Question:“The hearth’s share”
The hearth’s share
Hestia received the first offering and the last. The fire of a house belongs not to the grand gods but to the one who is there every day.
Tend one everyday thing in your home. Water the plant, shake out the blanket, line up the shoes. Before you offer to the great gods, offer to the hearth.
Whatever god the Greeks sacrificed to, the first share and the last went to Hestia.
