Hestia, ancient one, guardian of the hearth,
bringer of light and warmth, dweller in flame.
A candle seen in a distant window,
deep red-gold embers buried in soft ash,
a welcoming fire in winter's stark cold,
in all these we feel your touch, dear Hestia.
Most honored goddess, to whom we offer
always first and last. Wise one, peaceful one,
you who lives at the center of each home,
we thank you for comfort and family,
for belonging and security.
Revered Hestia, we praise and honor you.
