Vesta The Goddess From Antiquity

Vesta The Goddess From Antiquity

Vesta was the virgin goddess of the hearth, home, and family in Roman mythology. Vesta’s presence was symbolized by the sacred fire that burned at her hearth and temples.
She is still the fire of the domestic hearth and overseer of the home where family and a sense of belonging reign, and from which the fruits of the earth are prepared and stored. Like the flame itself, Vesta’s unwavering warmth encompasses her influence and remains a force. The Great Goddess still comforts us by consistently sending us feelings of security, endurance, and comfort. Vesta never ceases to remind us that her flame is always near, always burning and always harboring the universal strand of life.
Should we need some comforts because of friction that may occurred in our homes then we should light a candle and while looking a the flame remember
Homer’s Hymn To Vesta:
Come, Vesta,
To live in this beautiful home.
Come with warm feelings of friendship.
Bring your intelligence,
Your energy and your passion
To join us with your goodwill.
Burn brightly at my hearth.
Burn always in my soul.
You are welcome here.
I remember you.
