Hestia is the behind the scenes person. She is balance and stability. She is the patron goddess of the home fires and the hearth, the one who keeps things comfortable for the family. She is the wise woman, the quiet knowledgeble support for all who reside under her roof. The perfect goddess for the home maker.
I hope, that focusing on Hestia, I will prepare to recieve our new home in the time that we need it. Really, this experience has made me realize how important it is to my kids to have their own space.
I created this little chant to use in my ritual:
For calm by day and rest by night
A home I seek from thee.
I ask oh Hestia
Lead us to a place of
Sanctuary.
A home of our own
And peace of mind
for happy family
And it harm none, so mote it be.
My next task will be to paint my own version of Hestia, which I will keep to hang over the entrance to my apartment when I get it. Lets see how this goes before I post it in the Godopeadia.
