A personal UPG that I am beginning to associate with Lady Hestia is her affiliation with cats. Cats find comfort in a cozy blanket. Feeling at home and relaxed. Like snuggling up in a good book and a cup of tea or coffee (or cocoa if you have preference).
Could be a weird take honestly,, any opinions?

Moving to university has somehow brought me closer to Lady Hestia. The feeling of not belonging, the longing for a home after moving to the other side of the world, brought me even closer to household gods.
Thank you Hestia, Bes, Sutekh, Aset, Zeus, Hermes and Taweret for helping settle in and find a sense of belonging in this new place despite the adversity and the uncertainty of my circumstances.

It’s finally here! After wanting this book for over a year I was finally able to purchase it. I was also able to buy a new devotional necklace - one that I could specifically dedicate to my patron, Lord Apollo.
I know this book is a wealth of knowledge and I am *ecstatic* to finally have a physical book I can use for reference. I love being able to find so much information online, but at my heart I’m a bit old school and prefer print media.

everything about beard can be explained when you think to yourself "oh right...he was raised catholic"
#🧍♀️🧍♀️🧍♀️🧍♀️🧍♀️#NOBODY can tell me he wasn't raised in a catholic household at least to some extent#a midwestern catholic upbringing in the 80s/90s of course he's got issues#his mom is a devout qanon supporter / consersvative. rip .#his prayer? his worship of ted/jane like they're religious beings? being judas? i meannnnnnnn#ted lasso#coach beard#he literally equates being in a church to missing jane ok catholic boy#peoria has a big catholic population!

Finding information on Lady Hestia seems to be a bit difficult. It's all the same information, and it's not much in volume, if I may add.
I'd just like to have a good starting point to set grounds with her worship. I like to have a small but decent altar set up for the gods in worship.

giving in to your desires is actually very holy. consciously choosing which desires you want to give into requires more discipline than any religious practice.
#in this household we worship human feeling and desire#sex is so holy. fully submersing myself in my sensations is sacred as hell#no one can make me believe otherwise#; words generated by me

Welcoming Hestia
12/25/23
All today, since 4am, I have been thinking about my path in Hellenic Polytheism. I have been feeling I'm in between chapters of where I am in it. I've always appreciated Hestia from afar and worshipped her almost quietly and in smaller pieces until lately she's been on my mind constantly. Today I have decided from much pondering and tarot cards that I'm ready to stick my hands into the metaphorical waterfall and take the plunge into starting to work with her more officially. I probably feel more determined and or specific about her than I ever have. I don't know why I feel shy or scared of it, I'm not scared of her. I find her very comforting. But something makes me hesitate with doing what I guess would be called devotion instead of my typical working with to any deity. I haven't felt this serious of an interest in a while if at all.
there's several things I would like to start doing in devotion to her or feelings that I have that she's pulling me towards. The New Year is coming and I feel welcomed by Hestia and I welcome her into my household. For now I will be switching a lot of my research to Hestia and Household worship along with doing the 15 Days Of Deity Devotion with her. Hello Hestia

#I’ll go first:#I was raised in a Catholic household#identified as atheist from age 16 to 25#converted to Hellenic Paganism at 26#(I’m 30 now lol)#I have a hypothesis that there’s more ex Catholic pagans than there are ex Protestant pagans#because there’s clear similarities between saint-worship and polytheism#but we’ll see what results we get eh?

I will be posting more in depth about “Hellenic Polytheism: Household Worship” once I am further into the book but one line in the preface stood out to me. I wanted to share it with those in the community who (like me) haven’t read this book yet:
“Despite the beauty of the polymorphous polytheistic landscape, there is a lurking problem that many people tend to disregard. Hellenic religion is still the religion of indigenous Greek people and any attachment from its culture and environment will probably lead to new directions that their little resemblance to what the name implies. However, as the history from the Hellenistic. Onward has illustrated, Helen ism is neither an exclusive religion, nor are our gods exclusive to the people who worship them. As such, we believe that a bridge should be built between how our religion evolves in modern Greece and how it is perceived and expressed abroad. This bridge will not only offer valuable insight, but may possibly lead to each party gaining what they might currently be lacking simultaneously offering roots to Greece and the means to freedom of expression.”
- Hellenic Polytheism: Household Worship (LABRYS, 2014)
More to come later - but I feel like everyone in the community needs to read this passage 🕯️

