The February 2021 Box

The Feb box honoured the moon and was all about clearing and protection

With DIY moon water, a ritual bath, a clearing & protection room spray DIY (as part of the spell) and a pretty moon necklace. I went a bit overboard on these boxes if I’m honest lol. The Magick boxes included an altar cloth/wall hanging of the moon, a new moon ritual candle and even a mini besom.

I’m planning on doing up some more Spell Boxes of these and should have them on the website late next month if my move goes smoothly. Did I mention I’m moving house? Woohoo, it’s much safer for my daughter and I’ll have more room to do the boxes

Here’s an excerpt from the little scroll in the boxes:

Moon water! Such a simple yet amazing tool, referred to by some as ‘drawing down the moon’; making moon water dates back to at least the ancient Greeks and is found in many cultures around the world. Included in your February box is a little bottle for you to make your own moon water in, complete with a triple moon charm.

This month’s spell is a DIY project, making your own room clearing and protection spray in a ritual! Known to some as a smudging spray, I prefer to call it ‘clearing’ as I find this term more appropriate for us in New Zealand. However, I’ve included a blank label for you to name your spray whatever you feel called to. To create your clearing spray you charge it with your intent in a small ritual and utilise your moon water for added potency.

Cleansing and protection is something we should all do regularly (I personally don’t think I do enough of it lol) so I felt it was fitting to utilise the moon’s power to clear away unwanted energies and provide energetic protection.  

As always I’ve tried to design everything with lots of room to make it your own! The full moon is usually thought of as the most potent time for magick however the dark moon is  associated with cutting ties and letting go, as is the waning moon. So if you feel called to make your moon water for your spray in a different moon phase, please do so! Also the DIY ritual spray includes essential oils associated with the moon and polysorbolate 80 (an emulsifier to mix the oils and water) but if you don’t want to use the oil mix, you can definitely make your own! Witch hazel also helps essential oil and water mix. Please just be mindful that lemongrass and eucalyptus (pets) are NOT safe around pets or very young kids so please don’t use your clearing spray when they’re in the room & wait a few minutes at least for it to dissipate.

And thank you everyone for your lovely messages <3 I’m hoping to make a little (anonymous) post on here of your lovely messages, they really brighten my day and when it all gets a bit too much (especially juggling a 14 month old on my knee trying to work lol) I sometimes re-read them and it gives me the motivation to keep going.
