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?
