Hestia, to you I offer the first and last, as is proper.

Gracious Hestia, I call to you. Honored first and last moments of the day, noble daughter of fierce Kronos and clever Rhea, gentle sister of thundering Zeus, Eternal maid who sites at the center, I welcome you. I thank you for the solid walls I dwell within I thank you for the warm and welcoming hearth. I thank you for your guiding hands that help me provide nourishment to the people I love.

Hestia, constant tender of the flame, eternally vigilant, eternally present.

I thank you for making my home a sanctuary of comfort and peace, of security and strength.

Defender of the household, guardian of the hearthfire, first in the holy rites, first to receive honors,

Hestia, I praise your patience and grace. Be with me today, keep me grounded, keep me kind, and bring me safely back to the hearthfire.
