tiny things i noticed lady hestia likes

journaling in bed

and having a journal dedicated for her, i have a simple notebook that i bought year ago and simple decorated the cover and dedicated it for her

not buying a lot of stuff for her - sometimes as i look through my stuff that i no longer use i feel this overwhelming need to just put it on my hestia altar, but then when i see something nice in the store and think "i could get it for lady hestia" i feel this need to just leave it be, not buy it

making time for cozy time/activities, saying no to thing that i know i will not enjoy

planning cozy activities, even just fantasising "oh i would love to have a reading marathon"

tea parties, not the big ones - one cup for me, one for her, a plate of cake and cookies, and a candle lit for her

slowing down, one activity at the time, one thing on my mind

having a favourite mug, i have one that i am so excited about, cannot wait to drink my coffee in the morning, and i feel so connected to lady hestia when i drink from it, its like its also her favourite mug

bonnet, i knitted myself a bonnet and i could just feel her giggling, and every time i wear it - i feel so happy

May Lady Hestia

Help you

Find comfort in every situation.

[fabledfoxglove]

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.

RIDING THE BUS AS A DEVOTIONAL ACT

[ts-witchy-archive]

Hestia Devotional Activities

I was cleaning my room last night and found this list on a random piece of paper. I've been worshipping/working with Lady Hestia for roughly 2 years now so I have no idea when these ideas are from but I hope you enjoy!

Pick up rubbish in communal areas

Offer the first or last bites/portions of food your to her

Cooking/baking for yourself or others

Having a candle lit whenever possible (electric or real)

Alternatively, playing a video of a fire place. (This is my favourite)

Volunteering at or donating to homeless or DV shelters

Setting healthy boundaries with friends and family

Tea/Coffee magick is always a great devotional opportunity

Get involved with your local community in anyway possible.

Additionally, getting involved in politics! Advocating for policies you believe will better the community is absolutely in alignment with Hestia and her role in ancient Greece.

Allow yourself to rest (this is UPG but i've always found that she just wants you to take care of yourself more than anything).

Do a chore you've been putting off for a long time and dedicate it to her

Organise to hang out with some friends and/or family

Be kind to others AND YOURSELF!!

Veil or bind your hair!

Wear something red or orange (I normally opt for a red hair tie and bind my hair with it. 2 birds, 1 stone)

Make a devotional playlist for her

While we're on the topic of digital witchcraft, make a pinterest board or a mood board for her

Learn about kitchen witchery

Updated Lady Hestia altar 🔥

[ave-hestia]

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 🧡

Sharing a cup of tea with Hestia today and pouring an extra cup for anyone who needs it. Take a moment and share in the warmth, no matter where you are or when you see this 🧡

[hellenic-gaelic-altar]

Finally finished making my Greek alphabet rune stones! Some of the markings bled with the gloss because I used sharpie but I'm pretty happy with how they turned out✌🏼

[puppy-alythia]

Sometimes being Hellenic is like:

Here is an offering I worked really hard for, I made it/bought it specifically for you because this is something you're associated with. I hope you enjoy it and I pray that you can guide me on the path I need help with

Other times...:

Huh, I really need to give an offering and pray to this deity but I don't know what to give them. *feels compulsive urge to give them an avocado and instinctively knows its the deity* okay, if you want this. This is for you, please help me with what I need. Thank you for all your help

[herluminouswitch]
