a prayer to Hestia from a lost child:

Hestia, goddess of the hearth, help me find a place where i can be safely myself, guide me home to sleep safely each night under your protection.

Hestia, goddess of family, protect the people i love, the family i chose for myself and the ones that are mine by blood, the people to whom i belong.

Hestia, goddess of civilization, teach me to build myself a place in a community, to work for others and to help.

My Lady, guide me on your path, help me be a safe place, a hearth and a home to others and a hearth and a home for myself. May the home fire in my spirit never go out.
