About Ember & Oath
Ritual for real life
Ember & Oath was created from a simple belief: meaningful ritual should feel personal, honest, and alive.
It should not require perfect tools, rigid rules, or someone else’s definition of what spirituality is supposed to look like.
Sometimes ritual is a wedding beneath the desert sky. Sometimes it is lighting a candle after a difficult day, blessing a new home, reclaiming a name, honoring a loss, or choosing to begin again.
Ember & Oath is a home for those moments.
Based in the Las Vegas area, Ember & Oath offers personalized ceremonies, intentional goods, spiritual resources, and tools for creating meaning in everyday life.
The person behind the flame
I’m Nicole, the creator of Ember & Oath.
Pagan practice has been part of my life for more than twenty years, shaping how I understand nature, creativity, intention, transformation, and the many ways people make meaning for themselves.
My practice has never been about performing spirituality perfectly. It has grown through real life—the beautiful parts, the messy parts, the grief, the humor, the reinvention, and the moments when all you can manage is one small act of intention.
That lived approach is at the heart of everything I create.
I am an ordained officiant, artist, maker, and longtime Pagan practitioner. My work brings those parts of my life together through ceremonies, ritual goods, spiritual wellness, and creative practices designed to feel approachable rather than prescribed.
Why Ember & Oath exists
For a long time, spiritual spaces have made many people feel as though they are too inexperienced, too unconventional, too skeptical, too queer, too disabled, too messy, or simply not spiritual in the “right” way.
Ember & Oath exists as an alternative to that.
There is no expectation that you already know the correct words, own the perfect altar, follow one specific tradition, or have everything figured out.
You are allowed to ask questions.
You are allowed to adapt traditions.
You are allowed to create something new.
You are allowed to let ritual meet you exactly where you are.
What guides this work
Intention over perfection
Ritual does not need to be elaborate to matter. The meaning behind an action is often more important than how polished it looks.
Personal over prescribed
Your beliefs, relationships, identity, and experiences should shape your ceremony or practice—not the other way around.
Respect over assumption
Every person arrives with a different story. I will not assume your beliefs, traditions, pronouns, family structure, or relationship to spirituality.
Collaboration over performance
Whether we are creating a ceremony or developing a custom ritual, the process should feel like something we build together.
Humor is allowed
Sacred does not have to mean painfully serious. Laughter, personality, and a little weirdness are welcome here.
