Honoring Hestia

Honoring Hestia Goddess of home and hearth. She walks beside me often as I do my household chores. When I am truly mindful and want to be thorough, or when I question
how something should be done, I evoke Hestia. It's a way to bring the sacred to mundane chores.
It become's temple work.
She is always near. She helps me put that final polish on the hearth, helps me with details  I may otherwise avoid.

  1. Looking at your collage and reading your words, evoked the sacred so powerfully! What a wonderful line : she helps me with details I may otherwise avoid. Thank you for bringing Hestia to transform our mundane into the sacred today.

  6. Hi Gemma, I so appreciate this, at my time of life doing the same old chores year in year out becomes a yawn, and yet I feel the need to evoke some energy and zing to be able to feel as I did years ago. I used to be in-love with my home, seeking out interior design mags etc.

    So this post is very appropos for me!

    Thanks,

    Sue x

  8. As always you got me thinking. I usually don't enjoy housework but maybe if I change the way I think about it I might enjoy it more.
