[grannybeards]

Hey I know I'm not the type but times are hard - I have a four month old baby and no childcare options so returning to work is off the cards for now. Even just a reblog of this post or a read of it will make a huge difference to me.

I'd really appreciate if anyone fancied a look at my new Etsy shop, it's going to be mainly jewellery and antique curiosities. We've currently got some really lovely gold rings for sale, all 1920s or earlier and have some great little pendants and charms coming soon too.

I can assure you all of the quality of our items, my husband is an antiques auctioneer and valuer so we are checking all the items in person before buying them and pricing them as fairly as possible for what they are.

I know they're luxury items and lots of people don't have the money for that at the moment, but if you could just have a nosy and maybe a favourite that would mean the world to me and would be a big step towards getting us some sales to support my family.

Love you all very much and please don't feel obligated to do anything you don't want to!

Equivalents• Vesta (Roman), loki (Norse), Brigid (Celtic), Hathor (Egyptian)

Signs they are reaching out• having a strong urge to Vail in her honor, seeing her animals and symbols in your dreams, and seeing her imagery a lot, everything at home suddenly going well.

Vows/omans• that she “would be a maiden all her days”

Morals• morally light/pure

Courting• None 

Past lovers/crushes• None

Personality• She avoids drama, and is generous, but her temper is volcanic in nature, she is slow to anger, but when she gets angry her rage is a force of nature. She is modest, tranquil, and industrious

Home• Mount Olympus 

Mortal or immortal • immortal 

Fact• Historically she is supposed to be the first deity offered to in a ritual due to being the goddess of fire, she's the oldest Olympian, She is spat out last by Kronos so she is also the youngest, she shares her seat with Diyonisus, she did not give it up, she receives a share of every sacrifice/prayer to the gods, and she is commonly seen alongside with Hermes, I would recommend putting their alters close together.

Pet• she has no pets.

Children • she has no children.

Appearance in astral or gen• she was typically represented wearing a veil and robe. In some images, she held a flowering branch or kettle as well.

Festivals • None, at every feast and meal a liberation was made to her name first and last, but I associate Thanksgiving with her, but her Roman counter part Vesta has 1-15 June of each year, an then another festival celebrated on 8-9 July.  Hestia is also mentioned on 8 June. But a neo-pagan sets aside 26 December – 22 January as a month devoted to Hestia.

Status• Virgin theoi goddess.

What disrespects her turning away people at your home (she is a goddess of hospitality and it was seen as disrespectful to her to do so.)

Planet• unknown 

Her Tarot cards• the Temperance, the fourteenth Major Arcana card.

Remind me of• Hot cocoa, and Thanksgiving. 

Scents/Inscene • Lavender, Rose, spring water,  rain, Pumpkin, Apple pie, cinnamon, fall leaves, Chamomile, Myrrh, Frankincense, Iris, Angelica, Peony, Angelica, iris, Sandalwood 

My opinion • I like her, but I'm scared of her too. (what a shocker!) 

Prayers• 

Historical-

Holy Queen of Sanctity, we hymn you, Hestia, whose abiding realm is Olympus and the middle point of earth and the Delphic laurel tree! You dance around Apollo’s towering temple rejoicing both in the tripod’s mantic voices and when Apollo sounds the seven strings of his golden phorminx and, with you, sings the praises of the feasting gods. We salute you, daughter of Kronos and Rhea, who alone brings firelight to the sacred altars of the gods; Hestia, reward our prayer, grant wealth obtained in honesty; then we shall always, dance around your glistening throne.

For the lost -

Blessed Hestia, the first and the last, and the always flame. May your light burn bright and strong, May your prayers be those of respect and love, May you guide the lost, And give to those who have nothing. I give thanks to you, Hestia, for all that you have done And continue to do.

For people with intrusive thoughts -

I ask Hestia, the kind goddess, to help those who feel down. May they find comfort and peace inside of their homes and inside their own minds. Protect them for their destructive thoughts, and be the safe place they need so much

A prayer for homeles—

In Hestia’s name, may you always have a home and a roof over your head. May you always be comfortable and warm with a full belly. May you always be in good spirits and good company, never knowing the pervading loneliness that envelopes the soul.

Morning 

Blessed Hestia, Fill this home with your light and bounty, As the day fills it with golden sunshine.

Evening

Glorious Hestia, Let your hearth fire warm this house, As night draws her shadowed cloak over it now.

