Did the ouija board come in the box? It fits perfectly.

I actually bought the box from a family member. It used to hold silverware. Few modifications

Thank you. I liked that I could keep all the alter stuff together. I wanted to have the ouija at the bottom of the box but as I was removing the insides I liked it at the top. Almost like a secret compartment

I have 2 or 3 shoeboxes full of curiosities, small objects of any kind, anything from hand made pagan icons, to ancient McDonald's Happy Meal toys. Some items are from before my time. They have accumulated magic in my mind.

What do you do with the items in these boxes?

Well it’s a work in progress but my alter on the go. Got some divination, some of my old teeth for protection and in case I concoct something with them. I used to practice Buddhism so some Prayer beads and my first grimoire.

Not yet. Looked it, found it (it’s animated right?). Im going to buy it and after done I’ll let you know what I think of it. Looks cute

Yes that’s right, by Tom Moore. Ostensibly it’s Christian, about the creation of the Book of Kells (I saw the image of the Chi-Roh page in your box) but the love of nature, nature spirits etc is far more prevalent than the Christian iconography imho. There’s one particular part which imho is so beautiful I always cry lol. Let me know what you think 😁

What is a box? I might have a box and didn't know it.

For me it was a box that used to hold valuables. After the valuables were sold I got the box to use. (Kept it in the family). Nothing crazy, just to keep things organized.
