Sugar Muses: Deluxe Muse Box Review

Now that the solstice is almost over, I think I'm safe to assume that everyone who got their Sugar Muses subscription box has opened it, so I'm not spoiling the surprise.

I've been wanting to do a subscription box for the longest time, but could never decide which one to get. As a new witch, unsure of what supplies I want or need, I thought this would be a good route to go. I figured a subscription box would give me the opportunity to try some new things, find what I like, and then keep what seems best for my personal practice. So, I read all the reviews for the witchy boxes on CrateJoy and picked one that seemed a good value. I was NOT disappointed in my selection!!

I picked Sugar Muses, and decided to opt for the deluxe box, and I have to say, it was SO worth it!! If you're thinking of getting one and have a little extra to spend, go for the Deluxe!! (I am in no way affiliated with SM; I just want to share a good thing!)

Let's open 'er up and take a look inside!!

Upon opening the box, the first thing was a two-page letter regarding the contents, their properties, and recommendations on performing a solstice ritual with them. Which I promptly set aside so I could enjoy the surprise and discovery of exploring the contents of the box. Next up was this pretty little print representing the solar god for your altar.

Under that layer of black tissue, there was a second card with an opening invocation to start your ritual. Then things got REALLY exciting!!

Look at all that goodness!! And there were layers that kept giving. It was like a birthday present to me!!

Included in this box were:

Art print

Opening invocation card

A Del Sol multi-purpose cleansing spray (large bottle)

Del Sol ritual oil/perfume (small bottle; roll-on)

Del Sol bath salts

Del Sol organic soy candle

Candle snuffer (altar piece)

Dragons blood incense sticks

Copal dusted sage bundle

Calendula blend herbal offering

Chamomile (tea or offering)

A hand-crafted pentacle offering bowl (altar piece)

Green calcite crystal (a large one, too!!)

Pyrite crystal necklace pendant

And there was a little Werther's candy in there as well, so there you go.

All the scented pieces (cleansing spray, perfume, candle, bath salts) were light and refreshing, and we're not overpowering. They were all so lovely!

What more could you want?? Today, as part of my solstice celebration I bathed with the bath salts. I cleansed my sacred space with the cleansing spray and sage, then used the sage to cleanse and concentrate my new altar tools. I lit the candle and incense, and burned the calendula offering. The perfume oil got worked into my new wand I spent the last couple days carving as I consecrated it in the summer sun. I scattered half the chamomile in offering to the setting sun. Now I sit, enjoying my tea and wearing my pendant as the sun sets on my first solstice celebration. Everything was seamless and perfectly became a part of my altar, and I experienced aspects of ritual that I might not otherwise have Incorporated. I feel cleansed and renewed and charged and ready to take on Summer!!

Not to mention, I smell nice, too. 😉

Blessed be.🌻☀️🌓

SugarMuses Deluxe - September 2018

The theme of this box is 'Mabon'. Mabon, the autumn equinox, was just a few days ago on September 22nd and is “a time to prepare for the darker, cooler days”. This box is jammed full of items - I had a difficult time photographing them because my cats were all over me every time the box was opened.

As always we start the box off with a custom art piece, this image is of Persephone (the Greek Goddess of the Harvest).

Our first large item is this beautiful soft leather triple moon journal with unlined cream pages and hand stitching.

The incense blend hit me with a strong, powerful floral punch. It has a little crystal in it and the presentation is lovely. The Yerba Santa faintly reminds me of licorice, and I like their recommendation to use it in a bath to promote beauty.

Next we have a glass candle holder to go with a sweet scented pillar candle (which is a switch-up from the glitter candles I've come to expect). The candle is rolled in dried flowers which while it is beautiful to look at, makes me wonder how well it will burn with the flower bits.

I love this month’s bath salts, it is sweet and citrusy. The description notes orange, calendula flowers, and cinnamon.

Mabon ritual spell scroll and Mabon ritual mist. The ritual mist smells like sweet licorice to me. The description lists witch hazel, cinnamon, and apple.

The Yerba Santa Incense Bundle has a light floral scent and can be used to neutralize negative energies. It is harder than other sage bundles I’ve received, and the dark parts felt sticky. The dried wheat and flower bundle smells nice, and can be used as an offering on your alter (or as decoration). Bottom right we have a Druzy Agate Occos Geode from Brazil which is over 130 million years old; it is said to balance yin and yang energy.

The pendent necklace is beautiful, with a surprising weight to it! Lovely!

Not pictured: Apple Cinnamon Incense Sticks. These are the first incense sticks I wouldn't describe as awful - but they still left me with a headache so I will be giving these away.

I cannot express how much I love these boxes. I did miss the glitter candle from this month’s box, but I love knowing that the box’s contents change; predictability can get boring. Looking forward to October’s box!
