Welcome fellow fright-loving folx!

I’m Megan, the founder and creator of The Gothic Cottage. My candle company is founded on the belief that we should all have delicious, clean-burning candles of luxury that aren’t harmful to our health, wrapped in a hauntingly beautiful aesthetic we can enjoy every day of the year.

My love for candles goes way back in life. They have always been a calming, hug-filled thing to me because of my mom. She’s loved and burned candles my entire life, particularly spicy cinnamon candles, and she’s where I get my love for them. Candles have been gifts given and received between my mom and I for my entire adult life. The first candle I ever made was actually for her and I’m so thankful to her for instilling this love for the comforting aroma of a cozy candle in me — and it’s what led to this journey!

It’s this love for candles that I’ve carried with me in life that inspired the creation of The Gothic Cottage. I believe one of my biggest purposes in life is to bring joy to those around me through things I create and I genuinely appreciate the opportunity to be able to craft something from my heart and give it to the world through The Gothic Cottage.

So, that’s the story of how this all began (so far!). I hope you enjoy my lovingly crafted, chilling candles and that they bring joy to your heart and warmth to your life.
