Hestia – When A Woman’s Work is Never Done

Hestia – This Rest and Recharge Core Archetype Is Not Really Resting!

 

Hestia is the ancient Greek goddess of hearth and home. She is quiet, almost introverted. She likes things to be calm and orderly.

 

Do you have a Hestia aspect to your own personality?

 

There's a story that's made its rounds on the internet:

 

You’ve probably all read this one. I took this version directly from RNW Forum, and have no idea of who originally wrote it. (But if you know the first source, please let me know; I’ll give them full credit!)

 

I’M GOING TO BED…..Men vs Women

 

Mom and Dad were watching TV when Mom said, “I’m tired, and it’s getting late. I think I’ll go to bed”.

 

She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day’s lunches. Rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took meat out of the freezer for supper the following evening, checked the cereal box levels, filled the sugar container, put spoons and bowls on the table and started the coffee pot for brewing the next morning...

 

(The list, of course, goes on.)

 

How does this relate to your inner Hestia archetype?

 

More to the point - how does your inner Hestia serve you? Make your life easier, simpler, more under control?

Has Your High Priestess Been Shortchanged This Year? (How to Fix)

Your High Priestess and Your Empress Archetypes – Are Both Their Needs Being Met?

Introducing Julie Marie Rahm, certified YUEN Mastery Practitioner and Instructor.

 

This week’s Guest Blog by Julie Marie Rahm, the Resultant, gives us insight on how to regain our center when we’ve over-extended ourselves by nurturing and caring for others.

 

We’ve just come out of the Season of the Empress. She was our dominant energy from Samhain (October 31st) to Winter Solstice (December 21st).

 

Our Empress Archetype is all about connecting and nurturing.

 

When in our Empress mode, we’re under the sway of the powerful neurohormone oxytocin.

 

Our Empress governs the biggest feast-days and holidays of the year.

 

It’s no coincidence that our Empress time encompasses the two biggest feasting, family, human-warmth-and-connection times of the year – Thanksgiving and Christmas.

 

At the end of this time – special though it was – we need time for ourselves.

 

We need our High Priestess time.

 

Have you had sufficient time for your inner High Priestess this year?

 

Does she need a bit more?

 

Learn how to nurture your inner High Priestess, and rejuvenate your energy every single day, with this guest post from The Resultant, Julie Marie Rahm. Visit the main Unveiling blog for today: Has Your High Priestess Been Shortchanged This Year (How to Fix).

 

Yours in love and laughter - Alay'nya
