EmberVoices
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-

4 (Real) Reasons Heathens Hate Lokeans: By a Lokean
Excellent points all – especially the observations of overlap between Lokeans and neurodiverse, QUILTBAG, disabled (especially invisible disabilities), and/or chronically ill folk.
