✨ Wishing you a cosy, magical festive season 🖤✨
It’s that time of year when we announce our annual charitable donation, but this year, we’re excited to announce a bigger commitment, as we’re now official members of 1% for the Planet! This means we now donate at least 1% of our annual revenue to environmental and community organisations doing real, on-the-ground restoration work. Through this commitment, we’re able to support two Scottish charities we believe in wholeheartedly:
🌲 Scotland: The Big Picture - leading rewilding efforts across the Highlands and helping nature take root and thrive again.
🦪 Seawilding - the UK’s first community-led native oyster and seagrass restoration project, rebuilding marine ecosystems and coastal biodiversity.

We’re grateful that your support lets us give back in ways that actually matter🖤✨
🎄We’re ready for the Yuletide season and are fully stocked with all of our festive scents! In store and online, these wax melts are available while stock lasts:

Yule
The quintessential festive blend including orange, apple, cinnamon and clove.

Cailleach Queen of Winter
A fresh, wintry blend of pine, fir and cypress.

Hansel & Gretel
Our rich gingerbread scent with warm spices, caramel, and vanilla.

Kookie Vom Krampus
A quirky blend of nutty and sweet, with ginger, orange, and creamy vanilla.

Winter Cabin
Think deep, dark forest mixed with warm glowing embers of an open fire.

Mulled Wine
Zesty fruits and rich winter spices evoke the warmth of festive mulled wine.

We have last year’s sell-out herbal tea, Mystic Winter Spiced Brew, and our Mystic Winter grain incense. And The Witches Yearly Planner 2026 from are in stock, too 😍 Yuletide Collection is available in both Edinburgh locations and online now!✨🖤🎄❄️🕯️✨
Samhain is upon us once again!🎃🕯The veil thins, the nights grow longer, and the wheel turns. Each year, we like to honour not just Samhain itself, but the sacred season that follows - Hallowtide, from 31st October to 11th November. This liminal time hums with quiet magic: a space for ancestral work and descent, as we prepare for the dark months ahead.

Our Hallowtide Collection returns to guide you through this threshold, with scents crafted for the liminal. You’ll find Woodsmoke & Firelight, Persephone’s Descent, and Hallowtide, all available in wax melts, with Persephone’s Descent now joining SerpentCult in perfume form. ✨

We’re also welcoming back our Dark Moon wax melts, along with a brand NEW tea blend - Hallowed Rose - cosy, warming, and perfect for the long, dark nights. 🌑🌹 All available now, in-store and online while stock lasts.

And thank you so much for your patience and kindness as we navigate our busiest time of year (with mischievous internet gremlins at play behind the scenes!👻). Please allow a little extra time for online orders to reach you, and if you’re visiting in person, remember that our Thistle Street shop will be the more manageable location this weekend 🖤✨Happy Halloween! 🎃
🎃🍂This is our busiest season, and the queue can grow quickly at our Candlemaker Row shop in the run up to Samhain. We want to make sure everyone has the best experience possible, while also being considerate of our neighbours.

Last year we opened our second, larger shop on Thistle Street, a beautiful cobbled street just a 15-minute walk away, to ease pressure at Candlemaker Row. We highly recommend heading here for more space, a calmer browse, and all the same products you love. Plus - tarot readings, and our spell jar station! ✨Open 12-6pm Wednesday-Sunday.

If you choose to wait at Candlemaker Row, please keep doorways and shop entrances clear, and allow other pedestrians to walk on the pavement, so everyone can move safely and easily. Our lovely shop witches will help guide the queue to make sure you can get in as soon as possible, so thank you for your cooperation.

We’re looking forward to welcoming you, and we really appreciate your patience and excitement this spooky season! 🖤✨🎃
✨ Samhain Collection update✨
Our Pumpkin Spice Tea has been restocked for the final time this year 🍂🎃 - once it’s gone, it’s gone!

🔥Bonfire candles are selling fast, and our Halloween wax melts are still available, but only while stock lasts:

* Samhain - our twist on the pumpkin spice autumn classic. Always a favourite!
* Wild Hunt - warm cinnamon with juicy apple and a hint of orange
* Sleepy Hollow - earthy, spicy and a little bit sweet, this is a twist on a pumpkin scent for the autumn

Shop the full Samhain Collection in both our shops, and online.
🌙 Use code SAMHAIN for 10% off online orders 🖤✨🎃
We are finally able to announce our big news!! We have a NEW SHOP opening this Sunday 1st September, and you are all invited! The shop is on Thistle Street, in the beautiful Georgian New Town area of Edinburgh, just a short walk from Princes Street.

The reason for opening a second shop in Edinburgh is twofold: we need more space, and we also want to bring back workshops and events. As you know, our shop on Candlemaker Row is very small. This new shop will provide lots of storage space, more space for online orders to be processed, but also most importantly, community space for us to be able to gather again in person! Community is at the heart of everything we do, and we already have events lined up. We will also have tarot readings available in the shop again, with walk-in readings on opening day. The new shop will have all of your favourites, such as our candles, perfume and wax melts. But we’ve also been sourcing a whole range of NEW products, which we’re excited for you to explore!

Here’s a first look 👀 Come along Sunday 1st September from 12-6pm at 41 Thistle Street, Edinburgh, EH2 1DY. We look forward to welcoming you soon!🖤✨THISTLE ST OPEN WED-SUN 12-6PM
Black Moon Botanica is 5 years old today!! 🎂🎉🥂🍾✨I opened Black Moon Botanica in 2019, with the intention of creating an authentic witches shop - the kind of shop that I wanted as a young witch. I’ve been practicing witchcraft since 1991, working with plants and studying astrology, with a lifelong interest in occult and esoteric practices. The shop idea came to fruition after finishing my herbology studies, as a way to offer my crafts and services to the witches of Edinburgh. But more importantly, I wanted to help create and support an active community for those interested in learning about the occult and exploring the many aspects of witchcraft.

5 years ago, the shop was just me, doing my witchy stuff, and hoping it would resonate with others. Now, I make and run everything with my partner Pieter-Paul, and we have a team of amazing staff, our house witches that help make it all possible. I am so grateful for all of our amazing customers, many of which I’m now happy to call friends. We have such a wonderful community and I’m forever thankful for you all 🫶 To celebrate, we’re offering 10% off all online orders from the UK shop until the end of May! Use code BMB5 at checkout🖤✨

We also have some very big & exciting news that we can announce very soon, and I’m sure you will all be as thrilled as we are! Watch this space… 🤭 ~ Brooke
