I think there's hope for me.
I love you, Lady Hestia, thank you for keeping me safe and warm. I don't always know how to take care of myself, but you carry me when I can't keep myself up.

Sweet warm inviting, Hestia,
Please give me the strength and will to not only do the laundry but to fold it and put it away. 🙏🏻
1/30 Days of Devotion To Hestia
Day 1 - Basic Introduction
Hestia (Ἑστια - meaning Hearth) is the Greek goddess of the hearth, home, and family. She had few actual temples but instead presided over hearths in all homes, altars, and the cities. Prayers and sacrifices started and ended with Hestia which is a reoccurring pattern in her worship, such as honoring the first/last bites of a meal.
I have always appreciated her for years and recently I've decided to start incorporating her more officially in my life and I'm very excited to do so. I want to start focusing on household worship and I thought a Days of Devotion to Hestia would be a great way to really get me started.

Do you know any sources for learning about about worship of Iris and Hestia in Ancient Greece?
Thanks.
For works specialized on Hestia, I'd start with these two works below. One is a master's thesis, the other is an article:
The Study of the Concept of the Sacred Hearth and Greek Goddess of the Hearth and their Association with the Prytaneion, its Origins and its Development by Esra Çayir
Hestia Hearth, Goddess, and Cult by Mika Kajava
You can also take a look at the first section of this other Master's thesis but it is more focused on the comparative analysis of the ancient cult of Hestia and the modern Olympic Flame. And if you haven't already, don't forget to look for smaller sections about her in more general books on ancient cults (eg. Ancient Greek Cults A Guide by Jennifer Larson has a page on Hestia). It might not be very useful if you're looking for specialized studies, but it can help if you've just started researching her.
Iris is a more complex case since, as far as I know, we don't have any actual cultic evidence for her outside of literature and her link to Hera. There is this Master's thesis. However, I can't tell you much about it since I never had access to it in full. The table of content doesn't indicate anything about cult either. I would advise to probably take the angle of researching Hera in the hopes to find mentions of Iris as her messenger and retinue, but I'm also afraid that even then, we'd come back to a lack of material when it comes to actual cult.

On this solstice we honor the Theoi who rule the sun and fire
Hail to Helios and Apollo. The former who personifies the sun itself, drives his chariot everyday to ensure the continuation of its cycle, and captures the nourishing aspect of the sun. The latter who shines the light on what must be done in our lives so that we may move forward with courage and wisdom and inspires us to own our truth.
Hail to Hestia for the keeping the fire of the hearths intact that we may take care of hearths (metaphorical and literal) in our physical homes and the hearths that we carry in our hearts
Hail to Hephaestus, Prometheus and Apollo for the creative fire that inspires us to create and innovate our lives so that we see how much we can achieve with our own hands and the fire in our hearts
Hail to Hekate as Torchbearer who inspires us to be the guiding light in the lives of those who need it the most and for some ignites the spark of one’s witch fire.
Hail Theoi!
May Hestia be with all in those in quarantine and self-isolation.
May she bring comfort and peace to your homes, and warmth into your hearts and souls.
May she lay her gentle hands atop yours as you do what you must to stay happy and healthy in your home.
May she guide you and help you, in the satisfying chores and the necessary ones.
May she stand beside those trapped with people who make them unwell.
May she sooth your worries and protect you from harm.
May she be with you, and help your house feel like a home.
May Hestia be with you in whatever way you need.
