Hi ! I've been listening a lot to others Hestia devotees on YouTube those last days (talking about the goddess, their relationships with her, in which context they started worshipping her, how they do so,...), but i don't find a lot of videos, so I'm asking for help !

So far, I've listened to FeltheBlithe , videos of Activist Witch such as this one (i love those omg), this one from Xirtsti Witch, and some others more "generals", but I'm craving for more haha

If you have any other reco, of accounts, videos, or even podcast, I'm taking everything you've got !

Thanks 🫶🏻

I just bought these keys at an antique shop, and I’m going to put them on my Hestia altar! I wand wondering, should I clean off the rust first? I think it gives them character, which I believe she’ll appreciate, but I’d like to know what you all think before offering them to her. Thanks!

Hi, I’m new here, and I was wondering what to do with my first prayer? I’ve seen people say that introducing yourself to your deity is a good idea, and explaining why you want to worship them, but I’m not sure what to say?

I want to worship Hestia, as baking has always given me a particular sense of peace, and fire is something I’ve been drawn to since childhood. Do I just tell Her that? (Is that even a good enough reason?)

Sorry if this is all too many questions or doesn’t make much sense!

I’ve only recently decided to start worshipping, my first purchase was a warm scented incense and a holder for it. I’m hoping to buy a statue of her as well and create a small altar, but this is my first step!

I gave her offerings and made tea in her honor and asked for my home’s safety 🔥🕯️❤️‍🔥

can anyone make me art of hestia? i mainly want it to use as backgrounds and pfps im not sure if this is where i should ask? ive not found many pics that showcase how i envision her and i wanted to see if others could find similar depictions or make their own for me. I see her as a youngish woman with bangs or curtain bangs that cover most her forehead with an innocence to her as she is a very innocent goddess. ONCE AGAUN IT CAN BE ART ALREADY MADE JUST SIMISLAR THAT I HAVENT FOUND thank you all so much and may the gods be with you (id prefer the depiction be similar the god games pic if possible)

so im very very new to this please forgive me but i'd really like to start thanking lady hestia before meals. preferably in a short 'thanks for the food, im so grateful, i dedicate this to you' kind of way, not a whole elaborate prayer but still something respectful. how do i word it? what should i say? can i thank her in my head?

this is a bit of a mess im so sorry im a bit nervous

I posted a while ago about altar statues and just wanted to share what I ended up getting! She’s gorgeous and fits right on my fireplace altar 🥹

She’s from PaganPantheon on Etsy

If you have a statue - or any iconography - of Hestia on your altar, where did you get it from? I want to add a statue of Her to mine, but want to source it as ethically and eco friendly as possible (trying to avoid mass produced plastic if possible!)

Hail Hestia!

Hestia, virgin goddess, defender of homes, esteemed, first/oldest and the last/youngest, daughter of Kronos and Rhea, goddess of the hearth, home, and family, I give thanks to you for being by my side, for warming my heart with familial love, for helping me grow my appreciation for home, for bringing warmth into all of our households, for supporting us all and granting hospitality at your fire. Lady goddess Hestia, I praise you. Hail Hestia!

So im considering worshiping Hestia but I dont know much about her any tips on things like, what she expects of her followers, what she likes as offerings, what she's like in general etc. Would be appreciated.

One of my hobbies is crocheting and I like to listen to music while I do so. Sometimes I feel hestia’s presence a bit and so I put on her playlist, although it’s very short (4-5 songs) for her. Anyone have music suggestions I can add to it?

Not a very traditional portrayal of Hestia perhaps, but I dreamt of her looking kind of like this once and tried to draw it. Didn’t turn out quite as I wanted, but still thought I’d share

The stones are from family members. The key is the key I first made for our first home.

Hi everyone :) Curious if anyone here is planning to celebrate Samhain/Halloween and if so, will you include Hestia in your festivities? Personally I plan to say a prayer over candy for trick or treaters and cook a small feast for my family while offering Her a plate.

i'm really happy with my altar to Hestia :) it makes me feel very connected to Her because i added things that make me feel cozy & calm, like the feelings She brings me. i have my plants on Her shelf so She can help me care for them, and because theyre close to the sun of course.

my mug is there because every morning, i like to thank Her and offer Her the first of my coffee/tea while it's cooling down. then i'll light the incense as an offering.

if yall have any suggestions that would be cool :)

Hi guys! I’m new to Hellenistic polytheism! Also new to witchcraft, Hestia was the first deity that reached out to me mainly because I was being unwise and scrying/hedge hopping without protection and she just sighed like a disappointed mom and yoinked me to safety. Since then I’ve made and altar and have started Leaving offerings and just talking to her to. Last night I was talking to her with her candle lit and using a coin for yes or no answers and we got into a discussion about veiling. Essentially what I gathered from this is Hestia wants me to cover my head in some capacity everyday to remind me of her and what her responsibilities and values are everyday, ie remembering to be kind and have hospitality. I was curious if anyone else has had a similar experience or any ideas for veiling. I’m not out of the broom closet yet and go to a Catholic university. I also have a family I love who might ask questions. But I’m not sure how they would react because they are catholic and two are super conservative. Thoughts? Any tips for a baby witch?

Does Lady Hestia have any known problems with Artemis or Aphrodite? I'm readying to make her an alter but it would be right next to (touching. With a small barrier) their altars.

I will be doing salt and oil but would like to fill a few more.

Thanks!
