hi! i'm ashley and i'm so grateful you are here <3

sun moon rising started as a prayer - a prayer for growth, self-love, and happiness. candle making has become more than just a hobby for me, it's given me a sense of spiritual and creative purpose. it's challenged me and has helped me grow in so many ways. i'm learning (and practicing) patience and how to embrace all parts of myself, even the parts that need a little extra love and forgiveness some days.

i'm grateful for the community i've been able to grow and connect with through candle making. sun moon rising and i are here because of you, my virtual and irl customers. if you're reading this, thank you for being here and supporting me and my journey.

the act of lighting a candle is so simple, yet so powerful.
