New Sabbat Box Member Portal With New Features 0
• NEW SABBAT BOX PORTAL AND FEATURES •
We want to let everyone know that we upgraded our subscription software and member portal over the July 4th holiday weekend. If you are a member of Sabbat Box, your Sabbat Box subscription account has been automatically migrated to our new system, but we need you to do one quick thing...update your password (see instructions below).
The new Sabbat Box member portal makes it even easier for you to manage your Sabbat Box subscription and it has some really handy new tools for you as well!
We thought we’d take a moment to highlight the sections of the new interface and highlight some of the important features and changes with our newly updated portal.
• YOU MUST RESET YOUR PASSWORD TO LOGIN TO THE NEW SYSTEM •
ALL MEMBERS MUST RESET THEIR PASSWORD ON THEIR ACCOUNT BEFORE LOGGING INTO THE NEW SYSTEM!
1. How to reset your password. As a security feature for the system upgrade, all members are required to reset their password when logging in for the first time on the new portal.
Visit: http://sabbat-box.paywhirl.com/login, or go to the top menu bar above and click on “Manage My Sabbat Box” on the Sabbat Box top main menu.
Your login e-mail is the same email address you already use to manage your subscription account.
2. Reset the password. After clicking the above link, you will see a login screen like the screenshot below. After entering your email address, click on the “Forget your password?” link at the bottom and you will be able to reset your password from there:
• NEW FEATURE - MEMBER DASHBOARD •
NEW FEATURE: Member Dashboard. You will notice upon logging into the new portal things have completely changed. We have implemented a new member dashboard and payment calendar, which is the main screen you will see after logging in to the new portal. The new dashboard displays an easy-to-see calendar allowing you to easily see when your Sabbat Box membership is set to renew again and when the next payment date will be. You can click the date you are scheduled to be re-billed and view all of the details pertaining to your box.
From here you also be able to access the main menu as well. Here’s a screenshot of the new member dashboard that shows what it looks like once you log in to the new portal:
• NEW FEATURE - SUBSCRIPTIONS SECTION •
NEW FEATURE: Subscription Details. This screen will allow you to see your current subscription, and info including when you were last billed and when your next billing is coming up. You can manage/change your plan by clicking on “Edit” or cancel your plan by clicking “Cancel”.
SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS CONT'D: If you click “Edit”, it will take you to the screen in the image below, which will allow you to change plans if you would like. Please note: you will be rebilled IMMEDIATELY upon choosing a new plan. You will also receive the remaining boxes owed to you for the previous subscribed plan you were on unless you contact us to let us know you would like to completely switch your plan, not just add an additional plan.
• NEW FEATURE - PAYMENT METHODS SECTION •
NEW FEATURE: Payment Methods. This menu item allows you to see your current card(s) on file, set one to default, or add (or delete) a card:
• NEW FEATURE - MY ADDRESSES SECTION •
NEW FEATURE: My Addresses. This screen will allow you to update your address. Please note that your current address (listed as “Account Address”) should be the billing address for the payment method you’ve added, so there will be no issues when you are rebilled. If you would like to add a secondary address for shipping, you can do that separately. You can also contact us at any time to update your shipping address as well.
• NEW FEATURE - BILLING HISTORY •
6. Billing History. This screen will allow you to see when past payments occurred, as well as when new payments will be attempted.
Clicking on “View” for each transaction will display the invoice for that payment, which includes status, costs, and other details:
NEW FEATURE: Cart and Browse. The last two items on the portal’s main menu will allow you to add a new plan to your account if you would like. Just follow the steps and you will receive a confirmation email about your new plan. Again, please note: you will be rebilled immediately when you add a new plan.
This is a very brief introduction into our new upgraded subscription system. While this certainly will not answer all questions, we hope that our members have an easier time in navigating and seeing all of the pertinent information necessary to maintain their subscriptions. As always, if you have further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us or submit a support ticket via the "?" symbol on the bottom of each page.
We hope you enjoy the new updated portal.
Thank you so much for your membership, and we hope you continue to enjoy what Sabbat Box has to offer.
Blessed Be,
The Sabbat Box Team

