Hail to you, revered daughter of Kronos Hestia, most honored among gods, who lives in the heart of every home And whose grace and fortune is begged by all Happy mistress of great virtue, who blesses us with health and heart and plenty Whose veiled face we find in all fires of the house And whose sweet voice comes to us like bells in the wind You who are the pillar of gods and mankind alike You for whom there is no end to your duty and generosity Hear me as your servant who loves you Who seeks to honor you in the keeping of my house And in giving offerings to you, honey and incense and all things you delight in Bless me and my house and keep watch over it Dwell too in the heart of my home and give to me your inspiration That I might live by your virtue and with your gifts And accept your purification in the place of my devotion and in myself Recieve well the offerings I make to you Accept them and my faithfulness to you and to your kin in the great house you tend Hear me well and always and find my words with love That I may serve you honorably for your benevolence

Kitchen & Mealtime Prayers to Hestia

Prayer for Kitchen Tools* Hestia, bless these tools that they may guide me in making food that is good for the mind, body, and soul.

Prayer for the Stove

I pray you bless the warmth and food made here. Though the flame be a mere representation of your hearth light, your presence is felt here. May you accept the sweet scents and rising vapors as an offering, Beloved Hestia, and may you bless the stove that feeds us.

Prayers Before Eating** (can use just one for short or all together for a longer prayer)

I set a place at my table for the gods, and invite you, glorious Hestia, to join us. My home and heart are open to you. As we eat, may we feel nourished by your love.

From farm to table, this meal was the work of many hands, may gratitude reach them all. Hestia, we offer you a share. May you accept this gift and may you grant blessings upon our hearth.

Beloved Hestia may you watch over us and bless us as we eat. Bless this food, this bounty of Earth, we thank you.

Prayer For Cleaning Up*** (light a candle when using)

Hestia, bless this little kitchen. I love its every nook. And bless me as I do my work, wash pots and pans, and cook. May the soap cleanse our dishes so we may start anew, as we honor you again with every meal and brew.

[wayfind-er]

O' divine One, Lady Hestia; Kind, daughter of Great Mother, Rhea; Goddess of the Home herself.

Lady Hestia—who protects our homes from the cold, who resides in the four corners of every house, who reigns over communal feasts and family blessings, over the hearth and the flames: please grace us with your everlasting warmth during this holiday season.

May your presence bring comfort to this home. May you bless us with peaceful family meals and abundant warmth and love for ourselves, our family, and each other.

O' divine One, Lady Hestia; Please join us at our dinner table during our grand meal so we may feel your warmth again. We kindly thank you for all of your blessings.

Lady Hestia

Please bless me with the motivation and strength to clean my house today.

[persphones-hallow]

Virgin goddess Hestia, she whose power extends over altars and hearths. Veiled, soft oil dripping from your hair, I praise you to be ever dwelling and graceful, held with respect with the first and last offerings and prayers I thank you for the blessings you give. For without you mortals hold no banquet, favorable, and kind I hope you hear my prayer and invocation. Kind and ruling like your parents: Lord Kronos, King of the Titanes and the god of time, and your mother Lady Rheia mother of the gods and generation. Grace my presence with your ever lasting sacrificial fire and your warm energy.

[hypnotastic-zephyr]

Goodnight prayer to Lady Hestia

Lady Hestia,

Beloved queen of the hearth and home,

Mother of the family and the warmth and domicile peace,

I humbly ask for you to grant my parents and myself for a peaceful sleep,

Bless me with the love for my home and my family,

Bringer of peace and belonging in safe spaces,

May your flame remain ever-lit.

Prayer to Hestia for hard times

This prayer was written by me, and is part of a series of prayers to recite when going through rough times. Everyone is going through the ringer right now, given the state of everything, so hopefully this can help you get through some tough things too. Enjoy!

Praise be to Hestia, holy virgin goddess of the hearthfire,

Receiver of offerings, the first and the last, 

Great goddess with warmth in her heart,

I call to you in my time of need!

Holy Hestia who presides over the home and state,

I ask that you intercede in my life to bring comfort and blessings,

For in my time of need I know that you, the gentlest of goddesses,

Will offer me the help I so desperately need.

It is your voice which soothes all hurts like a loving grandmother’s,

Your warmth which sinks deep into our bones to heal all wounds,

Your guidance which helps us see the best path for ourselves and loved ones;

You, O Hestia, are entrusted with tending the sacrificial flame

Through which all Olympians receive offerings,

And so too do I put my trust in your,

Giving you my heart and all its struggles, fully believing that you will see it through

And guide me to a better life. 

Hail Hestia, daughter of richly-haired Rhea, goddess of good counsel,

The warmest and kindest of all the Olympians.

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
