I've been taking some time to thank Lady Hestia lately. I think she goes underappreciated in a lot of online spaces.

I wish I could figure out a way to end this post, so this is my way of doing it: take some time to appreciate the lady of the hearth! She's wonderful. ♡

Guys theres no requirements in helpol.

Dionysus worshiper but never want to touch drugs/alcohol? Thats okay

Artemis worshipper but feel more male than female? Thats okay

Ares worshipper but you arent physically strong/timid in nature? Thats okay

Persephone worshipper but you dont have energy to go outside? Thats okay

Athena worshipper but you struggle with studies? Thats okay

Hermes worshipper but you dont want to gamble? Thats fine.

Aphrodite worshipper but you dislike sex/romance? Thats fine

You dont always have to follow their domains you just have to love them.

May Hermes guide those fleeing war, abuse, domestic violence, and any other horrible situation to places of safety and refuge.

May Apollo help with the healing that follows.

we have forgotten how to be good guests .

how to tread lightly on the earth as the other creatures do, how to enjoy, respect, & care for the space we are given the opportunity to inhabit .

gentleness comes not from the absence of violence, but despite the absence of it .

i will never understand why we stopped worshipping the sun .

the sun carries energy, showers the land with light, yet we stopped worshipping him . we bask in his rays daily, we pray for him to peek out from behind the clouds of a thunderstorm, yet we do not think to thank him .

let this serve as a reminder to thank the sun for what he does for us & our planet ☉
