a beautiful introduction to a Greek Goddess most people would have worked with. I wanted to read this to understand my Greek ancestors and a Goddess most of them would have worked with. I feel that connection grow as I learn more and this book was the perfect way to do this

This was an excellent introduction to Hestia, both in myth and modern practices. I do recommend reading the note from the author at the beginning, it gives a great explanation of the use of the word ‘godds’ within the book, and honestly, I might adopt that word into my own practice. If you decide to try the trance meditation, recording it ahead of time and listening to it with your eyes closed would be my recommendation, especially if you’re a solitary practitioner. Although I was familiar with quite a bit of the lore surrounding Hestia, I also learned some new things, and found new ways to connect with Hestia. Highly recommend for the curious, or anyone just looking for new ways to connect with Hestia that they may not have tried before!

Another great book from Pagan Portal

This book is a great start to learn about Hestia. There are modern day practices along with Hestia mythology. Connecting with Hestia is about feeling that you are home no matter where you are. If it’s literally having a conversation in the kitchen with friends or participating in community.

So to my fellow introverts community building you say might not be in alignment with your preferences. Believe me I understand. Though being in community knowing that I’m a safe harbour for others makes me smile.

To be honest i knew more about Hestia in a historical way than as a metaphysical being. This was a good way to learn more and learn some useful techniques
Well done, recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

great little book (96 pages). covers the basics of who Hestia is, how to honour her, and some basic rituals.
