About

About Virgins On Fire Candle Co.

I launched Virgins On Fire Candle Co. in June 2020 seeking creative and financial independence.

This company is about shedding the 9-5 cubicle life, the endless meetings, the shit pay, the total lack of creativity, and the collective suffering from whoever the fuck keeps putting salmon in the microwave.

We are Fuck It, I’m Buying a Cabin.

We are Don’t Let the Fascists Steal Your Joy.

We are about queerness and freedom of thought.

Eccentric people, unique places, and funny ideas.

We are about liberation from the bullshit.

We are against hateful laws and for burning bras.

We are running from the pure virgin life that others expect and igniting our own ways forward.

We are Virgins On Fire and I am so incredibly excited to have you along for the ride.

-Jesse
