Being a Hestia Devotee and having executive dysfunction can be rough.
As part of my devotion I would like to do some spring cleaning and cleansing of the house. Sadly standing in the middle of a room and being overwhelmed is not the best method.
Are you like me?
May I point to you an app called Goblin Tools.
You put in the task you want to do and then how spicy your brain is that day.
It breaks it down into steps and if you click the magic wand is will break it down even further. This way you can follow the directions step by step without feeling overwhelmed.
As you can see in the picture above I’ve got a lot of cleaning to do this weekend :)
Hope this helps you too!

Whenever I listen to country western music stuff starts happening in my house. I hear a male voice in my bedroom harmonize with Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson sometimes. I hear a woman’s voice harmonize with Coal Miner’s Daughter (that would be my Grannie) damn near every time. Different smells permeate through the house that remind me of family members. Them letting me know that they’re always around. Sometimes I even feel a pat on top of my head.
Music is so powerful in all forms of spirituality including folk pathways, witchcraft, paganism, etc. Music can connect you with people and places when you really need them.
Just thought I would share.

Sam's Masterlist of Beginner Resources
These are some of my favorite books, podcasts, and blogs that can help you develop your spiritual practice even if you have zero previous knowledge.
