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-

Heathenry from a Vanatru perspective
First of all, what is Heathenism? Heathenism is modern Reconstructionist Scandinavian and/or Germanic Paganism. (Slavic Reconstructionism is also sometimes included, and certainly has great similarities, but I don’t know nearly as much about it… yet!) Can you unpack that? “Reconstructionist” … Continue reading
