the flame of home

hey there! you may call me leo (he/they), and i'm a (i'd say still new) pagan this blog is intended as my diary for it, as well as a devotional to the goddess i follow, which is hestia!

well, i guess i should make a more proper introduction of myself!

while not the name i usually use in most online spaces, here you may call me leo! i use he/they pronouns, i'd rather keep my age a secret for privacy reasons, and i'm latino

i'm a pretty new pagan, around three months or so, and as of now, i mainly worship hestia. this blog is separate from my main one, as my primary account is a fandom blog and i felt weird having them both in the same account?

(and also, i'd be so embarassed if i reblogged something intended for this place into the fandom one and the other way around, so the easiest thing to do was just make another account)

so, yeah, i think that's it! i mostly intend to use this place as both a diary and a place to reblog things related to lady hestia, but i hope you stick around :D

The fireplace burns bright and hot,

The warm touch of a loved one,

Tender moments cannot be taught,

Cuddling as the day is done;

Cooking good food to fill your belly,

Kindness to a stranger,

Good memories come for free,

Safe from all known danger;

The lady of fire rules over this all,

Hestia of hearth and home,

May you heed the loveliest call,

May your heart yet roam.

Her clothes are covered in floured fingerprints, she welcomes with wine and a warm bed

The fire is crackling, its glow a soft halo over her head

do you ever mess up cooking something so bad that you feel the gods looking at you for it?

a bit ago, i tried to make rice and it turned out burnt to the point of being unedible. i had my candle for hestia lighted, and when i looked at the candle i got the feeling of laughter that wasnt my own, but not in a mocking way? it was more of a "well, at least it was an attempt!" kind of laugh

the "laugh" did feel very much like hestia's presence, i'd like to add
