• our name

    bruja (BREW-ha) means witch in spanish. witch trials were an excuse to persecute women who were intelligent, independent, or outspoken. la bruja identifies with these women.

  • why beeswax?

    due to its high melting point, beeswax holds its form well. you'll notice that a majority of our candles without containers are crafted from beeswax.

  • enviro friendly

    we are committed to being an environmentally friendly business. our packaging includes NO plastic and all our containers can be reused, even for food!

  • why soy wax?

    100% biodegradable, non-toxic, and generally hypoallergenic.

    soy wax also has a long burn time and burns evenly due to its low melting temperature.

meet la bruja!


i am an independent, outspoken woman who openly practices ceremonial magic. i named this business in homage to my puerto rican heritage, and after all the brave women whose lives were cut short due to witch trials, and who stood for all we stand for.

est. march '22

i started candle-making as a way to de-stress from my 9-5 job as a middle school science teacher. immediately, i was hooked - it synthesized not only my love of art and science, but also my spiritual practices.

i enjoy creating unique designs by varying the color, container, and scent of my candles, and i'm particularly inspired by themes of nature and the human form, as seen through the images I paint on candles and the shapes i mold with wax. I cleanse my space before each candle pour, and infuse positive intentions into each candle.

each purchase you make helps support my dream life. thank you!

bring warmth into your space today.
