Hail and Welcome, Sabbat Box Members and Friends!
The great turn of The Wheel brings us back again to spring, the season when new life and new possibilities are in full flourish. Cold long nights and short days give way to the first warm days when fertile ground emerges new life. Many animals prepare to welcome their offspring, and the first buds of flowers break through, and with them an early hope of abundance and a healthy harvest that’s to come in the months ahead.

• 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:
- Prosperity Magick
- Fertility Magick
- Money Magick
- Manifestation Work
- Drawing Abundance
- Working With Earth/Spring Energies
If we look upon this symbolic time of balance with a sympathetic magick perspective, this time frame that leads to the growth of light during fertility season can easily parallel the concept of fruitfulness and prosperity, making this a perfect time to curate a box themed around prosperity magick. With nature reemerging and waking up, and the life bearing sun blessing us with warmer days, It is this specific concept that we drew from this year that inspired the theme behind the 2019 Ostara Sabbat Box, and also helped to inspire us to curate the items featured inside this "Blooming Prosperity" themed Sabbat Box. With a focus on that anticipation of success and abundance, we collected a group of items that will help look forward to your own fruitful prosperity and abundance, as well as tools and practices that will help assist in drawing prosperous results to your own magickal endeavors.
• SPRING GODDESS STATUE •
ITEM 1: SPRING GODDESS STATUARY.................$19.99
• WHAT: Spring Goddess Statuary with gold satin bag
• WHO MAKES IT?: Sourced via Eclectic Artisans
• WHERE CAN I GET IT?: Available at The Sabbat Box Store
• WHY WOULD I WANT IT?: A representation of the divine feminine, perfect for any altar.
BREAKDOWN
Gods and Goddesses have long played an extremely important role within our religions and spiritual practices, even going all the way back to our earliest of roots, history shows us that our pagan ancestors would venerate and honor various archetypal deities. More specifically, during spring and the start of planting season, it was the mother-like fertility goddesses and divine feminine archetypal figures that would receive an abundance of attention, as they were viewed as the quintessence of our existence — the givers of life, the bearers of breath and birth. Offerings, rituals, prayers, petitions, and sacrifices would be made to these divine mothers in order to ensure a successful and abundant outcome with one’s endeavors. Keeping this in mind, we wa- nted to include an archetypal goddess figure inside each box as a way for you to tap into and connect with the old ways of our ancestors. Representing the embodiment of a flourishing spring (with her spiral belly and creeping vines growing upon her), use your Spring Goddess statuary as a symbol of birth, growth, and prosperity -or- lend her the name of the divine being you work with and allow her to represent that figure on your altar when engaging in your spiritual practices..

• 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.

• 2018 OSTARA SABBAT BOX • ELEMENTAL MAGICK • BOX BREAKDOWN •
Hail and Welcome, Sabbat Box Members and Friends!
Before you know it, the snow and ice and cold will once again give way to the green warmth of spring. The wheel of the year turns as always, the light beginning to lengthen our days since the solstice, and thoughts of new life and new growth abound. We lift our eyes to the reawakening of the sun Lord and give reverence to our moon Lady.
This year at Sabbat Box we have curated a collection of items that will hopefully enhance the advent of spring and prepare ourselves and our circles for the growth and increase that is to come. We purify our intention, solidify our will, and protect our newly-cleared space to do the work that the power of life and light can help manifest.
- 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.

• 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:
- Elemental Magick
- Spiritual Charging
- Drawing forth the elements
- Connecting with the elements individually and as a whole
- Working with and learning about “elementals"
During the early dawn of spring, it becomes more and more apparent that the days are growing longer. This point in the year starts to bring warmer temperatures, new flowers, and for some the last melting of this past winter’s snow. Our ancestors understood the significance of this time as an indicator for how the rest of the year would pan out--through the summer and into the fall. A successful crop planting during this window of time in the Wheel of the Year meant the difference between a bounty and a struggle. The basic building blocks of life (and survival) within nature were re-emerging and it was up to them to recognize those elements and use them to reach their goals.
For this year’s Ostara Sabbat Box, we have curated a box that brings together this important time in the life cycle of our environment and the basic elements that even our earliest ancestors recognized were important for survival. Earth for planting, water for irrigation, air for pollination, and fire (the sun) for growth and increase. When we have a more complex understanding of what constitutes scientific elements, these basic four cardinal elements are also part of the foundation behind our magick and our magickal pursuits. It is with the elements that we connect with and correspond to in order to draw up our power to manifest a specific outcome. Just like the nature of spring, the elements combine together to bring about life, and in magick, the elements combine together to bring about change and power.

