil
The gentle, subtle, feminine aroma that is emitted from this ritual oil will surely help to get you in the mindset of connecting with the divine feminine. Use Moon ritual anointing oil to anoint candles, charms, talismans, ritual tools, and your body during any working to draw in lunar influences, or for spells involving feminine forces, cycles, generation, intuition, fertility and during psychic work. You can also use moon ritual anointing oil in combination with rituals involving the home, or when working with lunar gods, angelic beings, intelligences, and other lunar entities. Made on the day and in the hour of the Moon.
"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.

• 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 •
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.

Ostara 2017 Sabbat Box Theme Release • Moon Magick 0
• MOON MAGICK •
The next sabbat in the Wheel of the Year that we will reach in the Northern Hemisphere is Ostara, the celebration of spring and the vernal equinox--that point where the light and the dark of the day is equal. During the sabbat of Ostara, it is common to work magick corresponding to balance and duality, (due to the actual representation of both light and dark being displayed within nature around this time of year), but instead of taking the typical route with this year's Ostara Box, we decided to connect with the energies and celestial wisdom of the moon, which also encompasses the duality of both light and dark, in her own unique way. An important part of following a magickal path is learning to incorporate new and unique approaches to your spiritual practice and breaking away from the standard cookie-cutter mold of modern Paganism from time to time. For this Ostara’s Sabbat Box: the Goddess, represented by the Moon, and her magick will be the main focus and where we have drawn our inspiration from for this theme.
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. This makes working with the moon an integral part of the craft, regardless of the sabbat. The items featured inside this box were curated to help assist with opening up, channeling and working with the lunar energies this sabbat, and all throughout the year.
We hope the 2017 Ostara Sabbat Box and the surprises it holds inside will add a unique addition to your next ritual, meditation, or magickal working, and that you are able to connect with the guiding light of the moon to bring forth and manifest your desires for the coming spring.
