84. To Hestia
Incense: Aromatic Herbs
Queen Hestia, daughter of mighty Kronos,
Mistress of ever burning and peerless fire, you dwell in the house center.
May you hallow the initiates of these rites and grant them unwithering youth,
Riches, prudence and purity.
You are the home of the blessed gods and men’s mighty buttress,
Eternal, many-shaped, beloved and grass-yellow.
Smile, O blessed one, and kindly accept these offerings,
Wafting upon us prosperity and gentle-handed health.
