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-

Not in our Paganism? We’re not off the hook
Lupa Greenwolf already said everything I was thinking about why this is wrong, and more clearly than I can right now. But I can’t say racism, gender essentialism, and homophobia are “Not in my Paganism” because they clearly still are, … Continue reading
