The June BOS Review

So what about that haul?

Finally the "Box of Shadows" post, Circle cats! (.... I know right?)

I received my June, BOS (gulp) a few weeks ago! Perhaps my kitty was the most exxcited - he still goes right for that box! (I love this furball!)

The facts: $40 per month, renews automatically, communication via email. Simple. Consistent. Perhaps this should be called "Box of Awesomeness" instead! 

What's the haul this month?

This month I received a black and a white votive candle with a tip sheet (very timely protection candles), a sage smudge bundle, a box of incense, a polished tiger eye stone, a pack of lavender buds, a portion of 'lovers tea', a container of "Fire" bath salt, a goddess pendent on a cord, a beautiful pentagram altar box, and a lovely tiger eye bracelet with a sun celestial charm! 

I noticed there are no chime candles this time. 

I love getting this each month! Everything in the box is nice again. My two favorite things in this shipment are the alter box with a carved pentagram and the celestial tiger eye bracelet! Both are really beautiful. I often carry tiger iron in my pocket. I am just drawn to that stone I guess. 

This summer, I have been thinking about my phrase "Crunchy Little Boat" and as such, I got the idea that we should actually make a couple of boats to sail in the park. So, the empty box has been reused in an art project by my nature-sprites. Two boats with a chopstick each for a mast and (previously loved) scrap fabric collected for the sails. They colored them too. I love the eco friendly packaging, which literally really floats my kids crunchy little boats! 

I will get to the July BOS post pretty soon - I know I am so late on this one... eeeh! Need to get a cuppa coffee just now lol. C'mon, You know you wish we could sit here with me and have a nice cuppa together! Who knows what energy we'd get cooking! X)

Catching up....

OH circle peeps! You may have noticed that I have not been posting for a few weeks. Eeeeh sorry. Fact is I have been working a great deal, and well, it is summer - like easy, breezy, sun soaking! 

Meanwhile back in the Circle...

Litha, aka: summer solstice. Shouldn't there be a Litha post? Yes, but it was rather subdued. I began writing it a while ago and just lost oooomph. That is saying something for me. I will finish and post it soon. Really. 

I have ogled the full moon for the last few days. Just amazing energy. I charged my stones too. 

Also I have been star gazing - I feel like I could just get lost in the nights radiance!

Awesomely, I have gotten another Box of Shadows. I know, I know... Where is the post about the last box I promised y'all? Well, as I sit here I can assure you (C'mon smile) that I will post about both boxes soon! (Yes, I did take a few pics as I opened the packages - See I was thinking of yall!)

I have been lighting my peace candles on Wednesdays too! Have you chosen to burn for peace too?

I have been watching the unfolding social and political happenings in our land as well. The tragedies of late are just that - tragic. I haven't had the words at all... and frankly all I can handle is to light a candle dedicated to peace everytime I hear about these sad events. 

Beyond that I have decided that after this election cycle I will support the Green Party. I really find Jill Stein resonates with me. I want to see what Bernie will do at the DNC - but frankly I don't trust the party at all after the shenanigans with the state conventions and voter suppression reports! So I invite you to check out Jill and the Greens. I would love to know your thoughts!

May the Goddess richly bless your life and may you be deeply and lovingly connected to Earth.
