Hestia - Blog Posts
Ok, so I know it's not my usual fair, but I just got my Hestia statue for my Altar, and I'm really really happy 😁 she actually came in, I think, a little earlier than expected, which is great 👍
For reference, this is what my Altar now looks like!
So, the statue is pretty obvious, it's definitely the only statue there so far, and it's in praise of Hestia, goddess of the Hearth. Also for Hestia is the big ass painting(made by one of my absolute best friends in the world who is unfortunately not on this app but made it for my birthday 'cause she's awesome like that!!!), and then a couple of basily, minty smells for the wax melter. I also have a more official altar for Hestia that sits on the mantle piece; it's a little mini forest candleholder thing that I made a while ago with a candle that really just reminds me of Her.
The car is for Hermes, god of Messengers and Thieves. It's mainly there because He helps me a lot when I'm driving, and it felt fitting, but there's also a sticker with the number 4 on it(his sacred number) and four flowers that seemed like his vibe. There's also a strawberry because it's one of his sacred foods, but low-key I always forget that, even though I'm constantly eating strawberries 😂 He has some wax scents, but not too many, just because there weren't that many that spoke to me for him.
Right now, all I have for Apollo is a sun sticker with seven crows(both his sacred number and his sacred bird. Fun fact about that, when I was looking for stickers to decorate the altar with, there were exactly seven crows, and I think that's pretty cool), a few scents(mainly summery fresh ones, right now I have a honeysuckle scent that just really spoke to me.), and a ring I got from my grandmother that isn't shown.
I do have a few items such as the ring holder, the smaller painting (made by the same girl who did the big one), and the heart that just seemed to fit. I don't directly pray to any deities that find those items symbolic, but it couldn't hurt to keep them handy, right?
Anyways, I have a bracelet for Hermes coming in the mail that's supposed to come soon, so maybe I'll post that, too. Have a good day!

Some fresh concept sketches hot out the brain.
Here we got Hestia (fem Vulkan) as her evolved form a true Salamander. Though I didn't use any salamanders for the design. She's definitely going to be one of the more feral and beast like ones.
One fun thing I thought of, was the grimdark irony of the primarch most associated with hugs and physical touch being covered in spikes. Also, her saliva is pure magma that her rough scales carry to her mouth
Hestia is the ancient Greek goddess of home and hearth🔥 and here are some simple offerings for her:
• Olive oil 🫒 A traditional ancient Greek offering for protection, peace, and nourishment.
• Honey 🍯 Represents sweetness and the warmth of the hearth.
• Bread 🍞 Freshly baked or simple loaves as a symbol of sustenance.
• Wine 🍷 A small libation of red or white wine, symbolizing celebration and hospitality.
• Candles 🕯️ To honour her as the goddess of the hearth flame.
• Flowers 💐 Fresh flowers or faux flowers for simplicity and calm.
• Cooked meals 🍲 A portion of home-cooked food, especially soups or stews, as a gesture of hospitality.
• Incense 🪔 Frankincense, myrrh, copal, or sandalwood for purification and devotion.
• Simple tea 🫖 Herbal teas like chamomile or peppermint, representing warmth and welcome.
• Homemade crafts 🧶 Knitted or sewn items, representing the domestic arts.
• Grains 🌾 Barley, oats, or rice, offered raw or as part of a meal.
• Clay or pottery 🏺Small handmade items symbolizing the home and stability.
• Clean, well-kept spaces 🧹 Tidying and maintaining a clean altar or hearth area in her honour.
• Warm drinks ☕️ Coffee or hot chocolate, especially during colder months, symbolizing warmth and comfort.
Gracious Hestia,
gentle-hearted one,
soul of the home,
I am grateful for her comfort 🤍🕯️

Well you're in luck because I'm fully up to share the pattern! Below is the chart I used and its dimensions
78 tall x 77 wide
A couple specifications:
I made it using a 1.5mm hook and crochet thread but I probably would've gotten a better result with a 1mm hook instead
I HIGHLY reccomend using stitchfiddle, it's free and easy to use (which is why I share the dimensions) plus if you want to make any edits you can do that there too
I based the pattern off of the Pinterest post linked below which is also very beautiful
Go forth and crochet! If you end up using this pattern PLEASE show me, I'd love to see it!!!
Finally finished this filet crochet project of the goddess Hestia!
I'm insanely proud of it and it's currently being blocked
Done with a 1.5mm hook, pen for scale below:

Sorry, but I'm new to Hellenic polytheism. I wanted to learn how to worship the Greek gods. Like what to put on their altars and things. Specifically, the Gods/Goddesses I worship are Artemis, Hestia, and Ares.
Pjo but Hestia has her own cabin and unclaimed kids go there because she’s the goddess of the house and home. So 1: the Hermes cabin isn’t so crowded and 2: so they can get claimed faster if all the unclaimed kids are in one area.
happy pride month guys. im still stuck with exams

This is why…
All right, let’s break his down @netflix. I’ve worked it all out and I want to present it to you because I REALLY think it’s worth it. You NEED to turn Percy Jackson into a TV Series.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians
Five books = FIVE SEASONS
The Lightning Thief = 22 chapters
The Sea of Monsters = 20 chapters
The Titan’s Curse = 20 chapters
The Battle of the Labyrinth = 20 chapters
The Last Olympian = 23 chapters
This makes a total of 105 chapters. Chapters = episodes. 105 EPISODES!!!!
!!!!!THEN!!!!!
If you continue on to the Heroes of Olympus series you get:
The Lost Hero = 56 chapters
The Son of Neptune = 52 chapters
The Mark of Athena = 52 chapters
The House of Hades = 78 chapters
The Blood of Olympus = 58 chapters
This makes a total of 296 chapters. That means AT LEAST another 296 EPISODES!!!!
If each chapter feasibly fits into only one episode that makes a grand total of 401 EPISODES!!!!!
This does not take into account the Trials of Apollo. Plus the 14 short stories that, more than likely, take place between the books.
For the love of the Gods, I beg you, please make this a reality!
