Sisters of Olympus
Offering candles to the sisters of Olympus:
Hestia: Goddess of the hearth, the home, and hospitality
Hera: Goddess of marriage, loyalty, and union
Demeter: Goddess of agriculture, fertility, and the harvest
Hestia's colors were crafted in shades of sandstone and pumpkin with drips of apricot. They represent the tame fires within a hearth, and the presiding, gentle spirit of the home. She bears the representation as the kindest of all the Olympian spirits and is said to be modest, humble, but exceptionally powerful for protection.
Demeter's colors range from a light brown to gold, with drips of olive and forest green shades. These represent her duty to the earth in agriculture, specifically more so in grains, barley, and wheat.
Hera's colors range from heather gray and periwinkle, with drips of bronze and gold, signifying her royalty as Queen of the Gods. In pre-Hellenic cultures, Hera was initially worshipped as a Lady of the Beasts, a goddess of abundance and fertility, which is fitting as she is a divine entity of power, strength, and appetite.
Because these candles drip so easily, it's the perfect time to practice some candle divination, also known as Carromancy. Watch how the candle burns. Do you see figures in the wax? Do the flames flicker, grow tall, or hiss? Is there a certain direction in the way the wax is melting? These ritual candles may hold more secrets than you know.
