Candles adorned with delicate botanicals from the garden, note cards with secret messages and fortunes, oracle decks illuminated with sweet watercolor illustrations… simple objects and gifts to make the everyday more magical.

My studio is in the heart of the midwestern United States. Here, every Moth & Candle taper is dipped, the designs are imagined and drawn, the books written, and the magic planted.

About the Artist

Hi, I’m Laura Pensar, an artist and writer based in Kansas City. I have a professional background in Tarot, printmaking, candle-dipping, and passing notes. For Moth & Candle, I make hand-dipped and adorned beeswax ritual candles, illustrated fortune cards and art, oracle decks, and guide books.

I create the materials and guides that I wish had been available when I began my divination practice over 30 years ago.
