So I've gotten back into my craft and I've meditated and studied and I have felt a draw to Hestia as a deity I have for a while there were no signs like random fires or anything just a draw the more I dove into myth the more I felt compelled to start working with her and she has helped me not just in my craft but domestically the food I make tastes better and when I clean its more thorough if you have any resources on her or experience working with her and could give me advice it would be much appreciated

Basic safety/responsibility tips for new witches ✨
-Always maintain adequate ventilation & precautions for anything burning: candles, incense, cooking, etc. Do not leave flames unattended.
-Make sure your herbs/aromatics are pet AND human safe. Check for allergies & read up on ASPCA guidelines.
-Read up on cultural appropriation in witchcraft. Smudging, hoodoo & voodoo, Kabbalah, etc are closed culture. Respect practices that aren’t yours to take.
-Pseudoscience is not magic. Magic is about empowerment, not coercion. Crystals will not heal your anxiety any more than a good book. Cure-alls don’t exist, and anyone selling them is a scammer, not your friend.
-Wicca is Not the only option for witchcraft, & was designed to be inherently transphobic, racist and antisemitic. Try to explore other witchy communities to see what feels best for you.
-You will make mistakes. That is okay. Be willing to learn and ready to accept the consequences.

Green Witchery and Where to Start
i often see beginners starting out their path to green/garden witchcraft buying tons of books (that mostly all recycle the same few facts) and copious herbs (most of which will go to waste)
and while research is great and i know you’re excited to try out spells you see on tiktok or what have you, you should start out more locally, get to know the earth and its spirits around you
i live in what is quickly becoming a rare ecosystem due to forest fires, overdevelopment, and invasive species, and because of this i spend as much time as i can meditating out in the quickly depleting forests learning all i can from them and for them
are there any endangered species in your area? is there anything you can do to help? is there anything you should avoid in your practice to prevent further damage to your local ecosystem?
these are the things you should be researching as you start out, these are the things that will connect you to the plants you intend to use, not buying yet another book that will tell you for the tenth time that lemons are cleansing

small list of beginner & indoor herbs for baby green witches
hiii here's a list of some of the plants i started with that newbies might need for starting their indoor garden.
lemon balm. plant or buy it in the fall and dry it out so you'll have it all year.
basil. perfect for indoors.
green onion. when you buy them from the store, place the base in a mason jar of water and change the water daily. they'll grow like crazy i promise.
mint. it's one of the best indoor plants and works best in containers anyway.
rosemary. you can buy it in pots and that shit is near impossible to kill.
thyme. super easy to grow and wonderful for magic.
