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-

The Privilege of Narrative
Reading around the Pagan social media I’m finding that some people are claiming that the dialogue around racism at PantheaCon and in the local community is an attempt to “hijack” our “narrative”. Are you fucking kidding me?! Picking up a … Continue reading
