How to start worshipping Hestia [Iris version]

Start a ritual focused on your morning coffee or tea.

Watch your comfort movie.

Spend more time taking care of your hair. Be gentle and use products you usually save up.

Invite your friend for a cafe hopping date. Write a little review, doodle the beverages and treats you got.

Start a reading journal or make a page dedicated to a book in your usual notebook.

Rearrange, redecorate and reorganise your house. Make the all-familiar space look new.

Sew something small [or learn how to sew].

Work/study while listening to your favourite soundtrack.

Start a scrapbook or make a new page.

Bake your loved one's favourite treat and then give it to them as a surprise.

Learn how to make Latte art.

Light a candle when making and eating dinner.

Make a "baking ideas" list.

Create a moodboard for your dream house.

Host a tea party.

Look for a pen pal.

Create a coffee/tea station.

Do a deep clean of your house. And I mean DEEP. Every little place. Make the smallest cravis of your space feel seen.

Dedicate an evening for cozy gaming.

Draw [or print out a drawing] of Hestia, and frame it on your kitchen wall.

Make bookmarks for your favourite book, or the one you're reading now.

Start a cookbook or add a new recipe.

Collect little magazines, advertisements, and other ephemera for a junk journal.

Invite your friends for a craft night.

Make your own tea mix.

Make a list of small everyday moments that brought you joy that day. Then make a checklist for the next day, so you will look for those pockets of joy more.

Try a completely new hairstyle.

Make a To Be Read list for the next month.

Embroider a piece of clothing you don't wear anymore.

Meditate.

I’ve been hyperfixated on Proto-Indo-European lately so it was very exciting for me to learn that Hestia likely gets her name from the PIE root *wes meaning to burn, which in turn may come from *h₂wes meaning to dwell, live, reside, stay, spend the night. While it's generally agreed that Hestia and Vesta are deities unique to Mediterranean Europe, this is possible evidence for hearth cult reverence dating back to the Neolithic period. It's theorized that early forms of temples were places with central hearths. Hestia is typically viewed as a goddess over the hearth of the home and family, but this connects her to being a symbol of society and community as well.

It's beautiful to think that Hestia has been with us since the dawn of humanity. I wonder if there was a root or origin somewhere in a Proto-World language that's been lost to us.

Greek Goddess Hestia Statue Head Unearthed in Turkey

Archaeologists in western Turkey have uncovered a marble head believed to represent Hestia, the Greek goddess of the hearth, offering rare insight into ancient religious life and civic identity in the Hellenistic world.

The sculpture was found at the ancient Greek city of Metropolis (Greek: Μητρόπολις), located in İzmir’s Torbalı district. Researchers say the finely carved head once belonged to a monumental statue dating back more than 2,000 years. If confirmed as Hestia, the discovery would mark one of the most significant representations of the goddess ever found in Anatolia.
