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-

Seeress: Nan Edwards Boyster
This is my friend and sometimes-teacher Nan Edwards Boyster. Nan is, simply put, Good People. She’s also one of the small handful of readers I go to when I need outside divination, confirmation or clarification on my own work, or … Continue reading

Love Will Come
This song has been running through my head for weeks now, telling me to admit my bias. I may need to make a rule that I will not do divination on the question “Will I find love?” I admit, in … Continue reading

PCon Crash
PantheaCon went well, by and large. Never without incident, of course – there’s waaaaaay too many people there for that to ever be the case. But far more good than bad. Being me, and hypercritical, and moody in February, I … Continue reading
