Really disappointed and underwhelming. I feel ripped off. Definitely did not get anything close to the same vibe that the pictures and description tell. I received five products and paid about $10 a piece if you do the math, most were actually worth $1/$2 each, I looked them all up. The most expensive thing was the candle and that was actually $10.None of these products are worth that cost. I waited over a month for this dont do the same. This has nothing to do with the size of the products but your QUALITY of subscription box.
Hi Katie!
In an ongoing effort to support sustainability and cut down on waste, we are experimenting with the sizes of the boxes. So, yes, the physical dimensions were smaller. However, the number of items included remained the same. This was a test that may not be continued.
Each item was thoughtfully chosen to represent the energy of the Beltane fire festival. We hope you enjoy your May Box of Shadows!
Way overpriced like outrageously so
$50 box (spoiler alert)
1. Tiny candle
2. Tiny quartz point
3. 1 box Hem incense (fragrance oil)
4. Plastic green man charm
5. Tiny wooden box
You can spend this much money and get Witches Moon with twice the stuff and better quality.
The only positive about this box was that they did a nice letter.
Very dissatisfied. I’ve messaged twice with no response. Few items and of very low quality. The Lapis Lazuli bracelet actually left blue marks on my wrists showing The gemstones we’re not gemstones at all but painted beads. If you’re looking for a satisfying box, this is not the place to go.
Hi Windy! We're sorry to hear that this has been your experience with the Lapis jewelry you received. All of our gemstones are sourced from highly vetted and respected distributors. While it's highly uncommon for us to receive colored/dyed gemstones, we are happy to pass on this feedback to the vendor; along with any photos you may have of the bracelet in question. Since those bracelets are made with natural fibers, the dye is likely coming from the band itself. We have reached out to you directly with more details.
Love it 🔮 I'm a new wiccan and this box is so perfect and magical. Suscribed for three month and re subcribed again for 3 additional month.
We are thrilled to be a part of your practice, Wanda!
Love this box. Just curious on how to use the Ceramic pentacle incense burner though.
Loose incense goes in the grooves of the pentacle. Light it at the edge and watch it follow the path while it burns down. Hope this helps! ✨
when i first subscribed to this box i was getting amazing stuff and was the highlight of the month when it cam in, but as of a few months ago the quality has taken a cliff dive.
Hi Aaron! We are constantly working on ideas to serve our diverse Circle in the best possible way. If there is something specific you'd like to see, please let us know.
Very nice quality products and info.
Thank you for your glowing feedback, Miriam!
I really like the products and the news letter that I received. I upgraded my order for September.
Welcome to the Circle, Jennifer! We are so happy to be a part of your practice.
I love this so much! I was so excited I opened it at work and was not disappointed. I cannot wait for next month’s!
Thank you for welcoming us into your practice, Karissa!
EDIT: I'm much happier with this month's box -- I'm not sure if you actually incorporated any feedback from me or if it's a coincidence, but I appreciate the extra basic information about this month's items, as well as step-by-step instructions. Looking forward to next month's box, and I'd love to chat about upgrading after that!
Thank you!
I chose the "initiate", which is meant for people newer to the scene. I'm really disappointed with my first box, the tarot box. Not only are there very few items, the items sent are underwhelming. I understand I got the smallest box, but there's still price tags on one of the items.
However, my biggest issue is that this box is not beginner friendly. Take, for example, the instructions for tarot. Both pieces of paper (printer paper) state "always begin with intention setting and shielding", but there's absolutely no information on how to do this. It reiterates over and over to never do tarot with a stressed mind or without proper shielding, but it doesn't give any instructions on how to shield or even references on where to find information. It also states at the end to "cleanse your deck before and after", again with no information on how to do that. I'm uncomfortable starting tarot without enough information to do it correctly, and I was hoping the box would provide rudimentary information or directions on where to find appropriate information for my level.
