Spitewick isn’t just a candle company—it’s a rebellion wrapped in wax.

Born from burnout, black eyeliner, and the burning need for self-expression, Spitewick was founded by a queer, chronically ill creative who needed a lifeline during one of the hardest seasons of her life. What started as a cathartic craft in a garage became a full-blown spellwork of scent, sarcasm, and storytelling.

We specialize in hand-poured soy wax candles that draw inspiration from the macabre, the magical, and the marginalized. Think: the cold breath of Skyrim’s frostbitten peaks, the flickering glamour of the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, or the velvet hush of a haunted library. Our collections—like Sepulcher (for goths and dark academia lovers), IYKYK (for queer joy and visibility), and Fire & Frost (for fantasy gamers and cozy nerds)—are designed not just to scent your space, but to summon a mood.

Each candle is crafted in small batches using clean-burning soy wax, phthalate-free fragrances, and a touch of theatrical flair. We include thoughtful extras in every order—like cheeky thank-you notes, and packaging that feels more like unwrapping a secret than opening a box.

Our most popular candle? That would be Dawnstar, part of our Fire & Frost line. It’s a chill, herbal blend of eucalyptus and lavender inspired by the wind-blasted coast of a certain beloved fantasy game. Fans say it smells like the moment just before a dragon lands.

Why do we do this? Because scent is memory. It’s armor. It’s identity. At Spitewick, we believe that fragrance can be a form of self-care, self-affirmation, or even silent protest. We’re here for the weirdos, the witches, the wounded, and the wonderfully dramatic. The ones who need candles that say “I see you” without ever saying a word.

So whether you’re lighting a candle to set the vibe, start a ritual, or just spite your landlord with something that actually smells good—we’ve got your wick.
