ABOUT

Our Story kesem candles

Magic

The word Kesem in Hebrew means magic. 

The meaning of magic varies from person to person. For us, magic is in the little things in everyday life. Whether it is a fragrance that evokes an old memory, small moments of happiness, or even a ray of light that gives a different atmosphere to the room.

To us the combination of crystals and candles is a powerful combination, full of energy, healing and simply magical.

About Me

Hi, my name is Ella, and I’m the heart and hands behind Kesem Candles.

What began as a creative side project and fruitful collaboration with my sister slowly grew into something much bigger than I ever imagined.

I’m an expat living in Germany for love, navigating life between cultures, languages, and homes. I am many things: a maker, a dreamer, a sister, a partner, a mother and someone who deeply believes in the power of ritual, scent, and slowing down.

Each candle is created with care and intention, inspired by moments of connection, memories of home, and the quiet beauty of simple pleasures. My hope is that when you light one, you feel grounded, comforted, and a little more connected — to yourself and to the moment.

Thank you for being here and for supporting a small, heart-led brand.
Welcome to the world of Kesem.