all this reminds me of eddie izzard pretty downright explicitly stating in her autobiography that she wanted to pursue acting because her mother dying when she was 6 and being sent to british boarding school traumatized her and made her desperate to feel loved. she referred to the praise one gets for performing as a "surrogate affection machine" and thats why before she did acting she did comedy and before she did comedy she did street performing. literally anything to climb the ladder
#and i have heard that to her peers shes not exactly known to be friendly#but like i dont blame someone whos been openly trans since the 80's#on male dominated comedy circuits#for developing a thick and perhaps unfriendly skin#but at the same time it goes with the same territory of that desire for fame#making one be like.... not an ordinary person in both good and bad ways#like im sorry all the big time celebs people worship. i do not trust them to be nice or have good politics#like the ones that are beyond household names. the truly like top .001% of fame#shit i even started side eyeing ben c when he started taking too many luxury watch sponsorships#but like at the same time eddie and ben c can probably walk down the street and not get stopped#bc thats kinda more the vibe in the uk#i have actually seen eddie walk down the street unbothered WITH MY OWN TWO EYES#multiple times! i was the only one who stopped her ! lmfao

there's something unnatural about river's voice. the smooth tone, the way it flows much like her name, calm and confident enough to make any message, no matter how foreboding, comforting. even now, in the dark, humid labyrinth that they find themselves in, every sound a suggestion of new and unknown threats, the sound of her instruction is one that takes a little of the rigidity from her muscles. it soothes the jagged pulse of adrenaline that heightens every nerve until the sound of a bee roars like a pack of lions in her head.
would you just stand there for a second? don't move.
there it is again. firm but soft, comforting, soothing the words that, in any other mouth, could be enough to surge the adrenaline and cortisol into an untameable beast that sparks stupid actions. instead, aisling feels a quiet trust in her. faith that @carbondated will save them. she stays perfectly still, without moving a muscle, a small relief easing her into a statuesque position that, if glanced at, might suggest she's little more than a wax figure from a remarkably talented art studio.

" what is it? " she hears herself say, and if not for their surroundings, you'd swear they were just strolling through the park, and river had happened to spot a particularly curious flower amidst the grass. if only they were so lucky. so ordinary.
#carbondated#( ' a soul for a soul... ' / reply. )#( listen this is a 'worship river song' household ONLY-- )#( she tells us the sky is purple and we'll paint it to make it so! )

i wont lie sometimes its a little crazy to see people shove bardroy aside to assign sebastian the role of Dad™ cuz as much as i like dadbastian (with seb being just terrible and weird in the role lmao) i think its strange to put bardroy into the 'weird uncle' role
on top of it being a very nuclear family set up (with ppl assigning mei rin the role of mom/aunt and snake being someones child along with bards role for some reason??) its just kind of forgetting that like,,, he's the only one aside from tanaka who ACTUALLY has experience raising children and was actually a father
#also i hold dadbard looking out for finny very near and dear to my heart#like thats probably the most normal mentor/mentee relationship in that household#i would say soma and agni hold that spot too but bard wont sit there worshipping finny so#they definitely are more normal#basically when i see people ignore the fact that finny literally sleeps#in the same room as bard and stays behind with him and mei#just to say that sebs the only 'father figure' in finnys life#i see red a tiny bit#like sebastian doesn even have the complicated feelings of love and grief#from looking at this young blond kid that bard can get all the time!#let him look out for and be a father figure in finnys life!#hes more than a weird uncle!#(also i havent fully seen the flashbacks yet but wasnt he hired#to be like the most normal person in that household? weird uncle does NOT fit him)#anyways i just took a shower and im off my adhd meds good morning yall#sorry if im all over the place today lmao#headcanons#bardroy#black butler#dadbard#dadbastian#for the ppl who mute that#devo speaks
