Hymn to Hestia

Hestia, blessed flame who dwells at the heart, Äídios, Eternal, keeper of the sacred spark. You are the first to be called, the last to remain, Unmoving one, in you all things sustain.

Voulaia, wise one, mistress of council and law, Whose calm breath steadies both kingdom and hearth. You guide every vow with invisible thread, In your silence, the voice of right reason is read.

Khlöómorphos, Verdant, in stillness you bloom, Life stirs in the warmth of your gentle perfume. Grain rises and ripens by your quiet grace, You hold spring and autumn in one sacred place.

O Daughter of Kronos, O flame without end, You who dwell where peace and holiness blend. Accept this prayer, this reverent song, And dwell in my home, a presence lifelong.

With incense I honor your ever-bright name, May your blessings descend as a gentle flame.

Thank You Dear Apollo,

Lord of Sunshine and Divine Composer

For another day within Your gaze

For another day within Your light

You guide my every step

You cradle my every word

You encircle me with music

And wrap my soul in song

You keep me healthy when You can

And comfort me in sickness when You cannot

Oh my ever present Lord

Thank You for Your blessings

Thank You for Your lessons

Thank You for Your kindness

Thank You, thank You, thank You

🙏🏻

Hail Hestia Prytaneia

Hestia, you who keep watch over democracy, the right of all citizens to have a voice, defend those who journey to your fire. Allow all to come to your warm embrace. Oh maiden, keeper of life, only you can preserve the sanctity of life across all nations. Hail Prytaneia! As I am preserved, so too shall I honour you by the fire of my heart. My love of community shall guide me.

Hail To The Blessed Gods!

From quick-witted Hermes with his fast feet,

To wise Athena and her infallible spear,

Far-seeing Apollo with his knack for prophecy,

Far-shooting Artemis and her impeccable aim,

Jolly Dionysus with his ever-charming smile,

Lovely Aphrodite with her sweet face,

Passionate Ares and his fearsome gaze,

Hardworking Hephaestus and his trusty hammer,

Bountiful Demeter and her fruitful gardens,

Mighty Poseidon with his earth-shaking hands,

Warm Hestia with her tender touch,

Brilliant Queen Hera and her faithful heart,

Noble King Zeus with his lightning stricken eyes.

I praise thee, Blessed Immortals!

May the skies echo with songs of your glory! 💛

Here you go:

Delicate Adonis is dying, In the arms of Beauty crying, For is there one who would not weep, Whelmed in miseries so deep?

Gored, derided, cursed, defiled, She beheld her tender love by Fates reviled While, where her tears bloodied, Grew a flower on soil sullied.

Oh Kythereia, Lady of Sorrows, Arrow-struck heart of a thousand woes, How can the human heart refrain From partaking in your pain?

Aphrodite, we ask to you, To lament with you, what should we do? "Strike yourselves and tear your garments! Beat your breasts! Maidens, feel the anguish in your chests!"

Let us share with you this pain, For Adonis, unfairly slain. Make us feel as you have felt; Make our souls to glow and melt

Let us mingle tears with you, Mourning Him, but loving him with you.

when I say I have goosebumps on my entire body it's not an exaggeration. Whooo my gods, that is hauntingly beautiful.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful creation. If I may, I would love to incorporate this into my Adonia festival 🥺

Invocation/Hymn to Hestia

Come, O Hestia, of the sacrificial flame.

I sing your praises and revere your name.

Watch over these rites and my home the same,

as both are part of your domain.

I honor you goddess, blessed, divine.

Come from your hearth and make a home in mine.

Hymn to Mars 4

O Great is my Lord Mars, And wholly deserving of our praise Beautiful in majesty and in glory Wonderful in power and justice. Listen, all nations on the Earth Sing praises to Mars, the Swift, the Mighty. It is he protects all those who call upon him. It is he who answers my call. The call of the one who cries out in the darkness. Where fallible men may fail me,  it is the Lord Mars who is Swift in aid. It is he who bolsters of those who cry out against injustice It is he who strengthens those who yell out in despair. Even if my mind may falter,  Let me sing your praises forevermore.
