I alw...I really didn't think much about Hestia. I always felt she was more popular with women. But reading your comment has made me reconsider that. Both I and my wife are equally homebodies. And some of the things I'm most concerned about (and often lackadaisical about) is household safety, cleanliness, health, finances, food, and order. Also, concern for our two dogs and five cats. So maybe I do need to pay some respect to Hestia.<br /><br />And speaking of home safety, I's like to recount an anecdote here.<br /><br />Last winter I had made a prayer and offering to the masculine manifestation of the Sun via a buried apple core at the foot of a big pine tree in our back yard. Also, at the foot of this tree is a big fairy statue that we had been given as a wedding gift. I've also made many prayers and offerings to the spirits/denizens of our yard. <br /><br />This past summer our back yard was hit by what was either a serious micro-cell or an actual touch-and-go tornado. And it knocked down two large trees, including the pine tree beneath which I made the offering. Both trees were tossed back and forth by the winds, with their branches touching the ground at the end of either arc. The eventually did fall, but did so AWAY from the house, even though the house was lower than the trees. The roots had also been torn up along with the tree. And in the midst of the tree was the fairy statue---untouched. My wife never cared for the statue. But now she says we're never getting rid of it.Bill Bittnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05579039419982926534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-375624765999419875.post-67412079679958918642011-02-14T18:23:35.623-08:002011-02-14T18:23:35.623-08:00I love your alter.

Thanks for asking, and if there is anything you need from me, let me know. I can go into more detail about the items in the altar kit and where I got them if anyone is interested. <br /><br />PanIdaho<br /><br />http://panidahosgrove.blogspot.com/Panidahohttp://panidahosgrove.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-375624765999419875.post-52754015012012330592010-05-08T22:47:04.114-07:002010-05-08T22:47:04.114-07:00This is a very inspiring altar!
