Autumn Equinox Rituals Honoring Hestia

Create a seasonal protection spray and ward your home, or just use the ingredients as a spell jar:

🍁 Ingredients: rose petals, dried apple slices, pink salt, cinnamon, sage, bay leaf, cloves. (optional for spell jar: crystals: black tourmaline, amethyst. seal with black wax or cord.)

🍁 if doing a spell jar: write a protection charm/prayer on a piece of paper and put it inside. If making a spray, say it out loud while warding. For example: "Blessed Keeper of the Hearth, protect all who dwell here whether they be near or far away, safe they will be with the ingredients of this spray."

🍁 add the sigils of Hestia-Vesta.

Create a simmer pot to cleanse your house:

🍎 Ingredients: apple slices, cinnamon sticks, bay leaves, cloves, nutmeg, cardamom, orange/blood orange slices, star anise, vanilla extract (optional), pumpkin pie spice (optional)

🍎 Add all ingredients to a pot on a stove with enough water (around 6 cups depending on the size of your pot)

🍎 Cast a cleansing spell/prayer as it boils and you start to smell the aroma. Let the rising vapor be an offering to Hestia and ask Her to help you cleanse your home with it. Reduce heat to a simmer and add more water to replace the water that has evaporated for as long as you want. Remember to practice kitchen safety!!

Some foods you can make and charm with intentions:

Cinnamon oat bread - for success, abundance, prosperity, and wealth (this is my favorite recipe - just add cinnamon when combining all ingredients)

Pomegranate glazed salmon - for abundance, fertility, rebirth, honors Persephone's return to the Underworld, and invokes Hestia Polyolbos

Mashed sweet potatoes or butternut squash - for protection, harmony, friendship

Pumpkin ricotta pasta - for wealth, prosperity, love, fertility

Apple cider - for health and healing

Eat anything that's in season and feel the energy of the Earth (warmed and heated by Hestia at its molten core) warm your soul. Thank Her for these gifts.

Please feel free to add and share any more ideas you have!

Fall Equinox 2024 Topic: Food

Because of my rather different set up in life at this time of living with my mother and starting off fresh with my wife, I wanted to make some posts about different ways to incorporate holiday ideas that may be more alternative, low energy, or mindful of other people's situations because everyone celebrates differently.

Topic: Food! Food often is a big part of how people celebrate in social, religious, and cultural senses. The Fall Equinox being the time of the second harvest of the season also gives us opportunities to enjoy and share our prosperity with our loved ones. Typical foods focused around the Fall do vary between locations, family, cultural significance, and diet choices and restrictions. So instead of just mentioning the typical fall ingredients in this post I want to put some ideas to think about:

Family holiday recipes of any kind

Seasonal items in your location or with cultural significance

Food/Ingredients simply from your own garden or farmers markets

Seasonal items at restaurants, fast food, and stores (not everyone can or wants to cook something big or anything at all and that's okay too)

Foods that just remind you of Fall, that may have special feelings or memories.

And of course we cannot forget donating to (and utilizing if needed) food drives, pantries, volunteering, and food gifting as a great way to share the necessity that is food in this world.

What do you like to eat during the Fall?

Since I haven’t used tumblr in a while I have a massive backlog of things to post! Here is another group of patron tiny commissions of a more witchy nature. All of these are ink and watercolor, either 3x3 or 2x3-ish inches in size.

Day twenty nine - "cozy cat."

Apple saucin'

I impulsively bought a bushel of apples (38lb)

This was only ~1/2 🫠

all the places Hestia can be found

i don’t think Hestia is limited to the kitchen, hearth, and home. i think she’s everywhere we look for her.
