Ash & Elm offerings is my small, handmade soap business. I make everything myself, in small batches, and I take my time with it because how something is made matters.
I let soaps cure fully and keep the recipes simple without added fragrance or color. These bars are meant to be clean and uncomplicated to use. If a bar has a scent, it comes from the ingredients themselves.
The name Ash & Elm Offerings comes from Norse mythology, where humanity begins with trees. That idea has stayed with me and has shaped how I approach my work – rooted, natural, and intentional.
Each batch is worked with intention. Every bar is infused with Fehu and Algiz as a foundation for sustenance, protection, and steady growth. The individual rune within each bar is chosen as a form of divination, meant for the person who receives it.
Some soaps remain part of my regular line. Others are made once and not repeated. When something is finished I let it be finished and make room for what wants to be made next!
