- [Woman] Hello there. My name is Olivia.
I'm the witch of wanderlust here on YouTube
and on Instagram. And today we're doing an unboxing video.
The tea I'm drinking is Pumpkin Chai by David's Tea.
I'll leave a link down below if you're interested.
It's one of my favorites for this time of year.
So grab yourself something to drink, and let's get started.
Okay. This is the October, Witches Box.
Let's just
get right into it.
[Box Opening]
[Tissue Paper Rustling]
Oh, oh, oh, ooh this one's going to be such a fun box,
I can already tell. It is October 2021, the Morrigan box.
Check that out. Ooh, I'm so excited.
You know, I don't work with Deity
and I've said that before,
but the Morrigan is a fascinating deity.
[Paper Rustling]
That's our taro card for this month.
Okay. So,
"Dearest magical souls,"
I'm going to read this one this time.
"October is always a special month for us because
it's the anniversary of the very first Witches Box
that was ever sent out. We're four years old.
Congratulations, Witches Box!
I'll write a bit more about that in the weekly newsletter,
because those letters are specifically about the box
and how October is our favorite month for Witchery.
And the Morrigan, known by many names,
Phantom Queen, Guardian of the Dead, Goddess of the Dead,
to name a few.
The three sisters or aspects she often appears as a Crow,
and as the keeper of fate, and the give of prophecy.
This box is a small doorway into the world of the Morrigan,
which will culminate in our live gathering
at the end of the month, where Morgan Dimeler..."
I think it's Dimeler. Dia- I - I'm really sorry
if I mispronounced that.
"...who wrote the book in the bo-..."
Oh, there's a book in the box!
"...who wrote the book in the box will be joining us
to usher us through the powerful realm of this Celtic deity.
Blessings, Elena."
I'm so excited. Guess we can look at these,
these grimoire pages. We have Morrigan protection salts.
Oh, that's interesting.
"Uses: put a small amount in the bowl or offering plate
on your altar in the room where you were doing your
magical workings up to for a week,
then offer it back to the earth.
Sprinkle around the yard or area, don't dump the salt
in one place at the base of a plant
because it can be detrimental." Okay.
And then Angelica root. I love Angelica root.
So these are the grimoire pages. We can set those aside.
Ha. I'm going to assume this is the Angelica root.
Yes! Ooh, that's a big bag too. Nice.
That's exciting. I need more, actually, so that's helpful.
[Gasps] Oh,
oh my god!
Oh, we got another tar-
I've been getting so many tarot decks this month!
I mean, I'm not mad about it. Oh my gosh.
Holy shit. Okay. Hold on. Let's open.
I'm going to open these and do a little flip through
at the very end. So if you want to stay for that,
please do. Look at this art.
Very inktober vibes art.
Here's that salt. Protection salt.
[Plastic Rustling]
Oh, no.
Well.
[Giggles]
Okay. Well I guess that's just going to happen. That's okay.
Ooh!
Ooh. It smells like, it smells like magic.
It smells like Sage. There's a lot of Sage in there.
Matches my nails too. Well, my nail.
[Packing Paper Rustling]
Oh, it's a Crow feather, I'm assuming.
I'm assuming that's a Crow feather.
And the book. Ooh.
What an awesome box. Oh my God.
I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything.
Okay, cool.
Let's clean up here.
The author will apparently be at a monthly meeting
that they have for these boxes.
If you don't know about the Witches Box,
I've mentioned it before,
but they do monthly meetings after
everybody receives the box. So at the very end of the month,
they do zoom meetings and you can talk about the box or like
talk about different things that you've gotten in it,
or how you used the box and kind of the theme.
And it's really, really fun to like chat with everybody.
And then sometimes if they have books or with the Book Box,
because they have book boxes every month as well,
they usually try to get the author so that you can ask them
questions or talk to them. So that's super cool.
And it, it looks like a pretty light read.
I mean, look, it seems like a pretty light read.
I haven't read it, but I would assume that this is like,
kind of like a crash course in this. That's so cool. Okay.
Let me make sure we have the tarot deck,
the book,
a real Crow feather - legally collected it says,
a crow skull charm.
I think I must've missed that.
[Packing Paper Rustling]
Oh, there it is.
See, this is why I read it.
Gorgeous.
Crow skull charm,
Witches Box, apothecary bag of Angelica root, salt blend,
two books of shadows, and the tarot card,
and this.
Ooh. Okay.
So that's really exciting.
I adore this box and I think
I also just really love tarot cards, but,
and Angelica root love it.
And crows are definitely a local -
Oh, I mean, they're kind of everywhere,
but some of the birds that I definitely chat with
and work with pretty often. Well I don't even
work with them. I just, I just like them.
I like hanging out with them. Let's do a flip through,
I'm going to set this up though, so that it's aesthetic
and pretty to look at. So give me a second.
I am just stoked.
Oh.
[Cards Rustling]
Alright. So we're going to do a flip through,
and I'm going to put the mic down here so that you can have
some tarot card ASMR. How's that sound? Cool.
