In general, libations are part of the sacrifice (usually before the food sacrifice) so they come before the prayer. The libation can be enjoyed by those participating as well, yes. The first and last sacrifice to Hestia is not a hard rule, but one many, many Hellenes do hold themselves to. If it's not mentioned in the book, it is most likely part of the group's practice not to partake in a final sacrifice to Hestia; personally I always include it and Elaion as an organisation encourages it as well.Elani Temperancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05611003885755154591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382184804747180588.post-85557988810832718032014-12-11T22:26:51.074-08:002014-12-11T22:26:51.074-08:00I have it and it is very good.

...I have it and it is very good. A few things tho..<br />Is the offering/sacrifice immediately BEFORE one gives the prayer, and does the libation come AFTER the prayer? As well does one partake of the libation?<br /><br />I also noticed that there is no final libation to Hestia. Is the first and last not a hard and fast rule then?Pendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13542267763871559834noreply@blogger.com
