🏠Hestia Epithets🏠

Adhara's post introduction: This was supposed to be Friday's post, but I gor kind of ill and didn't managed to schedule this post, I apologize for that :( this weeks are being so crazy and overwhelming, unfortunately nobody told me that university could be so demanding of our time :(

Polýmorphos: multi-formed;

Polýolvos: rich in blessings;

Potheinotáti: beloved;

Vasíleia: queen;

Voulaia: of the council;

Prytaneia: was the designation given to the highest magistrates of many of the cities. Which could imply that Hestia could be worshipped by these magistrates (or someone akin to what magistrates were in that period);

☆ Hestia doesn't seem to have much epithets, at least through the sources I usually search about Epithets; there wasn’t much.

Adhara's random fact about the Theoi: As the goddess of the family hearth Hestia also presided over the cooking of bread and the preparation of the family meal. She was also the goddess of the sacrificial flame and received a share of every sacrifice to the gods. The cooking of the communal feast of sacrificial meat was naturally a part of her domain.

🔮Hekate Epithets 🔮

Adhara's post introduction: First post of the weeeek!! Who was excited?? I know that I was!!! Lady Hekate is here, and so are her Epithets!!

Amaimákrætos Vasíleia: the irresistible or indomitable queen;

Ærannín: the lovely one;

Dǽspina: mistress, lady of the house, queen;

Iyæmóni: she who has authority;

Kourotróphos: nurturer of children;

Vrimóh: the terrible or angry one (probably derived from the etymology: βριμάζω, roaring like a lion);

Phohsphóros: bringing or giving light;

Phýlax: guardian of the earthy regions;

Própolos: attendant and guide;

Sæmní: revered, august, holy;

Skylakítis: protectress of dogs;

Kleidoukhos: she who holds the keys.

Adhara's random fact about the Theoi: Hekate's most important cult centres were those of Eleusis and the island of Samothrake where she was worshipped as an associate-goddess of the Mysteries. Hekate also had the epithet "Nyktipolos" which could mean "Night Wandering".

While making a memory spell i forgot the stove on fire and almost burned the house

You can laugh its funny

[withmemoriesofstars]

the talent my parents have to turn every single topic of conversation into something relating to islam is insane

[avidpinklover]

Literally my mom like im talking about the effects of capitalism on society and she brings god into it

[avidpinklover]

So there is this hadith that LITERALLY states that more men have reached "completion in faith", and only like 3 or 4 women have reached that level

"Many men reached the level of perfection, but no woman reached such a level except Mary, the daughter of 'Imran and Asia, the wife of Pharaoh."

But noooo islam is not sexist at all

Ur just taking it out of context :(

And before any of u mfs tell me its a false hadith ITS LITERALLY SAHIH BUKHARI

[sag-dab-sar]

Anyone get a feeling of "wow I really love my Gods" for literally no reason. No reminders of them or anything. It just happens. Or am I just silly?

[avidpinklover]

Me when i remember lady Hestia🧡✨️

[avidpinklover]

"Nooo our religion is NOT sexist, except im gonna use these sexist verses to further prove to u that im better than u cause im a man.. but MY RELIGION IS NOT SEXIST."

"I asked chatGPT" "I asked Grok" Have you tried asking Lady Athena, Goddess of wisdom? I'm sure she'd give you a better answer than AI ever will.

Devotional acts ideas: Lady Hestia edition

ঌ Taking care of your home

ঌ Baking or cooking, even better if it's with your family or partner

ঌ Spending some time in front of your fireplace, if you have one and if you don't you can just light a candle, and relax: reading a book, watching a movie, spending time with your pet, talking with your family...

ঌ Organising a sleepover with your friends

ঌ Eating food that comfort you if you're having a bad time or even just if you need some comfort: something that reminds you of your childhood is always a good idea

ঌ Cooking or baking in order to offer some to your loved ones and surprise them with something they like

ঌ Wearing comfort clothes

ঌ Drink a hot drink such as a hot chocolate, coffee, tea... genuinely just that drink that always bring you some comfort and warmth after a long day

ঌ Reading a book and relaxing a bit, taking some time for yourself

ঌ Donating clothes

ঌ Spending time with your family (doesn't matter if it's blood family or found family)

ঌ Taking a nap during the day if you feel like your body (and/or your mind) needs it

ঌ Cooking yourself your favourite meal after a long day

ঌ Dedicating your first and last bite to her

ঌ Getting out of bed in the morning, taking a shower, brushing your teeth... just taking care of yourself

ঌ Watching shows and movies that you like: your comfort show, a movie you used to watch as a kid and that brings a lot of nostalgia...

ঌ Learning crochet or knitting

ঌ Hugging your stuffed animal (even better if it's one you had since childhood)

ঌ Donating toys to children

─────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ──────

This list will be updated

Devotional acts can be a perfect way for you to honour the gods if you can't make offerings or if you have to practice in secret (of course you can still do it in addition to typical offerings). But always remember that they don't need to be anything big and sometimes just taking a shower, getting out of bed or eating can be a devotional act if your mental health is making it difficult for you to practice. And even if you don't have the energy to practice at all, always remember that the gods understand and love you nonetheless<3
