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-

Sweet Whispers
I was musing about how different some of my fellow Freyjaswomen’s experience with our beloved Vanadis tend to be, when my lover replied: “Well, your path of Freyja is more sovereignty and sex magic and bloody knives. Which is still … Continue reading
First Class Tours
Initiation is a transformation of your soul. Yeah, that’s on purpose, but in practice what it means is that your way of moving through the world becomes something unfamiliar. The more intensive the initiation, the more intensive your mystical practice, … Continue reading
Choosing What Counts
Some people I respect have recently [and not so recently] noted the huge problems with the Law of Attraction’s reductionist “thinking causes getting” ideal. Essentially, the Law of Attraction confuses correlation for causation. There are plenty of quite reasonable ways … Continue reading
The Jail Ministry of Magic
Wednesday I had another round of jail ministry. It’s not quite the same as prison ministry. The environment is more restrictive than most prisons, and there’s a lot less to do. The folks in jail aren’t there to stay very … Continue reading
