Subtle ways to worship Hestia

🏠☕️🏠☕️🏠☕️🏠☕️🏠☕️🏠☕️🏠☕️🏠

• make yourself a cup of tea and enjoy reading a book, or watching a show or movie that brings you comfort

• decorate your home with things that have value and meaning to you, not just whatever is on trend. I personally love to decorate with Victorian and art deco decor and antiques, as well as my houseplants and crystals!

• if you have a fireplace, start a fire and sit around it to let it warm you, if you don’t, light some candles in an intimate space like your bathroom! maybe sit there and meditate to Hestia to thank her for your home and comfort.

• get cozy in bed during a storm or power outage, take solace knowing you are safe and warm in your cozy covers she heats for you.

• take a hot bath or shower and enjoy the cozy intimacy of it. if you want to go the extra mile, maybe add bubbles or a bath bomb, or light a candle/listen to music to relax with.

• clean and dust/maintain your space, make sure to keep it tidy and healthy!

What do you to to worship lady Hestia?

Hail to you Mother Vesta. I see you and I feel you here. The Earth is your hearth.

Books are expensive, Hermes thinks learning about your religion should be free.

They're just the basics and only a few, but feel free to ask me to add anything and I'll try my best!

Plural witch ideas to bring your plurality into your witch craft!

1- make an intention bracelet and tie in strings representing your headmates with intentions of happiness, connection, communication, or any intention you’d like!

2- bottle some herbs that represent your headmates or system and cleanse it (with incenses or perfected method) to help clean out negative energy

3- buy witchy things you know your headmates likes, like their favorite herbs and crystals or incenses smells!

Most importantly hace fun and respect boundaries

Hey friends; I'd appreciate a boost on this! I'm gathering some research material and would be very interested to know from Hellenic polytheists which deity feels the most present or immanent in your life. When I say "present or immanent," I mean the deity who feels most involved in your life, or the one who is most responsive to your prayers/offerings. The one that makes you think, "Wow, the gods are actually with me." That kind of thing.

Thank you in advance! 💜

Here is your reminder that veiling does NOT have to be with traditional veils!

It's okay to veil with a hat.

It's okay to veil with a bandana.

It's okay to veil with a scarf.

It's okay to veil with jewelry.

It's okay to veil with oils.

It's okay to veil with perfume.

It's okay to veil with a simple cleansing.

Heck, it's okay to veil with hair binding!!

It's okay to veil with ANYTHING, and to prove it, here is my veil for today. It's a new hairstyle I'm trying out! (Also, a face reveal?? omg!)

Love yall! Take care of yourselves 🫶🌻

Just as a reminder: this is a trans safe blog. I do what I can to be a safe haven for trans, intersex, nonbinary, gender fluid, agender, and gender queer people. A breath of fresh air for those who need it, and catharsis for others. Just know, I see you, I support you, and wish you happy days.

7 Virtues of Hellenism.

Xenia - This is the pillar that signifies hospitality, generosity and reciprocity. It's typically demonstrated in a guest/host dynamic.

Kharis - This is the pillar that signifies appreciation and gratitude. It entails giving to the gods and and expressing gratitude when you receive something from them.

Eusebia - This is the pillar that signifies reverence and veneration towards the gods. It can be translated to 'piety' or 'reverant conduct' meaning that you show respect for them.

Hagneia - This is the pillar that signifies purifying yourself. It entails having moral, perhaps physical too, purity and avoiding miasma where possible.

Arete - This is the pillar that signifies excellence and brilliance. It entails trying to reach your highest potential and this can be in any field.

Sophia - This is the pillar that signifies the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom.

Sophrosyne - This is the pillar that signifies self-control and prudence. It involves being of sound mind and remaining balanced, which can further lead to other positive qualities to have.

I hope these are right and that I didn't misunderstand their meanings! Hopefully this is useful to anyone, I certainly enjoyed making the post!
