Loving yourself, nurturing yourself and taking care of yourself, is one of the greatest offerings you can offer to the deities. They all want to see you happy, healthy and cherished.

to sing, o! to sing to worshipful hestia! to  rejoice, o! to rejoice before she who lays the  banquet, who stokes the ever luminous fire so  that the home where i rest my head is wrapped in soft protection. kind lady of the hearth, i sing to thee — kind lady of the home, i worship thee. i pray to you to create a place within this wild world that is safe for me, where i may lay my  weary head, and eat without knowing hunger.  bless my home, o luminous goddess, with your  protective hands that knows the wills and ways of the fire — keep its rage banked so that i  may rest in the plentifulness of its blessing.

It’s much easier to wash your dishes if you re-imagine the task as worship to Hestia.

Goddess Hestia: Home Blessing

Lady Hestia, goddess of home, family, and shelter,

I ask for your blessing upon this home.

Watch over and protect those who live here.

May love and devotion, which burn so brightly in your heart,

blaze in our hearts as well.

I honor you first and last, Great Hestia,

goddess of sanctuary.

Be welcome in our home for all time.

Prayer to Hestia when blessing a home.

I was surprised when Hestia called to me, & I worried I would let her down. I'm not good at homemaking. I'm not good at belonging. My parents never taught me about care, safety, and rest. They didn't know how to nourish & tend to themselves, much less their children

I told her that. I told her that I struggle to cook, that I forget to eat. That I'm often too tired or too sick to clean. That I don't remember how to feel at home in my body & in this world. I told her that I couldn't do it, though I desperately wanted to

But she told me that every step on the journey home is sacred to her—however faltering, fearful or imperfect those steps may be. She said she reached out to me because of my commitment to start where I am, use what I have, and do what I can

So long as we are trying to nurture ourselves & our loved ones, we have already made Hestia proud 🏠 She loves trauma survivors, watches over our recovery every day, & blesses us on the long and difficult road home

Much love everyone ❤︎ there's space by the fire for all of us

I give many thanks to Hestia, for continually supporting me and my community. I pray you accept this offering, I praise thee, Lady Hestia.

Be the kind of person Zeus wants you to be: sexy and charitable.

I want time to be quiet. I want a week where there’s nothing expected of me. I want some light snowfall. I want a home I can rearrange the furniture with every season. To bring friends over to be warmed by the fireplace. I want to paint the walls. I want to curl into you until I feel my hurt fall asleep. I want to pluck rosemary from the windowsill. I want to feel comfort again. I want so much space in my heart for the light to fill.
