In March 2022, subscribers encountered the Moths. The Moths Box was then reissued as a limited edition offering in July 2024.
Purchase the Limited-Edition Moths Box to receive a special reissue bonus: the Flower-Seeking Moth, a detailed enamel brooch adorned with yellow flowers. You'll receive this extra treasure with your Moths Box.
Birdmoss is home to hundreds of varieties of Moths. They are mostly quiet and mostly unseen, venturing forth under cover of night. Sometimes an observer catches sight of a Moth, only to lose sight of it. The Moth is here; and then not. Moths weave through the Veil. They bring back murmured messages from ancestors. They alight on the pillows of sleepers, whispering words from the other side.
The Moths Box includes an abundance of beautiful objects; a note regarding the life cycle of the Moths; a token that hints at the next box; plus a mysterious document and a lore card.
Some items are available for individual purchase.
- Mysterious Document
- An instructional document is augmented with marginalia which will help you interpret clues. It is available only in the Moths Box.
- Lore Card
- The Moths are introduced in a full-color collectible 4x6 inch lore card.
- Incense Cones
- A faint sweet smoke casts a haze inside the apothecary shop. Magnolia-scented incense cones evoke: hot, humid nights; the sound of crickets; bayous; saltwater; and candlelight. In Birdmoss, offerings from magnolia trees are used to dispel obsessions and harmful habits. Use this incense to clear away any unwanted thoughts which may be circling you. Quicken protective amulets in its vapors. (Always use a fireproof dish and never leave burning incense unattended.)
- Black Sand
- This jar holds a portion of sparkling black sand. It was quickened in the light of the new moon to support introspection and planning. Use it as a base in your incense burner. Or, pour it out to encircle ritual elements during your work.
- Chime Candle
- The apothecary is illuminated in amber light from rustic candles. They are hand-poured from the purest beeswax. One is for you. The Moon's phases demarcate the lives of the Moths. Use your candle to bookmark the start and end of a meditation or small project. It is perfectly sized to be burned in a single session.
- Oil for Safe Passage
- In the back of the shop, stations are arranged for compounding ingredients, extracting tinctures, and steeping tisanes. This vial contains a combination of sweet almond oil and basil essential oil. It has a slight grassy, leathery scent. A small amount is sufficient to anoint your pulse points, your third eye, or a protective object. This combination is appropriate for both literal and figurative journeys: a trip, an intellectual undertaking, or a decision-making process.
- Captured Moth
- You discover a specimen jar containing a beautiful Moth. You feel compelled to open her container. After she is freed, her gratitude keeps her by your side. If it feels right to do so, you can pass her through smoke, include her in a candle-timed ceremony, or dab her with oil to fortify her powers.
- Jasmine Flowers
- In Birdmoss, jasmine is associated with the midnight Moon. Young Moth caterpillars eat jasmine flowers to grow in wisdom. Add your portion of flowers to your own apothecary. Or, brew a tisane with one teaspoon of the flowers to eight ounces of water.
I absolutely love this box and I have to say my favorite out of the whole box is the incense cones!! They smell heavenly!!
I bought this as a gift for my sister and, as I knew she would, she loved it! Everything was so thoughtfully chosen and packaged and of great quality, and the experience of unboxing was as much of a treat as the contents!
I bought some gifts through the store and ordered the moth box at the same time. It is lovely. The small box was packed with little goodnesses. I love the scent of the incense. I’m trying to find a way to turn the enamel brooch into a pendant because it’s so very pretty. The oil for safe passage has a relaxing scent. I really enjoyed the chance to order this before it sold out (also my daughter has already stolen the wooden moth pendant and the apothecary jar it came in. This is the struggle with two daughters who love my subscription boxes too. I always have to share).
Amazing. Shannon still surprises me every month with such perfect beauties. I missed the Moths first time around and got one when she made a few to spare. The necklace is gorgeous and the magnolia incense takes me to the outside world. Can’t wait for the next box.
When I received the Moth box, I lit a candle, turned on my fairy lights and opened a window to let in the cool night air. As I slowly unpacked the carefully curated box, my heart surged every time my fingers found a treasure within! A glass vial of glittering ebony sand, aromatic creamy ivory jasmine flowers, a sweet moth necklace in muted jewel tones.. the tiny adorable beeswax chime taper, the lore card, pretty enough to put in a little gilt frame… the story letter that gave me the warm fuzzy vibes… the luxe and mysterious magnolia incense cones! Oh and the herbaceous dreamy protection oil~ everything utterly enchanted me. And the last item I discovered was the enamel moth pin, the gorgeous color of sulfurous lamplight. I’m entranced, enthralled and hypnotized by the story, the treasures and the box itself with the mystical poem printed inside the cover. Thank you for creating a magical night for me. This is my second box, the first being the Cicada box which drew me into this amazing portal of storytelling & lore. I will return to this magical realm for more Birdmoss adventure!
Love all my boxes. There is a tiny bit of magical charm to each one. Love the extra poems emails too. There is magic in the world for those of us that choose to see it. Thank you
I Love The Moth Box, I opened it and the scent that came out was Heavenly! The necklace & brooch are perfect, I love the milk bottle, the scented cones make my house smell so good, the sand and salt are great for wonderful projects, I always love the letter and lore card, that come with each subscription box, the sweet little bee, is precious, Thank You, Blessings Always 🐦❤️🙏🙂
I really enjoyed The Moth box! The black sand is stunning to look at, as are the jasmine flowers. I haven't tried the incense or the oil yet, but they smell wonderful. The chime candle is perfectly sized for a 15 - 25 minute meditation or intention. The moth pendant is beautiful - since my neck is really sensitive to literally any weight on it, I turned the pendant into a keychain and now I can't help but smile every time I see it guarding my keys! (The chain won't go to waste either, I'll use it to make a necklace for my friend.) I was very happy Shannon decided to revive this box!
The Moths - One-Time Box Purchase
Simply beautiful dreaming and fulfilling birdmoss moth enchantment. The Sweet smell of magnolia and honey with fragrant anointment oil have delighted me in all the ways each monthly box always does. Thank you so much for the beautiful dream! The moths fly amongst the fragrant night. I hope to never wake up - 😌
I'm so happy with the Birdmoss box. It has been a magical delight. Looking forward to my next box.
This Birdmoss Box was the best by far I have received! It *smelled so good* from the moment I opened it… before I even broke the seal. Searching through the packaging for the treasures within was fun; and I was not disappointed.
The Moon illuminates your path of glittering, white stones. Flitting, silvery scales bounce and dance in the darkness, before you... beckoning you. The sweet fragrance of melting beeswax, gently moored in ebony grains... the heady breath of magnolias and hints of jasmine, sweetly whisper, "follow us..." Intrigued, yet ever mindful - you pull a protective vial of oil from your pocket, and anoint yourself to assure safe passage. And then, you follow the moths...
Another chapter in the Land of Birdmoss awaits you... these are only the tools to set you on your path.
Utterly magical.
