It is really important to remember that buying a pet from a pet store is NOT rescuing it; it’s purchasing. You’re putting money into the pockets of the shady breeders and pet stores that give them business. You’re opening space for another animal. You’re creating more demand, which creates more supply and leads to more shady breeding. Pet stores don’t care what your motives are. If you bought the animal, that’s money in their pocket. I know it’s hard, but don’t buy the sick reptile. A market for “rescuing” sick reptiles from pet stores is still a market for buying more sick reptiles from mill breeders.

A historical prayer to Hestia

I’ve been reading Greek Hymns: The Texts in Translation by William Furleely and Jan Bremer and came across a very lovely prayer to Hestia, written by one Aristonoos from Corinth during the 4th century BCE:

Holy Queen of Sanctity, we hymn you, Hestia, whose abiding realm is Olympus and the middle point of earth and the Delphic laurel tree! You dance around Apollo’s towering temple rejoicing both in the tripod’s mantic voices and when Apollo sounds the seven strings of his golden phorminx and, with you, sings the praises of the feasting gods. We salute you, daughter of Kronos and Rhea, who alone brings firelight to the sacred altars of the gods; Hestia, reward our prayer, grant wealth obtained in honesty; then we shall always dance around your glistening throne.

Glorious Hestia,

Hearth-keeper of the world. 

Tender of the weary souls, she who lightens the burdens of others.

Fill my heart with your light,

so I may lift others as you do.

Radiant Hestia,

One of home. One of love.

Guide me as I spread your kindness.

As I spread your gentleness.

As I spread your hope. 

Beautiful Hestia,

Guide my hands as I do by you. 

Guide my heart as I love by you. 

Guide my soul as I live by you.

Magic is a female virtue, you delusional prick.

Magic is a major part of the traditions my ancestors have been practicing for generations. Disrespect my heritage with your warped, corrupted, agenda again and I will personally see to it that it is the last move you make.

The Gods frown upon you.