Use the code above at Alaska Laser Maid and receive 15% OFF your next purchase!
BREAKDOWN
One of the items that we just knew that needed to be included within this special box of elemental magick was a charging plate. For many of those who practice the craft, it is common for people to spiritually or ritually “charge” spell supplies, ritual tools, or magickal components prior to incorporating these items into our practices. In a nutshell, it is believed that when we “charge” an item, we are giving it purpose--essentially “breathing life” into the item. A charging plate in and of itself acts a s afocal point where you are able to direct your intent and energy into the item(s) you wish to charge.
Each charging plate included in the box contains each of the four main alchelmical symbols that represent Earth, Air, Fire, and Water, along with a circle and intersecting lines and center point to represent the fifth element of spirit of “aether”. The circle and its points also represent the fluid connections between the elements as well. Each charging plate is custom made from red cedarwood specially for Sabbat Box by Alaska Laser Maid.
ABOUT THE VENDOR:
Located in Thorne Bay, Alaska on Prince of Wales Island, Alaska Laser Maid is a one woman shop specializing in laser cutting and engraving boxes, creating custom esoteric and divination tools (runes and things), using locally harvested, locally milled red and yellow cedar.

Ostara 2018 Sabbat Box Theme Release • Elemental Magick 0
• OSTARA SABBAT BOX - ELEMENTAL MAGICK •
Are you ready for spring? ~ Boxes are scheduled to ship March 9
This point in the year starts to bring warmer temperatures, new flowers, and--for some--the last melting of this past winter’s snow. During this time, some of us think about planting a vegetable garden or trying some new landscaping, which can not only make our homes more beautiful, but give us a great excuse to get out of the house we were trapped in all winter and enjoy the warm air and sunshine.
Our ancestors, however, had a more practical reason to start working as the days started to lengthen: they understood the significance of this time as an indicator for how the rest of the year would go through the summer and into the fall. A successful crop planting during this window of time in the Wheel of the Year meant the difference between a bounty and a struggle. The basic building blocks of life (and survival) were re-emerging and it was up to them to recognize those elements and use them to reach their goals.
Ostara, which is all about growth, fertility, and increase, is a celebration of this time of life and its gifts. When we consider our own goals in life as the year goes on, we too must recognize this window of time as an opportunity to take the steps toward a year of increase and abundance.
For this year’s Ostara Sabbat Box, we are curating a box that brings together this important time in the life cycle of our environment and the basic elements that even our earliest ancestors recognized were important for survival. Earth for planting, water for irrigation, air for pollination, and fire (the sun) for growth and increase...while we have a more complex understanding of what constitutes scientific elements, these basic four cardinal elements are also part of the foundation behind our magick and our magickal pursuits. It is with the elements that we connect with and correspond to in order to draw up our power to manifest a specific outcome. Just like the nature of spring, the elements combine together to bring about life, and in magick, the elements combine together to bring about change and power.
We are very much looking forward to sharing with you this special box of elemental magick for Ostara, with hopes of you finding a deeper connection to the elements themselves, while further connecting with each of their specific properties on both a magickal and mundane level.

