Born in Kamloops
Meet the maker behind the magic.
Janell created Arcane Alchemy during a season of change, turning candle-making into a creative refuge and a business built slowly, intentionally and by hand.

Candle questions, answered
Before you light
What makes an intention candle different?
An intention candle connects fragrance and visual symbolism with a personal ritual. The meaning comes from the intention you bring to the moment; Arcane Alchemy candles make no medical or supernatural guarantees.
Where are Arcane Alchemy candles made?
Arcane Alchemy candles are hand-poured in small batches in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada.
What candle sizes are available?
The five core scents come in a 4 oz discovery size and an 8 oz full-size candle. Litha and future seasonal candles are offered only in 8 oz.
How does the Arcane Ritual Club work?
Choose any full-size candle and a delivery rhythm of every 4, 6 or 8 weeks. Janell confirms the scent, cadence, shipping and first payment personally by email; Ritual Club membership is not added as a one-time website item.
Can I order Arcane Alchemy candles in Canada or the United States?
Canadian orders can calculate tracked shipping and pay securely on this website. U.S. delivery is quoted individually so the shipping rate, currency and any possible duties are clear before payment.
Which candle should I choose as a gift?
Choose by scent or feeling: Citrus Luck for bright beginnings, Woodsy Protection for grounding, Vanilla Love for warmth, Floral Health as a symbol of care, Morning Ritual for an espresso lover, or Litha for someone who lives for summer.
How should I care for my candle?
Trim the wick to approximately 6 mm before each burn, keep the candle within sight and allow a full melt pool on the first burn. Read the complete candle care guide for more.
