by Liz Riccardi

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like there was a period of time where candles—scented, seasonal, beeswax, soy, whatever—were considered kind of lame. A last minute gift you give someone you don't really care about, collected by women who have nothing to so but sit at home and burn candles. Well, thank god those days are over. What's wrong with staying home and burning candles anyway? Sage, anyone?

The onset of fall is the perfect time to up your candle game and get festive. Forget your basic skulls. Call your coven, and click through the gallery to shop this season's raddest, spookiest candles.
