1/30 Days of Devotion To Hestia

Day 1 - Basic Introduction

Hestia (Ἑστια - meaning Hearth) is the Greek goddess of the hearth, home, and family. She had few actual temples but instead presided over hearths in all homes, altars, and the cities. Prayers and sacrifices started and ended with Hestia which is a reoccurring pattern in her worship, such as honoring the first/last bites of a meal.

I have always appreciated her for years and recently I've decided to start incorporating her more officially in my life and I'm very excited to do so. I want to start focusing on household worship and I thought a Days of Devotion to Hestia would be a great way to really get me started.

30 Days of Deity Devotion

Day 1: Basic introduction of the deity.

Lord Asmodeus is one of the ruling kings of Hell or The Underworld.

His (or they as most Demons don't have genders) origins like most Demons or Daimons is a mixed bag. Some say he was one of the fallen angels that revolted with Lucifer, others see him as a Djinn from Persia. Or both.

His domains are Lust, Love, Abundance, Wrath, War and greed (but he's actually not big on the former)

Usually sends songs, gold and feelings of lust as a sign that he's around. Also chickens, Birds and Dragon fly's or Dragons (but that could just be specific to myself)

He is associated with the signs Taurus & Aquarius, sex, lust, gambling, money, music, battles and vengeance.

For myself he can appear as a red Incubus, or an older businessman type (Mobster) with a cane, or his original look of a "Djinn" looking demon with black eyes, sharp teeth, pointy ears, a horse head on one shoulder and a bull on the other with a possible rooster foot usually hidden under a large cloak or robe also wearing a cap or crown. Hair is usually black or white.

His energy is very warm and heavy but in a good way. He definitely gives off Master or Daddy Dom energy if your into that. 😈😏

30 Days of Freyja - Day 2

How did I become aware of Freyja?

Like many modern Norse pagans, I took an interest in Norse mythology after watching "The Avengers" and seeing Chris Hemsworth as Thor. I read a few myths here and there, but I never dove deep. At the time, I didn't know paganism was an option for me, so I continued to stay agnostic and read lore mainly to see the influence that Marvel took. I want to say reading into Frigg's history was the first true introduction to Freyja, but I don't remember enough to say for sure.

When I started my journey into paganism, I started as just a general witch with interests in the gods. I joined a Discord server that has many types of pagans. I didn't feel a strong connection to the Kemetic or Hellenic pantheon, but I did have an interest in the Norse. While doing this research, I did have someone reaching out, but the vibes almost reminded me of Aphrodite. It wasn't until I meditated one night that a women filled my head surrounded by a golden light. I couldn't make out her face, but she had a very strong presence. I did a tarot reading immediately after that meditation and finally figured out the presence I had been feeling was Freyja.

⏤͟͟͞͞ Day one of 30 days of devotion to loki ♡

day 1 : a basic intro to this deity

Lord Loki, or just Loki is the norse god of mischief, chaos, etc. He is gender fluid, presenting as many different genders throughout history. As he is the god of mischief, he can be alot of chaos to handle and might not be the best beginner deity, but I love him with all my heart. He is an amazing deity, and if you ever get the chance to work with him and you think it's the right path, go for it! In my practice, he has loving and father like energy. He is protective and chaotic.

Hail Lord Loki.

[wolfhowlwitch]

ok ok I need to work on more dedicated worship so I’m gonna try out @4res’s 30 Days of Them, linked here:

(I've had this in my drafts for ages, seeing a mutual do it reminded me to do it myself!)

so without further ado, day 1!

1. introduce your God(s), but do not use Their names.

She is 3, and those 3 are many. She is the washer at the ford, the battle frenzy, the crow mother. She is a low hum, a vicious chant, a murmured encouragement. She speaks in screams and silence. She can be found in the fullest Moon, the smallest acorn, the sharpest knives. when you cannot find Her, it is because She is in the shadows, always there and at the ready.

He is words on the wind, laughter in the rainfall, footsteps in the language of birds. He is the writer at the desk, the wax that seals the envelope, and the swiftness with which it travels. He is the thief and the giver. He speaks in the peals of laughter echoing through a building, and He finds you as the hand that lifts your chin and wipes your tears.

She is both maiden and queen, both water and wine. She is in the warmth of sunshine on your skin and She is in the cold, refreshing dampness of the first rainfall. She is in the fog, floating in the wind like a ghost, gracing the grass with the dew, blessing the graves with a voice like a song. She speaks in smoke-worn whispers and child-like scream. to find Her, you must look for the beginning or the end- wherever you look She will be, so enrobed in life and death She will be hard to comprehend.

He is a Father, measured distance and warm embrace. He is a hand to hold, to lead you through each step, His absence met by His patiently waiting smile for you at the End of Ends. He is answers to questions you didn't ask, He is questions you never thought to think. He is the chill of the rain on your back, the shadow under the stairs, the tap of branch on your window- and He is finding comfort in these moments, not fear. He speaks from below, His voice an echo from beneath your feet, and you will find Him when the clock freezes in the cold.

30 Days of Devotion (DAY 1)

Day one of #30daysofdevotion to Lady Hestia, is all about introducing the deity. Sooooo!! Meet Lady Hestia, goddess of the Hearth and Home. Hestia is a Greek Goddess, and was the Youngest (and eldest) of the Olympians. Lady Hestia was the first born, and last to be set free from the confines of Kronos' stomach. She is a virgin goddess, similar to Lady Artemis. Hestia is, to me, a very motherly energy, someone who will be there when you need someone to turn to. She never had any biological children of her own, and because of this I personally believe she has taken every worshiper under her wing. As a goddess of the hearth, she accepts a part of every offering to the other Hellenic gods. Hestia is a wonderful deity to worship and work with, although I am just beginning to meet her and worship her. I am using this to further my relationship with her.

2/30 Days of Devotion To Hestia

How Did You First Become Aware Of This Deity?

This one is a little tricky for me with Hestia but I feel like the first time I recognized her was when I found a golden Greek statue at a garage sale years ago that's maybe 2 feet tall. It's most likely not suppose to be Hestia, or maybe really any deity, but I remember looking up different Greek gods and dubbing it her. She's traveled with me to all the different places I've lived, she's been appreciated through almost all of my practice but I never ended up actually worshipping her until now.

In a sense of awareness of her presence I would say in the last couple of months when I've been feeling spiritual I can sense her around me, I feel her around the house as I live and take care of it.
