Witchbox

What's in the box: A monthly themed box of roughly 8 to 11 witchcraft or crystal items with a guide explaining each item and how to use it.

Witchbox is a small, privately run UK company with two monthly subscriptions: a themed Witchcraft box and a Crystalbox. An in-house team curates the Witchcraft boxes, and an English witch sets the theme. Each month has a named theme, such as "The Veil Between Worlds" for October. The site says boxes hold between 8 and 11 items, though elsewhere it says 8 to 10. Each box also comes with a detailed guide that explains the contents and adds hints and tips. That guide helps beginners, and the company says its boxes suit newcomers as well as more experienced practitioners. Beyond subscriptions there is a broad shop. It sells single purchase boxes, a Sabbats set of eight festival boxes shipped together, and mystery surprise boxes made from past box items. It also offers an advent calendar, figurines, Wiccan items and digital downloads. Subscribers can join a members only community group, and active Witchcraft subscribers are entered into a free monthly prize draw. Each box has its own payment cut off date, so check those if you want a particular theme. The site shows several currencies and has a section for EU customers, but it does not state shipping terms up front. The site itself is a little rough, with typos and inconsistent item counts. Still, the range is wide and the themes are specific. Compare plans before you commit.
