"To Hestia, Fumigation from Aromatics.
Daughter of Kronos, venerable dame,
who dwellest amidst great fire’s eternal flame;
in sacred rites these ministers are thine,
mystics much blessed, holy and divine.
In thee the Gods have fixed their dwelling place, strong, stable basis of the mortal race.
Eternal, much formed, ever florid queen,
laughing and blessed, and of lovely mien;
accept these rites, accord each just desire,
and gentle health and needful good inspire."
-Orphic Hymn 84 to Hestia (Greek hymns C3rd B.C. to 2nd A.D.)
