@@kiwi1695 I don't think deity work / worship is mandatory at all in a witchcraft practice so definitely don't feel pressured. I really wasn't looking to do deity work so it might just happen organically if it's meant to :)
I don't remember the first time I heard about Hestia, but when I did, I instantly knew I was supposed to follow her. I should probably light a candle every day...
To be honest doing a daily devotion is a bit hardcore as in, you have no room for growth left given the constant energy it takes. I'm very glad I do because she indisputably granted me something of immense value, but it's worth mentioning. In my experience it's important to always have room to grow
You had me in tears with your story about the housing issues in your country, how badly it affected your mental health, and how it framed your beautiful path with Vesta. You're a great story teller and I'm so glad I found your channel. Cheers from Colombia 💛💙❤
Thank you so much for saying this ❤️ to be honest when I get in front of the camera I always have the doubt "why should people care about this?" So hearing you say this means the world , thank you ❤️🙏🏽
@@activistwitch Oh If you're connecting with someone like me thousands of miles away from each other and from completely different cultures, you're doing many things right, believe me. Thank you for taking the time and putting yourself out there. Sharing such a personal path is treasure for many, me included 🙏
Funny you mention Bastet at the end of the video. I listened to this while I was drawing and in the middle of it I felt inspired to place my Bastet statue closer to my desktop. I also worship her for the protection of my home. Cats are very skilled at getting rid of rodents and snakes that would wander into the home, so it makes sense that the goddess depicted as a cat would protect your home from disease and harm. I also don't really receive any direct messages from my gods or spirits, but I know my love and actions for them are true. I've been watching your videos the past few days and I relate to much of what you say about not having -clairs, or maybe being very uneducated/untrained so there could be -clairs I don't recognize as such. I also need some very loud and obvious synchronicities to tell me I'm going in the right direction. Thank you so much for this video and your channel focusing on activism, I'm really proud to see content like this in the community.
Idk how I was lucky enough to come across this video. I'm a baby witch attempting to figure things out, I want to work with Hestia/Vestia. And I've been so burnt out feeling like I messed up, but this video, your story fills me with confidence. Thank you so much 💚
This is a lovely video. Thank you so much sharing your story and giving us a grand tour of your lovely shrine. I had a housing situation (in Australia) where the private landlord I had basically lost his marbles and evicted the house with only a 24 hour warning. By the will of the gods we were fortunate enough to find a new place, have the lease signed, and moved in all in UNDER the 24 hours. But it was super stressful since there were four of us living together. The place we ended up moving into was over the other side of the city, BUT it was right next to the shopping centre and one of the bigger public transport hubs in the city. So very convenient. It had a huge yard (which nowadays is hard to find). We were very, very fortunate. It was a move that then allowed me to meet my soulmate and fiancé. So I think maybe Aphrodite had a hand in the matter.
I came to know of Lady Hestia when I was going to bed and as I was falling asleep I get the thought "Hestia is Bestia" and I'm like "Yeah! Hestia is Bestia!" Suddenly I jump awake and am like "Wait!! Who's Hestia?!" So now she lives in the central point of my room ^_^ I try to honor her by trying to clean my house a bit, which is a feat for me since I constantly get overwhelmed from trying to keep house ^^;
I found this video this past Sunday, my day to honor Hestia, this was a wonderful video!! ❤ lookin forward to binging your channel🤗 love from the mountain of north eastern Tennessee!!
oh Gosh, Sunday is my day of work and divination with Her too!!! I know I must have picked because surely somewhere it must have said it's a correspondence but I can't tell you how immensely validated this made me feel, thank you so so much for taking the time to tell me! Hope you like it here and any ideas / suggestion I'm always happy to take on board! Much love from Wales to Tennessee!!!
Thank you for sharing your story, knowledge, and resources! Having a home is really so important for our wellbeing, and I'm glad she helped secure you one. Fortuna / Tyche came to me in my teens, but I didn't really start a practice and working with her in earnest until my 30s. She helped us get a rental condo almost five years ago, and then this year helped us find our dream house! I don't think I've felt greater peace living anywhere else.
I am so glad to hear things got better for you too ❤️ thank you for sharing your experience I think it very much help to hear these stories because it makes is known and possible to get better ❤️
Very nice! You have a good command of the information and a comfortable manner of sharing it. For me personally, the background music, though quite nice, is a distraction. I had a difficult time concentrating because of it. But I really liked this video. Thank you.
Thank you for letting me know I will keep it in mind for the future. Hopefully the subtitles helped to keep track of what I say and focus on that besides the music
This is such a calming video :) thank you! I've been struggling with housing and just a very uncertain future recently and this video has given me the strength to send of the first email to try to find a solution. I'm so glad I found your channel xx
I discovered vesta/hesitation through a drawing I was making and one of the trees became a veiled woman. I felt the name was vesta. I had to look up her name.
