Fire Hospitality Blessing
The Vestalia was the Festival held in ancient Rome, beginning each year on June 7th, in honor of the Goddess Vesta. Add of the home and all things domestic, Vesta is associated with hearth fires and hospitality. In her honor, you can use fire today to bless the dwelling for all who enter it.
Do this working at sundown, sitting by a window on the west side of your home.
You'll need:
A white candle
A fireproof bowl or dish
Light the candle, and place it in the bowl.
Hold up the bowl to the window, so you can see the candle flame and the setting Sun.
Say:
Fire warm us, fire guide us, fire light our way
Happy home, happy hearth, hospitality is here to stay
Stay by the window until the sun has set, and extinguish the candle.
