From Candles to Cups: My Journey as an Herbalist

Hi, I'm Crystal – the maker behind Ignis Moon.

You may know me for my cozy, nature-inspired candles with hidden crystals, but there’s another part of me that’s just as passionate: herbalism. And I’m so excited to finally share this part of my world with you.

A Lifelong Love for Herbs

My journey with herbs started long before I ever called myself an herbalist.

As a child, I was drawn to nature — collecting leaves, flowers, and little “potions” made from what I’d find outside. I was lucky to grow up in a home where natural remedies and garden-grown herbs were just part of life. That early exposure rooted something deep in me.

Over time, what began as curiosity turned into a calling. I started studying herbalism more seriously — reading, researching, and taking courses to deepen my understanding of how herbs support our bodies, minds, and spirits. Now, blending herbs feels as natural to me as breathing.

Blending with Intention — Always

Just like I approach my candle-making with intention—layering scents that evoke specific moods, memories, and energies—I do the same with my tea blends.

When I create a candle, I think about the feeling I want it to bring, the story that i want it to tell: Is it grounding? Uplifting? Nostalgic? That same energy carries into my tea. Every blend is designed to support the same kind of cozy ritual as lighting one of my candles. Some even complement each other directly, so you can sip and scent in harmony.

Imagine sipping an herbal tea with notes of lavender, rose, and oatstraw while a matching candle fills your space with a soft floral and warm vanilla scent — a full sensory experience that helps you feel calm, comforted, and connected.

Why Now?

It felt like the right time to bring this part of my life into Ignis Moon. My goal has always been to create products that offer more than just scent – I want to bring comfort, ritual, and grounded moments into your day.

Just like lighting a candle can shift the mood of your space, sipping tea can shift the energy within you.

What You Can Expect

Starting this summer, I’ll be offering a collection of small-batch herbal tea blends that are:

• Made with certified organic herbs from trusted sources

• Inspired by the seasons, nature, and your well-being

• Handcrafted by me with love and care

  
  
  
  

There will be teas for cozy nights, stress relief, daily support, and even a few playful blends for your inner cottage witch 🌙✨
