10 gods & spirits
Hearth, Craft, and Home
A home is made again each day: by fire kept safely, food prepared, tools repaired, stories remembered, and thresholds watched. These figures gather around hearth, forge, weaving, harvest, and the small disciplines that turn shelter into belonging. Similar tasks do not erase cultural difference; Brigid’s flame, Agni’s sacrificial fire, Bastet’s protection, and Zao Jun’s household witness arise from separate traditions. Move through this path as through a house at dusk, from the guarded doorway to the warm center and the hands still working there.

Also gathered in
Dreaming of a house
A house in a dream is usually you — its rooms your inner life, its condition how you're tending yourself.
Dreaming of fire
Fire in dreams is passion and destruction both — what warms you and what consumes you. Its size tells you which.
Dreaming of a feast
A feast brings appetite, hospitality, display, and belonging to the same table — including the question of who is served and who is left outside.
Dreaming of a thread
A thread can join, mend, measure, record, or lead a way back — a small line whose purpose depends on what it connects.