Thank you so much for your story. My husband gave me a hearth very similar to yours 3 Christmas' ago. I live at the foot of the Rockies in Colorado, USA. This little hearth has kept me so warm so many days and nights. Thank you for this video, it was wonderful. P. S. So sorry about your cat. 😥
Thank you for this video. I was looking for more information on Hestia and your work taught me a lot. (sorry for my bad English, I'm French. Besides, thank you for taking the time to put the words down because I was able to understand everything despite the fact that I haven't read or heard English for almost 10 years heheh)
Glad it was helpful! I try to subtitle every video to try and make them more accessible. If french is your first language i truly recommend the book Hestia deesse des foyers by nienna alwee
Thanks for the subtitles, it helped me understand a lot. I finished this book a few days ago and loved it! It is full of information and kindness to honor this goddess in a contemporary way. 🥰 I was very moved by your sharing, I felt all the tenderness and recognition you have for Hestia, it's magnificent to see and hear. 🥰 May Hestia protect you and your home
I love listening to you speak. Thank you so much for making this video. I dont personally do deity work but I am interested in the archetypes of the ancient gods and goddesses, and Hestia has always been one of my all time favorites ever since I first heard of her.
Thank you Em for watching and finding the time to leave a comment, I really appreciate it especially as it's a source of study rather than work so the little researcher in me is doing somersaults at the idea of having out together useful information for others 😅
Hestia came through to me last year, out of the blue, in a tarot reading and I just couldn't get her out of my mind. I'm now in a place where I can start focusing on her but I'm very new to this, I've only recently started working with Hekate and there's a LOT more material on her than there is on Hestia. I'm very happy I found this video of yours, especially as a fellow neurodivergent Italian witch :) I'm searching for a safe place to be, away from my current house, which isn't safe or good for me, so maybe that's why I found you now! Thank you for sharing your story and knowledge, stay safe and may she be with you always 🖤
I am so glad this video found you then! I know how hard it is to start on Vesta / Hestia because she's not as popular as other deities but she's definitely efficient and to the point on matters of safety and protection when it comes to a place to keep you safe so I really hope her energy can help you too at this time. I'am always around if you have any curiosity or question for my expetience with her! Sending you love my fellow neurodivergent italian witch!
Thank you for sharing your story and experience with Vesta/Hestia! I'm so sorry to hear you went through such a scary time. What a horrible housing situation! Let's hex patriarchy and capitalism indeed! But I'm glad to hear you ended up in a comfortable and safe home and that you have Vesta in your life.
Thank you for your kindness 🙏🏽 looking back it still feels scary, I realised that si c'è late November my anxiety has gone up and I realised it's because my body recognised the light, the weather, the time of the year being the same as when we got all that bad news all at once and therefore thinks because that time has cone again there's reason to be anxious again 😔 I hope in time being in this house safe and secure will rewrite those memories and allow me to enjoy autumn/winter as the favourite time of the year it used to be for me
@@activistwitch Oooh I totally get it to feel anxious when your body recognises certain things from a scary past moment. But good idea to rewrite those memories and replace them with good ones! 💜
We were issued a section 21 in 2022. It was awful with another landlord cruelly pulling out on our moving day. I count it as a blessing now, magic was definitely involved in where we ended up.
I am so glad to hear it ended up well for you too. A home truly is the cornerstone of any decent life and it breaks my heart that it seems to be a privilege rather than a right these days 😔
So nice of you to say thank you ❤️🙏🏽 glad you enjoyed it! And thanks so much for taking the time to let me know! Especially small as my channel is it really means the world ❤️
What do you think about Vesta/ Hestia being the fire at the centre of the galaxy? This is the experience I have with her, have you had a similar experience?
That's so interesting! I can't say I have come across this view before but it seems to go along with the hermetic axiom "as above so below" in the sense that things mirror each other on different levels of reality, and in that sense being the core of the galaxy would be mirrored by beinf the core of the smaller unit that is a house? Just on the top of my head at least 😅
i think the first book i read that mentions it it's Gemlore by Diane Morgan, but a quick google search will also bring up many places now mentioning it as well.
My first time to watch Ur live Enjoy. 5 yrs ago when I was trying to work out what goddess I could work with I had a dream seeing the name Olivia everywhere I went . So next morning I google the name Olivia Half way down the page was the name Hesita....That's how I knew that she was my goddess. My proper name I was born with was Dianna ( Spelt drifferent) Anyway really enjoyed Ur live Bye fr Australia 😅
