you can find lady hestia in your favourite blanket, covering you. she is that special moment when you can feel the fabric become a little more heavy, holding you a little tighter, being warmer.

Every day I鈥檓 reminded of what a blessing it is to love and be loved by Hestia. She鈥檚 like an older sister, a mother, an aunt, a grandmother. A caring friend. She鈥檚 comforting, gentle, and patient. I can talk to her about anything and she knows just what I need. Her divine love is as warming as cozying up by a fire. I feel her comforting me when I wrap myself up in a blanket or sweater. I hear her laughter in crackling wood flames. How lucky am I to worship her? She breathes life into me and I am strengthened by my devotion to her.
Thank you Blessed Hestia. I trust you. I honor you. I love you.

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

Hestia, goddess of the hearth (of flame/fire), of the home, sacrifices, of buildings, of architecture, of festivities/parties/feasts. The Goddess found at the center of every room sadly does not have a lot of remaining epithets to her name, so I will attempt to give her more that ties into her domains.
Aidios - Eternal
Kloomorphos - Verdant
Polymorphos - Multi-Formed
Polyolvos - Rich in Blessings
Potheinotati - Beloved

Pyrimarmaros - Sparkling Like Fire
Pyristeph膿s - Fire-Wreathed/Fire-Crowned Xenia - Hestia of Hospitality, Hestia of the Guest, Hestia of Friendship, Hestia of the Foreigner, Hestia the Protector (of Protection). The goddess that looks after everyone, who is generous, benevolent, she who is epichthonic in nature, closest to man who dwells closest to us and supports us endlessly in all our endeavors, she who gifts and gives without a second thought with much joy. Everyone will find her presence so warm, peaceful, and calming.

Panakhaia - Of all the Greeks. Common to, or worshipped by all the Hellenes. While in the modern day we aren't any of the above for a good chunk of worshippers, I think we can all agree to apply the sentiment and use it simply as "Common to all and Worshipped by All."
Hypate (Hup谩t膿)/Hypsistos (Hypsiste) - Supreme, Most High.
Kt锚sia - Of the House/Property
Ekkleis铆膩/Ekkl膿s铆膩 - Hestia of the Political Assembly. Lit. Gathering of Those Summoned, basically an assembly of the people convened at the public place of the council for the purpose of deliberating. In place of Guardian of Parliments

Pr贸ti ka矛 Eskh谩t膿s - First and Last (Chances are that I did butcher this one, I'm just trying my best here)
M锚khanitis - Skilled in Inventing. As the one who provides a roof over everyone's heads, the gift to make buildings and homes to live in and dwell in. The one who shares the gift Hermes created with so many of us, and the means to avoid the harshest of storms and weather.
Sekos - Of the Courtyard, or Of Sanctuaries. A Sekos (plural: Sekoi) was a sacred enclosure, sanctuary, or cella in a temple.
L膩虂茂non - Made of Stone/Rock

Seeking solace in Lady Hestia is like going home and curling up by a fire with a cozy blanket and a good book. She soothes my worries and brings me the warm sensation of the hearth. When I veil in her honor, and I cover my head, I feel her hand stroke through my hair, I feel her presence through the sensation of the cloth.
Blessed Hestia, thank you.

i feel like lady hestia enjoys just being around. in the most simple sense. drinking your morning coffee or tea, she's there enjoy it with you. being bored at work, she's there sitting next to you filling you with ideas what can you do when back home. making a quick dish after work, she's there loving all the smells. laying in your bed and looking at the ceiling, she's looking at the same ceiling. she's there, always. and i think this is what makes her so important. she's always there, no matter how small or big the occasion, she's there, with you. her presence is not grand and full of intense emotions, its simple and stable. she's like the air that surrounds us, we know it's there even if we cannot see it, grab it, it's there.

house hunting prayer to Hestia
O Hestia 蟺慰位蠉慰位尾慰蟼, I seek your aid in finding a new home
As you tend the sacred hearth of Olympus may the smoke of heaven guide me to the home meant to be mine
May you guide me to a home where you can be worshipped in your full splendor and glory, where great offerings will be made for you daily in praise and gratitude
May you guide me to a home where my family can live in joy and abundance, and may you protect us from struggle and grief
You are ever eternal, rich in blessings, most beloved Queen of the home and hearth. May your divine fire roar, keeping the universe in motion. And with it, may you help me find a home worthy of your glory.
