Hestia is a Goddess central to civilization because she represented the center of the home, the community, the town, the city. No meal could be eaten without her, for she was the very fire that transformed the ingredients into nourishment.
For us women, the essence of Hestia is invoked by simply lighting a fire in our hearts and reminding ourselves of the importance of self-love as our nourishment.
Now is the time to come home and let Hestia guide our way. She is the sacred fire that burns within us; she is that feeling of being complete in ourselves and trusting our intuition. It represents the connection with the inner center and also with the others. It is an expression of Being.
