Prayer to Hestia and Hermes for Home Economy
I call to Hermes, god of the marketplace,
god of the the deal, from whose hands fall shining coins.
I call to Hestia, goddess of the home,
goddess of good management, who knows the ways of thrift.
Grant me a keen eye to spot a bargain, I pray;
grant that I know false economy from true.
Grant me the craft to repair what is broken,
grant me the sufficiency to save for what may come.
Grant me the wisdom to live with care, O gods,
the discipline and skill to live within my means;
grant me the wit to know my needs and my desires,
grant me the judgment to know the difference.
Hellenic Daily Worship (Hestia)
Lately, I had a great deal of luck with a devotion to Lord Hermes. At present, I am carrying on in St George’s name (wrote a bit about that in my blog) but am looking forward to rekindling offerings to Mercurius.
I’m very, very fond of Lord Hermes – he kind of started my introduction to polytheism initially, and then recently, He led me to Lady Hestia.
Oh, very cool. I’d like to know more – have you written to this in your blog?
I have not actually! That’s a great point. I haven’t been writing as much across Spring and Summer here in the Southern Hemisphere, but now the days are getting shorter, I’ll be spending more time inside, so hopefully will get back to blogging 🙂
I hope you do, and that it feeds your soul.
It always does – it’s very affirming to have people read and like (and comment, thank you) on what I write, but I also find writing blog posts very rewarding for me too!
