Up: [[Hestia]] Created: 2022-07-04 Many Greek restaurants use Hestia as part of their name because she is the definition of hospitality. Wonder Woman has a weapon called the Golden Lasso that radiates a magic aura, the Fires of Hestia, compelling those caught within it to be truthful. (Occult-world.com) In Xenia and Hercules tv series, her likeness appears in the Cave of Hestia, and there’s a religious group called Hestia’s Virgins. In Percy Jackson’s [The Last Olympian](https://riordan.fandom.com/wiki/The_Last_Olympian) she has these lines: - “I am here because when all else fails, when all the other mighty gods have gone off to war, I am all that’s left. Home. Hearth. I am the last Olympian.” - ”Sometimes the hardest power to master is the power of yielding…I keep the peace. I yield when necessary.” She smells of wood smoke and toasted marshmallows. And never wears makeup. Her food, says Percy Jackson, *is the kind of home-cooked meal people are supposed to have but never do.*