BREAKDOWN
A dreamcatcher, to some, is considered to be a powerful protection talisman, especially while one is sleeping. Dreamcatchers were originally created and used by Native Americans (specifically the Ojibwe or Chippewa tribe). There are many variations to the designs of dreamcatchers, as well as the lore that surrounds them.
DREAMCATCHER LORE
It is said that the air of the night is filled with both positive and negative energies and dreams. It is believed that if a dreamcatcher is hung above someone sleeping, the negative dreams will get caught up within the web of the dreamcatcher, while the positive dreams slip through the center and fall down the hanging feathers and they will then glide down to the person beneath. In the morning, the light of the sun is said to banish the negative dreams from the web. The quartz crystals within the center of the webbing help to further neutralize negative energies, providing further protection to your sleep talisman.
We included a dreamcatcher for you to hang in your home to help keep you protected when meditating, astral projecting, shamanic journeying, as well as sleeping and performing dreamwork.
Hoop Size: 4.0" x 4.0"
Total Length: Roughly 4.0" x 8.0"
Hoop Colors: Black, brown, dark blue, gray, orange, purple, red, tan and white.
Note: These dreamcatchers are not a Native American made product.

• WHAT IS IT?: Moonstone Tumbled Stone with Organza Bag and Information Card

• WHERE CAN I GET IT?: Exclusively at the Sabbat Box Store.
• WHY WOULD I WANT IT?: Moonstone is a great stone that corresponds to dreamwork and nighttime workings, and is said to further help the enhancement of psychic abilities as well as intuition.
BREAKDOWN:
Another favorite amongst our subscribers here at Sabbat Box are tumbled crystals and gemstones. Tumbled stones serve various purposes within modern New Age spirituality as well as Wicca. Many believe different stones harness or release specific energy or vibrations, which commonly stems from lore. We wanted to include a stone within this box that corresponded with dreamwork and sleep and came up with Moonstone. Moonstone is said to increase psychic ability, heighten intuition, and provide protection while sleeping.
Moonstone is a type of feldspar that is found in Asia and South America. Known as "the psychic's gemstone." moonstone is said to be one of the strongest stones to help bring out psychic abilities, as well as heighten intuition and protect against negative energies when sleeping. Moonstone is a feminine stone that corresponds to the element of water, the brow chakra and is ruled by the moon.

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.

Litha/Midsummer Sabbat Box Theme Release • A Magical Midsummer's Night Dream 1
The twenty-first day of June will see the longest day of the year here in the Northern Hemisphere, and the celebration of this time of fire and light will soon be upon us. Bonfires, feasts, and outdoor activities are the order of the day…a day that honors the sun reaching its apex, the God as solar deity in his full regalia, shining His life-giving force on plant and animal alike. Handfastings, along with “jumping the besom”—Pagan wedding ceremonies—are common, as the fiery celebration of life naturally leads to the celebration of joining two lives together.
As the solstice sun sets, the night brings bonfires—called “setting the watch” by ancient European Pagans to spurn evil spirits away—as a means to extend the longest day even further to signify its importance in the dance between light and dark. And while the astronomical significance of this day centers on light and sunshine, Pagans and witches also turn their focus to the night on this bright day and its magickal significance. Our theme for this year’s Litha Sabbat Box is dedicated to the spell craft practiced after that longest day of the year comes to an end: A Magical Midsummer’s Night Dream.
We are curating a special box focused on this shortest night and its sacred significance, which will contain a collection of items that will enhance your practice at this once-a-year time and focus on our nightly path. We hope that you can benefit from this collection of items that will be featured within the Litha Sabbat Box, as our goal is to connect to the protection and insight that Midsummer’s Night can bring, as well as use the opportunity to celebrate the sun while honoring the darkness.
When the longest day commences, we hope you celebrate the light and life that it
brings, but we also encourage you to turn your attention to the power of magickal workings after the sun goes down. Workings and “mischief” glide as freely as fairy-wings in this shortest of nights, and it is our time to work our Ways and tread the briefly-darkened path until we sleep…and dream. The fairy Puck in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer’s Night Dream, states it thus:
“Now it is the time of night
That the graves all gaping wide,
Every one lets forth his sprite,
In the church-way paths to glide:
And we fairies, that do run
By the triple Hecate's team,
From the presence of the sun,
Following darkness like a dream,
Now are frolic: not a mouse
Shall disturb this hallow'd house:
I am sent with broom before,
To sweep the dust behind the door.”
— Puck, A Midsummer’s Night Dream, Act V, Scene I.

