Goddesses and Gods.wps - Welcome to Our Temple

fine whether you stay together or move apart. But you'll be left without a reason to
suffer, without all those annoying habits of his to contend with - and without all
those totally unsatisfactory conversations to hold. And then, where will you be?
I say this so confidently because psychologists know that whenever the spirit of Hera
gets a grip on a woman, she can think of nothing else but her relationship - regardless
of how long it's been going on. You'll notice, if you read the other goddess
interpretations in this feature, that they all have a little section dedicated to single
readers. You won't find one here because nobody under Hera's influence ever is is
single. Even the ones who 'look like they are' are yearning to be with one person so
badly that they're practically having the relationship already or hanging on so tight to
their last partner that it might as well not be over.
It's not healthy but the good news is it's not going to last. You're not going to let it,
no matter how long it's been going on. Nor, once you do grow out of this phase, are
you ever going to be daft enough to get yourself into a quite such an emotional, needy
pickle again. You don't even have to wait till Hera's influence diminishes. Instead,
you simply need to summon another goddess to your aid. Read, please, the pieces
here today about Athena and Artemis. Decide which one you can most relate to and
determine to take a leaf out of her book. If you really can't find the courage, emulate
Hestia. But don't assume there's any mileage to be had in becoming more like
Demeter or, worse, Persephone. They're not your key to success. Even Aphrodite isn't
your key. You do need to become sexier, but you'll automatically do that, the
moment you make up your mind to be much more self possessed.

Introduction:
Hestia, known to the Romans as Vesta, was the goddess of the hearth and temple.
Unlike all the other goddesses, she was traditionally never depicted in female form.
She was a 'presence', a feeling; a spirit of warmth and protection.
Though Hestia was a prominent goddess, daughter of the powerful Cronos, there are
few legends about her. She is not so much a figure of mystery as an expression of such
a simple, beautiful, essential energy that no great complex tale needs to be told to
explain it. Hestia represents purity and sincerity, sanctity and safety. Those who come
under her influence get the greatest blessing of all; a straightforward, contented life.
Though Hestia was a symbol of celibacy (her roman equivalent, Vesta, was the
goddess who governed 'vestal virgins') legend tells that both Apollo the Sun God and
Poseidon (the sea god) fell in love with her. To be influenced by Hestia certainly
doesn't guarantee a 'U Certificate' Life - but it certainly points to a desire to place