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. 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.
• MOON LORE BOOK •
ITEM 1: MOON LORE BOOK.........$7.95
• WHAT: Moon Lore - Lunar Themes of Wisdom and Magick
• WHO WROTE IT?: By Elizabeth Pepper
• WHERE CAN I GET IT?: Available at The Witches’ Almanac or the Sabbat Box Store
• WHY WOULD I WANT IT?: This short but packed guide is filled with all things moon related and a great way to familiarize yourself with the some of the lunar lore that has been around in some cases for thousands of years.
BREAKDOWN
Whatever you may consider yourself--a witch, a wiccan, a pagan, a mystic, or just a spiritual person interested in the occult--when it comes to the practice of the craft and the occult arts, it is important to continue to expand our minds in order for us to help further expand our spiritual practice. 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..
• LOOSE RITUAL INCENSE •
ITEM 2: LOOSE INCENSE.........$15.00
• WHAT: Witch Moon Hand-Blended Loose Incense
• WHO MAKES IT?: Rosarium Blends
• WHERE CAN I GET IT?: Available via Rosarium Blends or the Sabbat Box Store
• WHY WOULD I WANT IT?: This loose incense focuses on corresponding to lunar energy. It is a powerful ritual blend, made of quality ingredients to celebrate the moon and the divine feminine.
BREAKDOWN
Witch Moon incense by Rosarium Blends, is a high quality handcrafted ritual incense made to help bring about the energies we seek when working with the moon. Rosarium Blends makes their own ritual incense blends, essential oil blends, and natural perfumes using the finest herbs, woods, resins, and essential oils. All formulations are original recipes and the result of extensive historical research, practical experimentation, and magical study. Each product made is blended and ritually charged during specific lunar phases, astrological transits, and with ritual correspondences in mind. The products from Rosarium Blends are also formulated with specific intent in order to enhance one’s magickal potency, enliven the senses, and increase the heightened awareness they are designed to awaken.

• WHERE CAN I GET IT?: Available at Eclectic Artisans or the Sabbat Box Store
• 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.

• WHAT: Double Hand-Poured Moon Ritual Votive Spell Candle
• WHO MAKES IT?: The Sacred Feminine - Candles by Montserrat
• WHERE CAN I GET IT?: Available at The Sacred Feminine and the Sabbat Box Store
• 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.
- WHITE: Consists of rosemary and frankincense
- BLACK: Consists of basil and patchouli

• WHO MAKES IT?: Azure Green
• WHERE CAN I GET IT?: Available at Azure Green or Sabbat Box
• WHY WOULD I WANT IT?: An informative page addition to your Book of Shadows or hang it up near an altar as an honorarium to the divine feminine.
BREAKDOWN
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.
• MOON RITUAL ANOINTING OIL •
ITEM 6: ANOINTING OIL...............$12.95
• WHAT: Moon Ritual Anointing Oil By Lailoken's Awen
• WHO MAKES IT?: Lailoken's Awen
• WHERE CAN I GET IT?: Available at Lailoken's Awen or at the Sabbat Box Store
• WHY WOULD I WANT IT?: A beautiful blend of essential oils focusing on the moon and her mysteries, this is a great addition to any ritual or spell.
BREAKDOWN
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.

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.

• OSTARA-RITUALS, RECIPES & LORE FOR THE SPRING EQUINOX •
• ITEM 1: OSTARA BOOK.........$11.99
• WHAT: Ostara-Rituals, Recipes and Lore for the Spring Equinox (part of Llewellyn's Sabbat Essentials series)
• WHO MAKES IT?: Llewellyn Worldwide & Authored By Kerri Connor.
• WHERE CAN I GET IT?: Via the Sabbat Box Store or via Llewellyn.
• WHY WOULD I WANT IT?: Llewellyn has been a trusted source for books on Paganism, Magick and New Age topics since 1901. This particular book features spells, recipes, lore, invocations, correspondences, crafts and rituals that will help to inspire you to celebrate Ostara in your own unique way.
BREAKDOWN:
Part of what we wish to do here at Sabbat Box is to provide further resources for our members pertaining to paganism, witchcraft and the Sabbats. The Sabbat Essentials series are wonderful resource books and will truly help you find inspiration on how to celebrate the Sabbat in your own special way. Some may say that these books are geared more towards those new to the craft, but you would be surprised to read how much information is packed within these books, which is helpful for both seasoned practitioners as well as a novice! We decided to feature Llewellyn's Sabbat Essentials books when we started Sabbat Box, as this line of books is brand new to Llewellyn, (making most of them first edition prints) and they correlate perfectly with what Sabbat Box is all about. In fact, these first edition printings come out only a few weeks before we ship each Sabbat Box, which makes our members some of the first people to actually own and read them.