Blessings of the kitchen-

Hestia bless my little kitchen, I love it’s every nook And bless me as I do my work, Wash pots and pans and cook. May the meals that I prepare, Be seasoned from above, With thy blessings and thy grace, But most of all thy love

Some Basic Types Of Jewelry

The term Jewelry is derived from a word Jewel. Today there are various types of jewelry available in the market. If you are fond of collecting different design and types of jewelry then this article is really going to help you because in this article I’m going to describe some basic types of jewelry. Costume Jewelry: Costume jewelry is also known as junk jewelry, fake jewelry and fashion jewelry. The costume jewelry was introduced as a cheap jewelry in 1935. Basically costume jewelry is made up of less expensive materials like plastics, synthetic stones, glass etc. It is very cheap as compare with other types of jewelry but it is very attractive. It adds style or beauty in a personality. Costume jewelry can be made up of different types of materials like glass beads, silver and some semi-precious stones. Nowadays, costume jewelry is also made up with precious metals. The value of metal used in the costume jewelry creates a very big difference between cheap and relatively expensive costume jewelry.

There is some antique costume jewelry is also available today. Antique costume jewelry adds elegance in a personality and it will also add some royal touch. Various kinds of antique costume jewelry items are available like earrings, bracelets, bangles and rings. Pearls Jewelry: Pearl jewelry has a very classic look and it has the ability to attract any kind of woman. Basically pearl jewelry has a magical look because of the natural look of pearl. Pearls are naturally created by the oysters. Pearl jewelry is available in various shapes and colors. The most common shapes of pearls are button, coin, rice, potato, oval, circle and many more. Usually fresh water pearls are used in the manufacturing of jewelry. Fresh water pearl jewelry is available in almost every color. The pearl jewelry is very classy and it is also not very expensive like gold and diamond. Luxurious Jewelry: The luxurious jewelry is usually made up of expensive materials like gold, platinum and diamond.

The luxurious jewelry is manufactured by the big brands of jewelry industry like Cartier, Bvlgari, Oscar Heyman and many more. These brands are specialists of jewelry designing which can be made up of diamond, gold and platinum. This kind of jewelry can easily range from some hundred dollars to 2 million dollars. A ring that can be gifted by an actor Ben Affleck to Jennifer Lopez is cost about a million dollar. Most of the luxurious jewelry can be made up with extremely detailed and ornate designs. Some people also buy expensive jewelry for investment because we all know that the value of gold, diamond and platinum is increasing very rapidly. Gems Jewelry: Nowadays gem stone jewelry is gaining popularity very rapidly because of two reasons. The first reason is their size and second is their unique colors. Usually gem stone jewelry is not very pocket friendly and their price is more than costume jewelry. The cost of the gem stone jewelry depends on which kind of gem stone you are using in your jewelry. The famous gem stones which can be used in jewelry are opals, ruby, topaz, diamond, spinals and aquamarines.

Hey guys, just so you know, the orange stuff called sunstone here may not be a rock. There's an artisanal glass known by so many names it's difficult to keep track of. Goldstone, sunstone, sandstone, aventurine, and likely others. It's made using dissolved copper in a low oxygen atmosphere, and the copper is reduced and precipitated into the glass. Very pretty. Not a stone.

"cat's eye stone" and "moonstone" are both poorly regulated terms which in turn could refer either to a type of glass or an actual stone.

Don't buy brown diamonds called "chocolate diamonds." Not because they're bad or anything, but because they're not nearly as valuable as the company that trademarks that term will tell you they are. If you buy "brown diamonds" you'll get them cheaper.

Tiger's eye is brown to orange. There is a blue variety. If the stone has multiple colours, it's dyed. They'll all have some amount of colour play, but there shouldn't be purple, green, and blue. Not naturally, anyway. Tiger's eye can also be bleached.

Don't go swimming with malachite

Don't wear fluorite as a ring or pretty much anything that can get scratched or dropped or hit.

Mystic topaz, mystic quartz, azotic topaz, etc. are treated stones, having been coated on at least one side with a thin layer of tin or titanium oxide. They're not unnatural per se, but they don't naturally look like that.

I'm not against any of these gemstones by the way, just deceptive marketing practices. Wear what you like!

*except copper bearing minerals like azurite and malachite. Be sure they're sealed, and keep them out of prolonged contact with water. Fluorite is harder than your teeth, but not much else. It will break if you hit it too hard, and sometimes just dropping it is enough. Beware of cleavage planes.

Also, beware of black coral jewelry. It's made using an endangered species of coral, so make sure that any jewelry that uses it is either an antique or recycled.
