fuckyeahgreekmythology:HestiaThe first born of the Olympians, Hestia is the virginal Goddess of the hearth and home. She is also the patron goddess of baking bread and the sacrificial flame. She gave up her seat amongst her siblings on Mount Olympus for Dionysus.“To Hestia, Fumigation from Aromatics. Daughter of Kronos (Cronus), venerable dame, who dwellest amidst great fire’s eternal flame; in sacred rites these ministers are thine, mystics much blessed, holy and divine. In thee the Gods have fixed their dwelling place, strong, stable basis of the mortal race. Eternal, much formed, ever florid queen, laughing and blessed, and of lovely mien; accept these rites, accord each just desire, and gentle health and needful good inspire.”Orphic Hymn 84 to Hestia (trans. Taylor) (Greek hymns C3rd B.C. to 2nd A.D.) : -- source link
