Today we\u2019re going to look at the Gems of the Goddess Hestia.\u00a0 Hestia can teach us very important lessons about bringing our fire and our warmth into the world.<\/p>\n
Hestia is the Greek Goddess of the Hearth Fire, which means she ruled over all domestic issues.\u00a0 Her name means \u201cthe essence\u201d.\u00a0 She\u2019s the Goddess of Architecture, Hospitality and Ordinary People.\u00a0 She managed to stay about the fray of quarreling and politics and gave all \u201cunconditional love\u201d.<\/p>\n
One of the ways you can work with Hestia is to be able to see into the heart and soul of someone to provide unconditional love and caring.\u00a0 You can be generous and kind to everyone you meet, regardless of their baggage.\u00a0 You are only responsible for how you interact with them.<\/p>\n
These virtues define the goddess Hestia: mild, gentle, forgiving, peaceful, serene, dignified, calm, secure, stable, welcoming, and, above all else, well-centered.<\/p>\n
Hestia grew up with grace and beauty and was pursued by both Apollo and Posidian.\u00a0 Hestia decided she didn\u2019t want to be married so she swore on Zeus\u2019 brow that she wouldn\u2019t marry.\u00a0 She was content to live her life alone because she could follow a path that was her nature and her choosing.<\/p>\n
Zeus was so grateful that Hestia averted a war between her two rival suitors; he made her the manager of Mount Olympus.\u00a0 She would stay home, never leaving Mount Olympus.\u00a0 Hestia was there to greet those returning \u2013 their \u201cHomecoming\u201d.<\/p>\n
Hestia makes it so women can be who they are on their own.\u00a0 A partner is not needed to be whole, even though this can be what many people feel completes them.\u00a0 There is nothing wrong with having a partner but Hestia is also saying you can be your own best partner.\u00a0\u00a0 Many women who are alone and never marry are thought to be an \u201cold maid\u201d.\u00a0 However, Hestia says you can be a beautiful woman, no matter what is your marital status.\u00a0 Hestia says reach in and find how you can be nurturing to others but most importantly, how you can be nurturing to yourself.<\/p>\n
The circle symbolized Hestia as the “complete” goddess, the goddess who was already\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 whole because she could \u201ccomplete within herself.\u201d\u00a0 Hestia was seen as the center, representing herself as being centered and also the home, family, the area and the world.<\/p>\n
The living flame of Hestia was tended to constantly and never allowed to die out.\u00a0 The flame represented all of life\u2019s energy.\u00a0 If the flame was allowed to die out, it would create a cold existence.\u00a0 There would be a lost of prosperity and warmth if the flame was extinguished.\u00a0 When new areas were developed, Hestia\u2019s fire was carried from the main area\u2019s hearth to light the fire of the new community.\u00a0 This assured prosperity and fertility for the land, the inhabitants and all others of the world.<\/p>\n
So is Hestia telling you to believe in your own internal flame?\u00a0 It is literal but think about it as lighting your own flame so you can light others.\u00a0 Your interactions with others can either light or extinguish their flame.\u00a0 Be careful of your interactions with others.<\/p>\n
Hestia reminds us to be the keeper of our own flame.\u00a0 We have to make sure it doesn\u2019t go out because our flame is what drives us to move forward and create our destiny.\u00a0 Obviously, working with the fire element can create a connection with Hestia.\u00a0 Burn a special candle to light the fire within or for someone else. Most importantly, make sure your own fire doesn\u2019t extinguish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
