Hestia

Unfortunately this site hasn’t been updated in a while, so I don’t know if the blogger is still active…but for any followers of the Greek gods, looking for contemporary prayers, I recommed taking a look!

…and if you don’t follow the Greek gods, the author also has a blog for the Gaulish and Heathen gods as well.

Happy reading!

Gracious Hestia, gentle-hearted one, soul of the home,
I call to you. In times of old, dear goddess,
all first offerings were yours, so great was your might,
so great your import, so great the need for your blessing.
Noble daughter of Kronos and broad-bosomed Rhea,
honored sister of thundering Zeus, eternal maid
who sits at the center, all honor I offer you.
I thank you for the solid walls I dwell within,
I thank you for the warm and welcoming hearth,
I thank you for the bread I break with friends and kin.
Hestia, constant tender of Olympos’ bright flame,
friend of those who keep and kindle their own hearthfire,
I thank you for making my home a sanctuary
of comfort and peace, of security and strength.
