About

My name is Brooke and I’m the owner of Black Moon Botanica, a magical new shop in the historic heart of Edinburgh’s old town, in Scotland.

I’ve been making candles since I was a teenager, with a lifelong interest in natural magic and ancient traditions, and studied Herbology at the Royal Botanical Gardens Edinburgh. My dream was to open a store that could offer an eclectic and personally curated collection of beautiful tarot, artwork, sustainably sourced crystals, herbs, books, and most importantly, handmade artisan candles. Situated on historic Candlemaker Row, I’m bringing candlemaking back to its original home from the 1600s.

The location is of personal significance for me, as several generations of my family lived directly above the shop.