• NATURE GODDESS STATUARY & CANDLE HOLDER •
• ITEM 2: STATUARY.......$24.95
• WHAT: Earth Deity Goddess Statue with Tealight Candle Holder — 7 1/4” tall
• WHO MAKES IT?: Via Eclectic Artisans
• WHERE CAN I GET IT?: The Sabbat Box Store or Eclectic Artisans.
• WHY WOULD I WANT IT?: Imagery and symbolism plays an important role in most spiritual practice; this is especially true within Wicca, as well as both modern and ancient Paganism. One of the most notable and revered symbols adopted from our Pagan ancestors is the image of the divine feminine—also known as “The Goddess”—representing the very essence of life, wisdom, fertility, femininity, womanhood, mystery and love.
BREAKDOWN
This particular nature Goddess statuary both embodies those fertile feminine characteristics but also portrays the archetypal references to the spring season. She is covered with flowers, leaves, and greenery, as well as spring animals. Her hands hold a vessel-shaped “cauldron” fit for a tea light candle—representative of the coming light of the sun, which in balance with nature brings forth life. This statue can sit on an altar to honor the divine feminine and draw in the energies of abundance, fertility, renewal, prosperity, nature, and divinity. There is representation of both the feminine and masculine included as well. The tea light may act as the sun and the statuary is the Goddess, and together life emerges and manifests.
• HAND POURED PURE BEESWAX EGG SPELL CANDLES •
• ITEM 3: EGG CANDLE.........$4.95
• WHAT: Hand Poured 10 Hour Beeswax Egg Candle
• WHO MAKES IT?: Sunbeam Candles
• WHERE CAN I GET IT?: From Sunbeam Candles or via the Sabbat Box Store.
• WHY WOULD I WANT IT?: When working magick, performing ritual or just simply decorating an altar, many Pagans will utilize symbols as well as various types of imagery to represent or convey a special meaning or purpose. Take the egg, for example: it contains various correspondences and can be used to symbolize renewal, growth, emergence, fertility, life, and femininity as well as a connection to the very energies of spring itself.
BREAKDOWN
• LAVENDER AND WHITE SAGE SMUDGE STICK •
• ITEM 4: SPRING SMUDGE STICK.........$3.95
• WHAT: Lavender and White Sage Sacred Smudge Stick, 4 inch
• WHO MAKES IT?: Mother Nature
• WHERE CAN I GET IT?: Most metaphysical shops, or the Sabbat Box Store.
• WHY WOULD I WANT IT? Within each Sabbat Box we do our best to include an entire spectrum of different items that will enhance spiritual practice. One of our members’ favorite items are the various ritual and spell supplies we include, like sage. We think this lavender and white sage, hand bound together, fits perfectly with the height of spring. Lavender has many correspondences and representations, including healing, love, happiness and purification. Burned in combination with that universal herb of cleansing and purification, this will add another level of energy to all your practices and rites.
BREAKDOWN
This white sage and lavender smudge stick is the perfect way to clear and cleanse sacred space or infuse the air with a fragrant, floral scent. Coupling lavender flowers--corresponding with love, happiness, and new growth--with the traditional cleansing energy of white sage creates a life-affirming atmosphere for your altar and magickal practice. White sage and lavender smudge sticks are also great for those who are looking for something a little different than just sage by itself.
How to burn a smudge stick:
• Fetch a small fireproof bowl, cauldron or incense vessel.
• Place your smudge stick next to a burning flame (a lighter or candle will do).
• Allow the smudge stick to catch fire and burn at the end for a few seconds.
• Once the wood has caught fire and is starting to emit smoke, extinguish the fire.
• After extinguished, you will want to keep the smudge stick atop a bowl or ash catcher to catch the smoldered embers and to prevent fire. Use the emitting smoke to smudge your space.
• PROSPERITY RITUAL POWEDERS •
• ITEM 5: RITUAL POWDER.........$3.95
• WHAT IS IT: The Sacred Well Prosperity Ritual Powders.
• WHO MAKES IT?: The Sacred Well, via Devera Gifts
• WHERE CAN I GET IT?: The Sabbat Box Store.
• WHY WOULD I WANT IT?: Ritual powders are quite versatile and have many uses. Each vial is handy to have in a pinch, and perfect for any witch.
BREAKDOWN:
Since Ostara marks a time of rebirth, renewal, emergence, balance, and—most importantly—growth, we decided to include a vial of Prosperity Ritual Powders by The Sacred Well within the Ostara Sabbat Box. Prosperity ritual powders will surely help one to harness the energies of the Sabbat to help one manifest prosperity. Each vial contains a handcrafted blend of potent proprietary herbs and essential oils that will help you release your magickal intent. Ritual powders are an extremely versatile magickal tool and can be used in many different ways. The Sacred Well has been serving the Pagan community since 2007 and offers an array of unique magical supplies.
