devotional moodboard for Hestia, goddess of the hearth

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.

💕Help me furnish my apartment!💕

I moved into a my first solo apartment a few months ago and am thrilled, but also broke! The lion's share of my money is going to pay for the apartment itself and not leaving me much extra to furnish it with. So, I thought I would put up a donations post for any kind souls who felt like helping me out.

I have a bunch of smaller items ($50 and under) that I'm collecting on my Amazon wishlist. I also currently still need a bunch of bigger items including:

Table

Bathroom linens

Bed frame

Bookshelf

Couch

Curtains

Bed canopy

Rug

Donate at paypal: @oliviavarney1 venmo: @OVarney and link/qr code under the cut. Thank you! 😘😘

I was inspired by @asklepiad-apollon's post about Greek alphabet divination and decided to make myself some runes. The originals were usually written on ostraka so I went for a pottery-inspired design.

#Tried a prototype with sculpey but they got those glassy patches that oven bake always gets and I didn't like it or want to sand all of them #so redid them with terracotta which I've never worked with before but really liked #currently about halfway thru painting these #hellenic polytheism #helpol #runes #witchcraft

Mini Statue Resources

I've spent a lot of time looking for miniature statues of the gods to use in my travel altars, and in my search learned that mini statues-- especially anything under 3"-- are very hard to find. A lot of people have also seemed interested in the Hestia mini I have, and asked where I got her. So I thought I would share some resources I've found for very small statues and advice for finding them yourself. I hope they'll be helpful!

Sellers I've Found

3DvoPrinting (etsy)

They have a nice selection of 3D of prints of classical sculptures, including a lot of less "popular" statues. They come between 3-5" tall, priced around $12-18. I just put in an order for a custom size (1.5-2") of the Hermes and Asclepius figures, and they offer custom larger sizes as well.

3DorisArt (etsy)

They have a large collection of prints, but my interest was in the 4" line, which range from $17 to $28. I contacted them about getting smaller prints of these and they said that was doable. I haven't ordered from them yet but hope to get a custom size Dionysus soon.

MurphicIndustries (etsy)

This is where I got my mini Hestia! They have this whole set available, and also sell figures individually. They come in 32mm, 48mm, 54mm and individual figures start at $4-5.

twogreenthumbs.com

They sell mini garden supplies, and have a section with mini garden decor, including a lot of classical statues (I think these would probably have a spike under the base that you'd need to remove). Most of them are between 2.5 and 3.5" tall and $7-8 each. They also have a lot of mini pedestals and urns as well.

Edensart (etsy)

They sell dollhouse minis, including 1:12 scale prints of marble statues, including some classical ones. They're extremely small and so lower detail, and run around $6.60

BigManSmallWorld (etsy)

They specialize in very fancy and detailed art pieces for dollhouses, and their minis are already painted and decorated. Most of their mini statues are $30+

Advice for finding stuff on your own:

Although there are a lot of resources out there for finding smaller statues, I've found getting anything under 5" very difficult and under 3" almost impossible. For 3D prints if you can't find something in the size you want, I'd suggest finding one you like in a similar size and asking about getting it printed smaller for you.

I've had the most luck looking for mini-garden, dollhouse, and gaming miniatures. Searching by height is generally useless, but including scale can be helpful.

A lot of places have the statues misnamed (the Hermes statue I ordered, for example, is listed as Apollo) or aren't identified at all, so looking for generic terms like "marble statue" "god" "goddess" "classical" etc can be helpful if the right name isn't bringing anything up.

There are also a lot of Etsy sellers that specialize in dollhouse minis that have one or 2 little statues (esp. the more popular ones like Apollo Belvidere, Venus de Milo etc.) I've only included ones here that have a decent selection of them, but there are certainly options for little statues on Etsy beyond what I've shared.

The only statue of Aphrodite/Venus anyone wants to make replicas of is the Venus de Milo, so good luck to you if you're looking for literally any other representation they are on in a million. (I've included 3 here so...)

There are also some old school gaming minis that are Greek myth-themed, such as Foundry's series, but old school minis tend to be overall much more expensive, less detailed, and generally less aesthetically pleasing.

Hello, I’m making a series of phone shrines/backgrounds for the Theoi. Feel free to use.

Starting with Hestia! this looks ok on my computer but really bright on my phone, so feel free to fiddle around in an editing app if you need to (it was enough to turn down the saturation a tiny bit for me)

EDIT i added a more subdued version, i know they’re almost the same *shrug?* just in case the first one is too “in your face” for you guys too
