The hearth is lit
It is warm
It is bright
And into the flame go scents
Floral and musky
For all the gods to enjoy
And as it burns
My home is filled
With the very essence of divinity
That by Hestia's grace
I have come to know
And hope you share with me
May you be blessed!

Take a moment today and thank the gods. It doesn’t matter how many you believe in or what they are called by your people. Thank them for the sky, the earth, the sea! Thank them for the moon and the sun and the system of planets we call home.
Thank them and appreciate all the things you are lucky enough to have in your lives.
Bright halls and golden pillars
The light of heaven and pure waters
That rain forth when needed
And fill the fountains that decorate your gardens
Before the palaces of the gods
Olympus, that great mountain
Olympus, well renowned
Olympus, a name shared
Shining snows in Winter time
Love and Wisdom rediating forth
From the gathering of the gods
Who guide the world
By the wise will of Zeus
Olympus, that holy place
Olympus, eternal realm
Olympus, forever etched in history
Blessed Goddess
Divine and pure
Whose light is a beacon
Blessed Goddess
Divine and pure
Whose warmth is a blessing
Blessed Goddess
Divine and pure
Whose name is holy
Blessed Goddess
Divine and pure
Whose presence is comforting
Blessed Goddess
Divine and pure
Virginal Hestia

A piece on Aphrodite and Adonis: https://ko-fi.com/post/Aphrodite-and-Adonis-L4L0L6GZN
Touch me, my love
I will reciprocate
For I wish to share Eros' gifts with you
To taste you
To feel you
To hear your moans in the darkness
As I smell your essence
Let mine please you
As Aphrodite pleased Ares
Let us climb the heights
Let us wander the path
Let us be together
Great Goddess
Bearer of torches
That light the way
On any path we choose
When the night is deep and the moon dark
Walk with us as we explore
And find our way
From what we were
To what we may be and beyond
For that is your greatest gift
Virgin Goddess of the dark moon
Be with us
As a #Pagan, I am a believer in polytheism. Not infinite polytheism, but polytheistic anyway. I see the world as an emergent property of the interaction of the divine beings we call Gods by many many names and in many many forms. Of course, that also leads me to the possibility that the Gods are actually the emergent property of the Cosmos itself, but I don't know if I see that as real or just a mental exercise.
Your holy fires warm our homes
Just as they warm our hearts
Hestia of the hearth
And in so doing give us strength
Where once there might have been weakness
Blessed daughter of Rhea, born first into the cosmos
Blessed daughter of Kronos, born last
Be with us forever, O Lady!
