I have loved Hestia/Vesta since I was a child. I agree with Debra that Hestia/Vesta has gotten a short shift in mythology. Hestia/Vesta has a lot to teach us about being centered and following our own heart's desire, regardless of what other's think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5224471383814317075.post-14534670169260080722010-06-15T09:35:20.266-04:002010-06-15T09:35:20.266-04:00I've always thought that Hestia/Vesta gets sho...I've always thought that Hestia/Vesta gets short shrift in mythology because She doesn't get up to the hijinks that those other Gods and Goddesses do.

I've still been thinking about that Athena/Medusa link...<br />It came to me that at the temple of Sulis Minerva in Bath there is supposedly a stone carving of a gorgons head (though I've seen it and it looks a bit like a green man to me, but the experts tell me it's a gorgon so...)Minerva is usually said to be another name of Athena so maybe a great huge carving of a gorgons head in a temple dedicated to Her could be further proof for the theory that Medusa is another facet of Athena?<br />Just a thought I needed to air! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