DIFFERENT WAYS TO USE PROSPERITY POWDERS:
• Dress spell candles with powders
• Burn powders on a charcoal disk as incense
• Add to a mojo bag or gris gris bag
• Use as a house sprinkle
• Place within an offering bowl
• Use as an offering to the divine
• Place within a poppet
• HEM PRECIOUS PATCHOULI CONE INCENSE •
• ITEM 6: INCENSE.........$2.00
• WHAT IS IT?: Precious Patchouli Cone Incense—10 pack
• WHO MAKES IT?: HEM
• WHERE CAN I GET IT?: You can purchase at the Sabbat Box Store.
• WHY WOULD I WANT IT?: Patchouli is a highly sought after plant for its corresponding properties of prosperity, love, money, luck and sexuality.
BREAKDOWN:
High quality incense is something every witch or magickal practitioner should keep on hand at all times. That includes an array of various incense with different aromas and magickal intent. Patchouli corresponds well with the spring equinox and the energies of Ostara; it is said to correspond to prosperity, money, fertility, success, and lust. That, along with its rich earthy scent, make these cones the perfect incense to burning while working prosperity magick or spellwork pertaining to love, abundance, fertility, and friendship.
• PACKING & SHIPPING •
PACKING & SHIPPING: Part of the costs of your box include the box and the packing material itself. The items listed below account for a good portion of the overall costs for the Ostara Sabbat Box. Each Ostara Sabbat Box is lined with paper padding and wrapping to add to the surprise of what we’ve curated for you. Shipping is also included in the total price. The average cost to ship Sabbat Boxes has gone up the past few months due to the postal services price increase. The cost to ship boxes is roughly $8.65. With that being said, we here at Sabbat Box wish to be as environmentally friendly that we can be and do our best to source packing supplies and material from companies that have the same beliefs we do, in that we want to make as little of an impact as possible on the environment.
BOXES: Your boxes where made from high quality corrugated paper and are 100% recyclable. Try to find another use for your box. They are 9x9x3 on the inside. You could decorate your box to hold some magical supplies or use it again to ship something to someone or save it for another time when you may need it. If you dispose of it, please try to recycle it.
BROCHURE: Your brochures are printed on 100% recyclable 16pt paper, which is sourced from sustainable forests.
TISSUE PAPER & FILLING: The light blue tissue paper is made from 100% recycled paper and is recyclable. The green colored filler inside each box is made from scraps of recycled colored crinkle paper and is biodegradable.
STICKERS: The stickers found within your boxes where printed on vinyl with a gloss laminate.
• SABBAT BOX SAVINGS & COUPONS •
SAVINGS & COUPONS:
Part of our goal is to provide a number of items to our members at a value far above what individuals can purchase on their own. When you add up all of the items inside your Ostara Sabbat Box, as well as costs for shipping and packaging, you are saving over $19.00. We believe this to be another good reason to be a member. Also, each box we create helps to support Pagan run businesses and their employees. Sabbat Box looks forward to continuing to stay within our mission to work with other Pagan businesses to supply products for each box.
Coupons are another great feature you will find within Sabbat Boxes. Coupons just add to the overall value of your box and are not included in the "total savings" specified on your information sheet/brochure, but definitely add further value as well as further exclusivity to being a member. Be sure to visit our product suppliers websites and stores to help continue to support their businesses and missions as well.
OSTARA BOX PRICE BREAKDOWN
• Total MSRP of items inside: $51.34
• Total Savings on this box: $11.39
• Total Shipping Savings: $8.60
• Grand Total In Savings: $19.99
~Our members helped to support 5 Pagan run businesses with their Sabbat Box membership! Unlike some subscription boxes (that only use their own products inside each of their boxes), we work with other Pagans and Pagan owned businesses within the community to purchase and supply the items featured within our boxes. In the end, we want to help the community grow and share our business with companies that share our same values and standards.
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 candle within a bag, individually assembling the boxes, individually packing the tissue paper within each box by hand, 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.
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.
