laurelthegreenwitch: I live in an apartment complex above a popular business, so I don’t reall

laurelthegreenwitch:

I live in an apartment complex above a popular business, so I don’t really have a safe space to bury spells or other magical items. So I designed and created an ‘Earth Box’ to bury things.

A lot went into this, and if you recreate your own box based on this, feel free to modify the work as you wish. 

The Box:

• The box is a cardboard box I covered with green paper as a base.
• The bottom of the box has a sigil I created (sacred soil for cast magick).
• The base of the box has “sacrum terrae” (sacred earth) and some succulent stickers I had. Before I added the soil, I added a good layer of rocks (like you would if you were planting a house plant).
• The rope accent on the sides was made by tying rope while reciting the witch’s ladder rhyme
• The symbol on the upper flap of the box is a combination of a pentacle and earth symbol.

The Lid:

• The base of the design is preserved sheet moss
  
• The fencing is wooded dowels stacked just higher than the moss
• The sigil is made from stones and the same rope as the witch’s ladder (I am connected to the earth). This sigil is not my design.

The Soil:

• I boiled basil (prosperity and protection), calendula (prosperity), parsley (prosperity and purification), rosemary (protection), and sage (purification and protection) in a tea cup. I saved the tea for other work, and used the tea remains to begin a compost pile.
  
• I mixed this small compost pile, some coffee, some eggshells, and some potting soil. I filed the box with enough dirt to bury the small spell jars I use. The remaining soil is in a bucket for composting. Spring will be here soon enough!