Regardless of which specific pantheon of Pagan practice or belief you may follow, a common core of all ritual and magickal work consists of creating sacred space.

Some people prefer loose incense because it gives them the control over the potency of the aroma and the length of burn time. People also prefer loose incense simply for the fact that loose herbs offer a cleaner more pure method of extracting the corresponding vibration of a specific herb or herbal blend, giving the practitioner a direct connection with such energies. Also, using incense in this manner is a form of connecting with our ancestors in the past, of whom would have used and burned incense in such a way.
If you are not partial to burning loose incense, you could...
1.) Use the herbs found within to dress a spell candle to manifest and bring forth the corresponding energies of the herbs into your spell.
2.) Use the herbs as casting herbs. Some pagans may cast herbs into a bon fire as an offering to the divine, others may use herbs to cast around their home (i.e. under your door mat, outside your home's perimeter, within your car, on your window sills etc.) Regardless of where the herbs are located, their corresponding energies are dispersed wherever the herbs are.
3.) Grind the herbs down to a fine powder and create your own cone incense.
4.) Use the herbs to make a mojo/gris gris bag or sachet. Within each box is a small mesh organza bag. You may wish to place some herbs within the organza bag and place a charm upon it or your intent within it as a way to manifest your will.

~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.

Beltane Sabbat Box Theme Release • Earth's Instinct 0
Though we live in the Northern Hemisphere and have started to celebrate the return of the sun since Imbolc, our Earth as a whole -- between the Northern and Southern hemispheres, lives in perpetual duality. What that means is, when looking at the Wheel of the Year, one is able to see that Beltane and Samhain occur at the half-way points, as we travel through the Wheel of the Year. With that being said, some believe that similarly with Samhain, "the veil," (the veil between the our world and the afterlife) is equally as thin on Beltane as it is on Samhain, making this is great time to include some ancestral workings or magick into your Beltane celebrations as well. Make an offering for your ancestors, family members that have passed or those who came before you. Though it may saddening, part of Earth's and nature's instinct is to bring about new life, and with that same natural force of life, comes death. Both serve a purpose to our existence and both are relative to the celebration of Beltane. • DISCOVER THE BELTANE SABBAT BOX FOR 2016 •

With Ostara on the horizon, we start to celebrate the season of returning light and emerging life. Nature has awaken in the Northern Hemisphere and is ready to burst forth into the magick of Spring. Ostara, which is also known as the Spring Equinox is a Sabbat in which marks a time to work magick pertaining to fertility, growth, balance, rebirth, renewal and love. The items featured within this most recent Sabbat Box will surely allow one to connect with Ostara and manifest renewal and growth into their lives.

• 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.
Maiden Goddess, soon to be Mother, known by many names,
—Pg.145, Ostara: Rituals, Recipes and Lore for The Spring Equinox
Other great books by Kerri Connor:
• The Pocket Spell Creator: Magickal References at Your Fingertips,
• The Pocket Guide to Rituals: Magickal References at Your Fingertips
• Crafting Hope When Faced With Life’s Thorniest Challenges.
• The Pocket Idiot’s Guide to Potions,
• Goodbye Grandmother
• Spells for Tough Times
• 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.

• SABBAT BOX SAVINGS & COUPONS •
SAVINGS & COUPONS:

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.

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.
