According to mythology, Hestia was the eldest daughter of the Titans Cronus and Rhea. But when Cronus devoured his children, she was the first to be swallowed—and thus the last to be spat out when Zeus forced him to turn back.

Hestia is the beginning and the end—the cyclical principle, the eternal circle. She is always there, but never in the foreground.

Although Hestia was one of the twelve Olympian gods, she later voluntarily gave up her place to Dionysus to avoid conflict. She remained at the hearth of the gods, withdrawing from the drama of the Olympic stage.

Peacemaker, silent force, the center that does not rule but connects.

Unlike other Olympian goddesses (such as Hera, Aphrodite, or Artemis), Hestia is completely free of scandal, intrigue, or violence. She appears not as a fighter, but as a protector—a guardian of harmony, not of power.

Maturity, stillness, integrity – the gentle fire that does not burn but warms. “I rule not by storm and splendor, but by the quiet light that never goes out.”
