Edesia is a quiet offering, born of memory, myth, and the enduring rhythm of the earth. Rooted in my early life on a rural farm in the Pacific Northwest, where sky and field stretched wide and the seasons shaped everything, I carry a lifelong devotion to the seen and unseen worlds. From those first moments with soil-stained hands and star-filled skies, something ancient stirred, and it never left.

My path has carried me across lands and languages, through Croatia, Ukraine, Mexico, Ireland, Italy and Greece, always following that thread of wonder, listening for what time forgets but the soul remembers. I now live on a quiet, windy island where stone and sea keep the pace slow and the heart open. Here, I craft, gather, and tend to a collection of ritual offerings that echo old ways.

Inspired by the Roman goddess of feasting and sacred abundance, Edesia began as a celebration of table and home, but like all living things, it has evolved. What began with vintage linens and silver heirlooms has deepened into a more intimate calling: to offer objects, mentorship and plant-based creations that support personal ceremony, ancestral connection, and the beauty of living slowly.

I draw on classical myth, folk herbalism, ancient history, earth’s seasons, and my continued learning of the wisdom and traditions carried in my bloodlines. My hope is that my offerings speak to something ancient within you, and help you remember the sacredness that has always lived in the everyday.

This is a space for those who move slowly, tend gently, and feel the pull of the old ways.

With love and devotion, Ashe

a metaphoric summer awaited me,
inalienable, eternal, with the creaking wood
the wild grass aroma, and Sappho’s moon.
