I\u2019ve been an on and off subscriber of the Witches Moon Box for years now. It\u2019s one of the best subscription boxes I\u2019ve ever tried. I return to it when I feel I can afford it, or when I really just need to treat myself. Recently, I decided to check out the Witches Roots Box (by the Witches Moon), and ordered one of their Past Boxes \u2013 the August 2024 box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Witches Roots <\/h2>\n\n\n

The Witches Roots is a smaller offering than the Witches Moon Box, at a lower price. In the words of the Witches Moon, this Box \u201cprovides the supplies necessary to connect with the energies of Natural Herbal Witchcraft.\u201d It offers a smaller number of items, and \u2013 in my experience anyway \u2013 smaller format artwork. There is one packet of herbs in this box, and of course, focal items would be of a smaller size. I have really enjoyed some of the focal items of the Witches Moon, but happen to love the one that was included in this Witches Roots Box I received. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Witches\u2019 Watcher <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This collection is timely for me. I have to add, the Witches Moon Boxes are often timely for me \u2013 seriously, they often seem to fit precisely what I am experiencing in my life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of the Witches\u2019 Watcher, the Witches Roots says, \u201cThe constant chatter of distractions can wear heavy on a soul, bringing burden and anxiety where love, curiosity, and excitement should prevail. We step away from the constant conflict and journey into nature, where the mystical guides and watchers are always present. We breathe deeply, releasing all that tortures us. We allow time, space, and stillness to enter our bodies. As the nerves begin to relax, we realize that there are innumerable creatures staring at us, viewing us as our most authentic self. It is here, away from the overwhelming stewpot of daily life, that we can finally be present. Where the messages from the otherworld can be heard.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How well does this describe what I have been going through lately! This past summer was overwhelming, but I hung in, and I was doing okay. I began autumn feeling alright, but over the past few weeks developed symptoms I couldn\u2019t ignore. A slew of blood tests and scans seems to point to my Hashimoto\u2019s progressing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This box fits so well with what I am trying to give myself at this point. It is a very sweet collection, and I look forward to implementing everything inside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even the necklace seems timely to me\u2026 I live by the woods \u2013 not too close but close enough \u2013 and have been hearing owls hooting almost nightly. My husband and I have been talking about it, and I have been thinking a lot about owls. They also seem to be showing up for me often, in art, design, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This necklace was a treat (I mean, I really do not mind getting new jewelry!). The owl is crafted from Gypsum Cement, a durable type of plaster. The Witches Roots says, \u201cthe Owl represents wisdom that is passed from the spirit realm to those that are receptive to their guidance.\u201d It also speaks of being open to new truths \u201cvital for your growth.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Book of Shadows Artwork <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There were two pieces of Book of Shadows Artwork: Coltsfoot Herbal Grimoire Artwork, and The Owl Book of Shadows Artwork. Both of these were written and illustrated by A. E. Alden, for the Witches Roots. These pieces offer information, correspondences, and details on magical properties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Mahogany Obsidian Stone is called a \u201cstone of encouragement and togetherness.\u201d It is suggested that the stone be used in creating an environment to \u201creceive messages and guidance from the spirits.\u201d It is a very nice stone, and came in an organza pouch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For ritual, the Witches Roots included a small packet of Coltsfoot Leaf, Guided Magickal Anointing Oil, Dispel Ritual Incense Sticks, and the Hand-rolled \u2018Guide Me\u2019 Mini Beeswax Spell Candle. All of these items are meant to be used in whatever way is comfortable or meaningful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coltsfoot Leaf, used externally only, is said to be useful when feeling lonely, offering a sense of companionship and guidance. It can easily be incorporated into personal ritual or placed into sachets. The oil contains a blend of Vanilla, Lavender, Clove, Tobacco, and the Witches Roots\u2019 \u201cAstral Visions\u201d blend. These oils are contained in a base of sunflower oil. The oil is said to help encourage one to see more possibilities. And Dispel Incense is rather self-explanatory! It is a great incense to use in dispelling negativity in an area. The perfectly sized candle is intended to help one receive direction or insight during meditation or ritual. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Secret Language of Your Soul Oracle Card <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
At the top of the box was a single card from The Secret Language of Your Soul: An Oracle for Mind, Body and Heart<\/em>, by Inna Segal and Jane Marin. I received the card “Relax into the Unknown.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