I unfortunately chose a 3-month subscription, but I won't be renewing...
Hi Stephanie! We're sorry you feel overwhelmed by your first box. Our team makes every effort to provide sufficient information regarding the use of the tools we provide. Since we understand how intimidating learning tarot can be, we included an extra standalone Tarot guide -- in addition to our monthly guide. Please understand that it is impossible to cover every base in one standalone box -- as much as we try. Our Initiate subscription is meant to help beginners develop a practice over a 12-month cycle, while also encouraging self-led research. One box is only a snapshot of our wider intention. With that in mind, we hope you will continue your journey with us.
I'm not sure what curation means but this box is possibly the best box I've gotten and I love monthly box clubs. My daughter recommended it a year ago and I wish I'd acted. The quality is top notch, the theme is very well put together. And my daughter still keeps and uses things from hers , a member for a year..so now that I've actually gotten one for myself I know I will be too. Very recommended.
Your words mean the world to us, Kristina, and we are deeply honored to be a part of your family's practice. Blessed Be!
I just received my first box, New Moon. The timing is perfect!! The incense smells amazingly beautiful! I can’t wait to read the book. The talisman, stone, eagle are so relevant. 💚
Thank you for your feedback and kind words. We are so honored to be a part of your practice!
First timer for a mystery box of any kind. This was refreshing and I am prepping for lammas. It come on the new moon which made me happy. Overall really enjoying it and can't wait for my other boxes.
Welcome to the Circle, Kayla!
Good for the price
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, Jordan. Blessed Be!
This box felt super light when receiving it. The lack of contents was underwhelming. Not worth the price. Canceled my subscription and will not subscribe again.
Hi Bradley, thanks for giving us a try, and we hope you find a spiritual subscription that better suits your needs. Blessed Be!
I’ve ever been so disappointed! For $44, (the most expensive “supreme” option), I got:
Bag of tea
A pendulum
Palo santo
2” selenite
And a half-full bottle of a tea flavoring dropper.
Plus a sheet of paper with info on tools, including ones you do not get with the box. They couldn’t even do that right since I got multiple emails making corrections on the insert.
I was missing an item and have not heard back in 3 weeks.
SAVE YOUR MONEY. THIS IS A SCAM. There are less expensive boxes out there that stuff their boxes with better items
I love the new box
We love having you in our Circle, Laura!
Contents of the box no where equal to the amount I spent I would not recommend
Thanks for giving Box of Shadows a try, Jeannie! We hope you find a spiritual subscription that better fits your needs.
No impressed with the box at all. Contents low value and it's same stuff I already have.
Thanks for giving our Circle a try anyway, Jennifer. May you find a spiritual subscription that better fits your practice. Blessed Be!
I never received it and was not refunded my money. Terrible Customer Service! I would have given a 0 rating if I could. I contacted Box of Shadows and they are refusing to refund my money even though I never received the order!
Greetings Mahala! Yes, we have been in contact regarding this situation. According to USPS, the package was delivered as addressed. We have already provided the next steps that can be taken in the meantime. If/when a package is returned to Box of Shadows, our policy is to notify the recipient and attempt to re-ship. Thank you for being a part of Box of Shadows.
This was my first box of shadows and I just can't wait for the next!!
Hi Carrie! Welcome to the Circle & thank you for sharing your experience with us.
TOTALLY DISSAPOINTED! The cost of the products are not worth the price of the box. They look like dollar store products. Nothing special or interesting.
We are very disappointed to hear you feel this way, Magda. Three items in your June box were lovingly handmade by witches who run their own women-led spiritual businesses. If you can, please pass any items you feel are not useful to your practice on to a fellow witch in need.
This is my first Box of Shadows box and I love that it focuses on dream work. The book has been intriguing to read and I can’t wait to use all the other goodies.
Perfect for the beginner!
Hi Christina! We agree, our Initiate offering is created specifically with beginner Seekers in mind.
