A Hearth Goddess Charm 

To invoke the benevolence of the hearth Goddesses and invite these deities into your home, try this candle charm. Even if you don’t have a fireplace, you can still re-create a miniature hearth. Find a safe, flat surface to set up on and make your own magickal hearth area. Feel free to work this charm at any time throughout the year: at sunrise, the full moon, a new crscent moon,or at one of the major Sabbats. When you light this candle and say these words, you are calling in the Goddesses to protect and watch over you. Basically you are welcoming these ladies into your life. See what sort of stability, warmth, and enchantment they bring to your days.
 
Gather these supplies:
 
One red pillar candle
A candleholder or small plate
Nine white, small, smooth stones
A pinch of salt
A lighter or matches
 
Arrange the nine white stones around a red pillar candle and its holder. Dust the stones with a pinch of salt to consecrate them. Take a moment to visualize your miniature hearth. See it glowing with warmth, magick and hospitality. Light the candle and repeat the following charm three times:
 
Goddesses of the home and the sacred hearth flame.
Brigid, Hestia and Vesta, I call your names.
A candle for fire, a ring of stones becomes your hearth,
Bless us with warmth and security from this Witch’s art.
 
Close the spell:
 
By all the powers of the earth and fire.
This spell is sealed by my will and desire.
 
Allow the candle to burn for a few hours. When you are finished, snuff out the candle and relight it whenever you feel the need to reconnect to the Goddesses of the heart and home.
