Our Story

Groupie was born from Jenny's need to climb out of depression through creating something tangible. What started as pouring candles at home became a full sensory experience when her synesthesia made pairing scent with sound feel natural and obvious.

From playlist candles to blacklight tarot, we're all about engaging your senses in ways that feel authentic and alive.

FAQ

Find the most frequently asked questions below.
  • Each candle features a scannable code that links to a curated Qobuz playlist. Scan the code with your phone, light the candle, and let the scent and sound create the vibe.

  • We use coconut-apricot wax crafted in small batches. We switched from soy because this blend burns cleaner, holds fragrance better, and comes from highly renewable sources.
    Every candle is handpoured in our Lawrence, Kansas studio with attention to quality and clean burning.

  • Yes! We create custom candles for weddings, events, corporate gifts, and brand collaborations. Contact us to discuss your project, we'd love to collaborate with you!

  • The playlists are designed to pair specifically with each candle's scent, but if you love a playlist, you can always search for it on Qobuz and add it to your library.

  • Every reading includes card interpretation and a curated oracle playlist. Depending on your format (email, virtual, in-person, or party), you'll get personalized insight paired with music that matches your reading's energy.

  • We use the Ultraviolet Tarot deck, originally commissioned by Modest Mouse, which glows under UV light. It transforms the reading into a full sensory experience — visually striking, musically paired, and deeply memorable.

  • Yes! Bring your friends, we'll bring the blacklight cards. Host at your place or ours (East Lawrence, KS studio). Perfect for birthdays, bach parties, celebrations, or no reason at all. We offer time blocks based on group size, ensuring everyone gets their moment with the cards.

  • Nope. Tarot is a reflective tool, not magic or fortune-telling. The cards create space for conversation about what's already happening in your life. We're not summoning anything or predicting the future, we're just asking good questions and noticing patterns. If it's not for you, that's totally okay.
