A skald is given an agile tongue, to sing stories for the entertainment and education of all, this you know.
A skald is also given ears, to listen, or where will the stories come from?
When a person raises their voice to speak of their experiences, you have three choices:
Argue, and gain nothing.
Leave, and lose nothing.
Listen, and learn much.
Choose wisely. You are never the only one who learns from your choices.
–Freyja
My name is Ember Cooke. I serve the Vanir - Freyja, Freyr, and Their kin - as a priestess, minister, teacher, bard, artist, medium, and witch. Or to put it the Heathen way, as a gythia, galdrakona, and seidhkona.
My personal practice is more diverse, as the Vanir have lead me into cross-training, interfaith work, and counseling for the wider Pagan community as needed. My friends and allies may span the world, but it is the Vanir I love as family. -E-
