Hey, I'd really like to see a Hestia moodboard, she was my first goddess and is the one who I have the most connection with, still it's very hard to find anything about her
I really love Hestia and much appreciate her as a goddess
Anyway, thanks for reading and for what you already have been doing, I really like your work and it's honestly beautiful
No pressure tho ;)
Wish you well!!!
Hestia
Hestia’s House Blessing
This is a spell I made that is great for when you move into a new place or just to repeat every once in a while to keep the good energy flowing in your household. It calls upon the Greek Goddess of the hearth and home, Hestia.
Best time for spell:
Monday during a new or waxing moon. This spell is best done after cleansing the area first.
You will need:
A white tea light candle
Lavender essential oil + water
A small spray bottle
A small piece of amethyst
Directions:
1. Fill the spray bottle with clean water (you can use moon water for extra power or just regular tap water is fine) and drop the amethyst in. If you amethyst is too big, you can just hold it or attach it to the spray bottle somehow.
2. Add several drops of lavender essential oil to the water until it has a light scent.
3. Walk around your house in a circle that’s clockwise to the front of the house as best you can. Start on the main floor and work your way up. While doing this, spray some of the lavender water occasionally while saying the following:
Bless this dwelling
Make it our own
And through the power of Hestia
Make this house a home
4. Once you are done, sit somewhere that your family often gathers such as the kitchen or living room and light the tea light candle. Relax wherever the candle is and let it burn out on it’s own.
I had the urge today to bake an offering for Hestia and so I made shortbread from scratch and dipped in milk chocolate! Ut turned out okay, definitely need to tweak the recipe I used but nonetheless I hope hestia likes my effort!
She loves every effort! And what a beautiful altar too! 🧡
Bedridden devotion to Hestia
A lot of you may know me and my bedridden posts from my main blog, @heatherwitch. For those of you who don’t: I’m both mentally and chronically ill and do a majority of my worship to Hestia from my bed!
Burn a candle on your nightstand, or use an electronic one!
Open your curtains and let the sunlight warm the room.
Make a potful of tea and keep it in a large thermos.
Watch movies that make you feel nostalgic and cozy.
Make a spray that smells yummy and use it when things feel a bit stale.
Set aside time to read a good book.
Knit or crochet. Craft something with your hands.
Say goodnight and good morning to her.
Get an electric blanket and feel the warmth connect you to her.
Cuddle with pets if you have them (or a stuffed animal).
Make a blog/journal filled with cozy, homely things.
Keep a few locally baked goodies nearby for when you need them.
String up fairy lights and use them as your only light source.
Whisper prayers and devotional pieces before you go to sleep.
Use a Himalayan salt lamp to connect to feeling of a fire.
Invest in little things (pillowcases, photos, curtains, etc.) that make your room feel welcoming and peaceful.
Make a little bottle filled with herbs, crystals, and other things that remind you of her, and keep it near - like a portable altar!
Listen to music that makes your soul happy and your heart content.
Take care of yourself. Brush your hair, use a wet cloth on your face. Be gentle and kind to yourself.
Flameless hearths and devotions
My other post on devotional acts for Hestia can be found [here], and my posts on bedridden witchcraft [here].
New offerings for the bowl on my altar 🧡
🕯🔥☀️🍂❤️🍂☀️🔥🕯
May Hestia keep your heart and soul warm, even in the darkest of times.
Hestia to me
She is as gentle, warm, and calming as the flames in the hearth that she represents. She is the feeling of sitting by a fire in a cozy chair wrapped in a soft blanket, drinking hot chocolate out of a favorite mug while reading a favorite book. She is the joy of dinner dates, of coffee with friends, of holiday gatherings, of shopping for new furniture, of putting clean sheets on the beds, of having fresh flowers in the vase on the dining table.
She is the feeling of coming home after a journey, of seeing loved ones after a period of absence.
She is home itself. She is the security and comfort of home, the safety of those who dwell within.
She's like the loving aunt who always remembers your favorite treats. When a homemaker rests at the end of another day of housekeeping and treats themselves, she approves.
She loves seeing our family happy together. She smiles when our household asks for her blessings.
When we leave for yet another traveling adventure, she blows us kisses and sends us off with her love. And when it's time for us to return, she is here to welcome us home.
She is an eternal fire, forever radiating warmth and ease.
She is love. The love of family. The love of home.

It's ok if you are low on energy. Embers burn bright anyway, rest and you can relight your fire with the sparks when you are ready.
My small altar to Hestia. Goddess of hearth and home!
Offerings to Hestia 🔥
Dearest Hestia of the hearth and home
May I carry your flame within as I leave my door
So I may bring the love and warmth of home with me
Wherever I travel amongst strangers
Some ideas for if I ever get round to painting an altar cloth, maybe?

Use this sigil on your altar when leaving offerings or during devotional acts to Hestia
Hestia is the relief of collapsing onto your bed at the end of a long day and she is the softness of the sheets and pillows and she is the comfort of your own scent
