The Auray Story
It starts with Emily, our founder
I'm Emily, a candle maker and musician nestled in the serene landscapes of the Scottish countryside. Here, the beauty of nature influences every product I craft.
The Auray journey began with my academic pursuit of music, exploring its profound effects on the mind. This appreciation of music as a form of therapy, combined with my love for aromatherapy, led to the creation of Auray Candles.
Here at my studio in Winchburgh, Scotland, every candle is lovingly handcrafted, infused with my passion, and a sprinkle of whimsy.
Our Mission
Auray Candles is a heartfelt endeavour to offer an accessible home spa experience. A holistic sanctuary for your body and mind.
It’s not just about candles; it's about harnessing the rich tapestry of Norse mythology and the benefits of natural essential oils to bring moments of balance, self-love and vitality into everyday life.
Moments
A Moment is a vessel of self care. A unique essential oil blend and story, creating a distinct connection with you and your closest Norse god, whenever you need them.
You aren’t bound to one Moment. It evolves with where you are physically and mentally on your journey.
With Auray, there is a Moment for every step in your journey. Take our intuition quiz to discover what your spirit is calling for.
Lost Traditions
Throughout history, the holistic benefits of natural elements have been revered and cherished across many cultures. Yet, the art of healing with raw botanicals has often been forgotten, lost, or even vilified.
In the 16th and 17th centuries, women who crafted herbal medicines and tinctures for their communities were unjustly labeled as witches and met tragic fates. Their healing knowledge was often buried with them. We aspire to resurrect these long-forgotten traditions through ancient stories.
Natural Ingredients
Our candles are crafted with love and intention, using soy wax and natural essential oils, making them vegan and cruelty-free. Only positive energy here!
Past, Present and Future
Adorned with a bespoke wax rune stone, your candle reads fortune into your future. You can enhance the holistic experience by listening to our carefully curated playlists, centered around the sentiment of each moment.
