The hearth is more than memory — it is alive. This pillar of Mistress of the Hearth gathers the ways tradition is carried into daily life: through books, canvases, and card collections that bring reflection into the home, and through ceremonies, rites of passage, and seasonal gatherings that mark life’s milestones. The Living Hearth is where story becomes experience, offering beauty, meaning, and belonging for both home and community.
Flames rise, meals are shared, and communities gather in its glow of the Living Hearth. The hearth is where the spirit of the home is created — through loving creations that kindle reflection in the home, and through ceremonies and gatherings that bring people together in meaning and celebration.
One strand of this work takes form in books, canvases, and card collections. From the pages of Hearth and Home, a soup recipe book woven with poetry and vivid imagery, to symbolic decks and artwork, these creations carry the warmth of the hearth into daily life.
The other strand is communal — ceremonies, rites of passage, and seasonal events that mark life’s thresholds and celebrate the cycles of time. These are spaces of belonging, open to all, where the hearth’s flame is shared rather than kept alone.
Together, these two expressions form The Living Hearth: a place where beauty and ritual, reflection and connection, are kept alive.
Tending the Flames
Hearth and Heart
A hearty soup is the embodiment of winter’s best gifts — it is cozy, filling, and the perfect antidote to winter's chill. When autumn whispers its arrival, every Hearth Keeper feels the timeless urge to lift the soup kettle and begin weaving warmth from the harvest. Making soup is more than cooking — it is an art, balancing resources, nourishment, taste, and care to create a bowl that warms the heart.
Hearth and Home is more than simply a cookbook. It is a Hearth Keeper’s guide to weaving winter soup magic, pairing simple, nourishing recipes with poetry and vivid imagery. Each page carries the meaning of home: comfort, creativity, and connection. The hearth is the heart of the home, and this book invites you to kindle its flame in your own kitchen.

Ceremonies that build a foundation for your hearth
At the hearth, we do more than gather — we cross thresholds. The Living Hearth holds ceremonies that mark life’s turning points: beginnings, endings, and the sacred in-between.
• Self-Commitment (Marry Yourself First):
Honoring the fire within, a vow to self-love and sovereignty.
• Unity (Marriage, Partnership, Chosen Family):
Two flames joining, tended together at the hearth.
• Parting (Divorce, Separation, Closure):
A fire gently banked, endings honored with dignity.
• Grief & Remembrance (Funerals, Memorials, Ancestors): Holding space for loss, memory, and the eternal ember of love.
