About us

In the heart of Lexington, KY, a pioneering candle company is illuminating the path to sustainability and community impact. Founded by Nicole Murphy and her husband, Devane Murphy, our brand is more than just candles; it’s a commitment to a cleaner, more equitable future." 

Our candles are a tribute to our ancestors. Nicole, the founder, has always cherished creating memories with family, particularly the tradition of crafting handmade gifts with her mother. The joy expressed by recipients of her handmade gifts inspired her. In 2020, Nicole found a way to continue reliving her favorite memories through the unique scents of An Ancestor's Touch.

Drawing from African traditions, we craft candles that are not only visually stunning but also profoundly significant. Each candle is meticulously handcrafted, reflecting our dedication to honoring the past while shaping a brighter, sustainable future.

Our mission at An Ancestor’s Touch is to illuminate spaces with eco-friendly wooden wick candles that bring warmth and sustainability into every home. We aim to create beautiful, high-quality candles that enhance your environment and contribute to a healthier planet for future generations.
