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-

Okay, That’s Wyrd…
Lon asked me: “So… what exactly IS Wyrd? Does your tradition have a particular take on it?” Wyrd and Orlog go together so tightly that for a while I got swapped which was which, and I’m still only mostly sure … Continue reading

Ways Between the Worlds
Well, the unanimous response is that Gnosis is good to share, so here’s an un-formed poem I received/wrote some time ago. I still need to convert it into a Skaldic meter. It will eventually go into the Vanic Edda I’m … Continue reading

More Personal Gnosis?
Should I be sharing my personal gnosis more? I just started a Tumblr, finally, and as I did a brief search for folks who post material on the Vanir, I quickly found myself overwhelmed. There really are quite a few … Continue reading
