hestia devotee

i feel like lady hestia enjoys just being around. in the most simple sense. drinking your morning coffee or tea, she's there enjoy it with you. being bored at work, she's there sitting next to you filling you with ideas what can you do when back home. making a quick dish after work, she's there loving all the smells. laying in your bed and looking at the ceiling, she's looking at the same ceiling. she's there, always. and i think this is what makes her so important. she's always there, no matter how small or big the occasion, she's there, with you. her presence is not grand and full of intense emotions, its simple and stable. she's like the air that surrounds us, we know it's there even if we cannot see it, grab it, it's there.

May the Theoi surround you with comfort and warmth in times of hopelessness and dismal loneliness. May they always remain a friend in your corner, a gentle rhythm to your heartbeat, a surge of confidence, a bout of contagious laughter, a boundless curiosity, a passionate anger, pure joy in all its countless shapes and forms. May they embrace you in the dark and dance with you in the light.

May you never suffer, or celebrate, in the cruelty of solitude ever again.

Hestia, Goddess of the Hearth and the Home

Hestia is more than just fire.

She is in the warmth of freshly-dried clothes, the joy of a child picking paint for their room. The scent of your favorite cleaner and the theme song of your favorite show. You feel her in the familiar creaking of floorboards, the inattentive habit of taking the turn that brings you home. She is the Hearth, and the Hearth is a thing we create in the mundane patterns of our choices and the efficient routines we create over time.

I worship her by noticing these habits in their infancy and attending to them with intention. I devote myself to appreciating their ease and familiarity. I practice my faith by remembering, consciously, the thousands of small kindnesses I have surrounded myself with.

Hestia, who is Home… we create each other.

her presence is so strong those days, the cold outside means more warm inside

you can find lady hestia in your favourite blanket, covering you. she is that special moment when you can feel the fabric become a little more heavy, holding you a little tighter, being warmer.
