Fare thee well, Hestia

Well, Hestia is calling it quits. Because of her professional obligations she's found it necessary to discontinue her personal blog, although her professional blog will carry on. I will miss it: Hestia was the first blog I blogrolled and one of the first personal blogs I ever started reading on a daily basis. I actually went so far as to gift Hestia with a key for her scavanger hunt, which turned out to be somewhat valuable. But alas, all is indeed change, much as we would like it otherwise.

So in honor of the blog, and of Hestia (the goddess), and of course my bloggng friend Kathryn and her new blog A Mindful Life, here's the banner and prayer that so moved me:

Hail Hestia

Blessed be the Goddess of Faith
Hestia, Constant One,
Goddess of hearth and temple.
Teach me the lessons of commitment
And contentment,
Service and celebration.
Warm me within and without.
I light this candle
In fiery offering to you,
Hestia, Goddess of Fire.
