I made some beads for my prayers to Lady Hestia! I use beads similar to this in my craft for spells/chants so I figured I'd make some for prayers/small talks with Hestia. 🧡

I found some charms that reminded me of her and had some beads in colors that I associate with her. I might change them a bit later on but I'm very happy with it right now. I just wanted to share them with you all. 🧡

Khaire Hestia for guiding me to someone who understands me and loves me dearly 💛 you deserve everything goddess and I'm so glad you've favoured me

My personal altar dedicated to Lady Hestia. 🧡

I just got done cleaning and refreshing it-one of my favorite things to do to show my love! 🧡

I love to see other altars dedicated to the Gods and wanted to share mine, as well. 🧡

This photo shows one of my favorite parts. I'm not able to purchase a statue of Lady Hestia just yet so I made a tiny little Goddess out of polymer clay for Her/to represent Her (it's right next to the small purple unicorn-it really is a tiny little thing!).

Also look at this cute little glass piggy I found!

YAY lol I'm happy 🧡

[eightofpentakles]

first days of college, thank you Hestia💛

[eightofpentakles]

I pray to thee, Lady Hestia, Blessed Keeper of Hearth and Home,

Protector of families both by blood and by choice,

You who maintain the eternal fire on Olympus,

You are the spark that ignites the flame,

The warmth that comforts in the chill of night.

In your unending warmth and tender-heartedness,

My soul finds peace and healing.

Please guide me with patience and strength as I strive for independence,

And navigate the complexities of life

May your divine presence bring harmony within my family and protection for my home.

With profound gratitude and unwavering reverence,

I offer this prayer to you,

O Hestia, eternal and benevolent.

May your favor be ever upon me.

Khaire!

Welcome, welcome to Hestia’s little corner away from the rest! Aka my blog for my dearest patroness!

Hestia and I have been working together for over three years now (oh how time flies!) and I am completely devoted to her. Devotions to me are lifelong and I am beyond excited to spend it with Hestia.

@eightofpentakles is her blog only. If you wish to see any of my other work feel free to visit my Hellenic Main Blog, @aceofcupsbiggestfan !

This blog is religious. Everyone is welcome, but please do not interact if you are coming with the intent to cause harm, arguments or anything else. Hate of ANY kind will NOT be tolerated and you will be blocked immediately.

If any questions come to mind reach out on @aceofcupsbiggestfan ! I will help to the best of my ability! Otherwise I like this blog quite—a safe space for me and Hestia (and followers) to chill wrapped up in our favorite blankets.

Thank you for reading and enjoy your stay! May Hestia bless you and your home. Khaire Goddess!

Lots of love, Mud 💛
