Hermes (male) and Hestia (female) are an archetypal duality. The round fireplace symbolised Hestia and the pillar symbolised Hermes in the old Greece. A union between Hermes and Hestia was not possible, there was a duality,

a splitting off or a differentiation between male and female, logos and Eros, active and susceptible. The archetype Hestia has lost admiration of the people, she is even almost forgotten. Her sacred fires were not kept and she is

not honoured anymore for her values. Forgetting the female values of Hestia a woman will lose her inner side as a refuge where she can find sense and peace and she will lose the family as a source of warmth and security.

She is losing the fundamental connection to others, and also the need of an in common spiritual connection between all citizens of a town, country or the whole world.

Hermes was the Mercurius, as the elementary fire, the source of the mystic knowledge, localized in the middle of the earth. Hestia is the archetypal representation of the soul and Mercurius of the spirit. Hermes is the spirit who

set the soul into fire, like the wind blowing over the smouldering charcoal in the middle of the fireplace. Thoughts can elicit deep feelings and words can make aware of what was until then just vague.

Activating Hestia is possible when you focus your attention on just one thing while doing the household. A daily habit of this ritual will give you an inner sense of oneness and concentration, an inner source of peace and enlightenment. Some women will discover Hestia in periods of involuntary loneliness, starting with a loss, much grief and a longing to the company of other people. After some time some women make a virtue of necessity and

are beginning to feel pleasant in their new discovered Hestia-life and find themselves.

As a child the young Hestia is easy, obeying and not stubborn. The child can do what other people say, but she can also play alone, totally satisfied. You will note a calm independency. When she is hurt or anxious she can also

find comfort in the loneliness instead of going to her mother. You maybe can feel an old wise woman in the little girl.

Hestia‘s father was Kronos and her mother was Rhea. Kronos devoured Hestia at first of her siblings and vomited out as the last one. She remained longer that her sisters in the darkness of her father‘s intestines and was therefore

a long time on her own. Kronos was dominant and a tyrant. He had no warm feelings for his children. Rhea was helpless and depressive. She just fought for her children after the last was born.

A woman with such a childhood often does withdraw herself during their childhood. She felt as alienated from her siblings as from her parents. She is different, tries not to be noticed, is passive and is convicted she is different

than other people. She wants to be left alone and not be connected to any happening whatsoever. She does not develop a persona.

In a good family she will be stimulated by her parents to overcome her shyness and she will develop a social useful persona, a way to be nice and pleasant in contacts.

As an adolescent Hestia can choose to stay out of social contacts, love life and changing friendships. Study and work will not have her priority, she is not ambitious enough. She will have a typical job for women, as a secretary

or a model. Sexuality is not very important, although she can be in fire when starting making love.

As the only Olympic goddess she wasn‘t portrayed in a human person. She had no persona. She was never involved with romantic intrigues or conflicts, so she could not learn to survive conflicts or relationships.

Hestia can be overstressed when she thinks her efforts are useless and will have no results. She will show only indirectly, by caring for others, that she loves them. The pleasant feeling of being alone can turn into loneliness.

Her love is impersonal and at a distance because she never says or touches someone in a loving way. It seems to be that her love is not especially for the people she loves. She has to learn to express her feelings.

The undervaluation can have negative consequences for her self-respect. She can have the feeling she is maladjusted and failing.

The difficulties arise when Hestia is finding her way into the world, out of her safe house or temple. When she doesn‘t develop other aspects in her personality she won't cope with the higher pace of life and the competition.

Persona means in the Jungian psychology the mask of social adaptation to the world. When the persona is functioning well a man or woman can choose the role fitting the situation, the personality, the position and the age.

How we behave, what we say, the way we connect with others and our identification is our persona. Hestia will need to develop a persona and being more assertively. The male characteristics, the animus, can help her in

handling the world. Hermes or Mercurius can help her.

When Hestia can´t be herself with her intuition she experiences threatening situations (Apollo and his science), that will damage her spiritual experience, her sense of oneness. When threatened by oceanic emotions or thoughts

out of the unconsciousness (Poseidon) she can become depressed. The fire is extinct by the water of Poseidon. Dreams about an inundation flooding over her can be a symptom, seen in the proving of T. cordata. She will retreat

to search her oneness with intuitive concentration on her spiritual centre.
