Whether you are a herbalist or private practitioner of herbal lore... or if your just the kind of person who goes nuts over having lots of little nooks and crannies to hide things in, these herbal storage boxes are just the thing for you! Standing 8 1/2" tall at the peak, and only 4 1/4" deep, these herbal storage boxes have a small cupboard, drawer, and lifting top lid built in! Inscribed with hand-carved triple moon designs on the top, front, and sides, these wooden herbal storage boxes leave nothing to be desired.

It is important to keep your magical tools in good condition. Boxes offer physical protection from damage, and keep your items clean. By respecting your magical items you will have greater affinty with them, and their powers will be more in harmony with your own. On a metaphysical level, boxes prevent negative energies from affecting your tools.

Boxes can also be used as an integral part of any magical working. In general, a spell box is filled with power items necessary to achieve a goal, although you should follow directions given for specific spells. It may be a cumulative spell done in increments: items are gathered one by one and added to enhance the power of the box. Sometimes a special box lends itself to a magical or spiritual goal. The box itself can become an intrinsic part of the spell. Some ideas for use include: Attach and incorporate the power items to the box itself, such as charms, beads, shells and feathers; Paint images on the outside or inside of the box to correspond with the spells goals; Embellish with sigils or other symbols using magic ink, henna or other natural dyes.
