Vesta turns Housework, or any Chore, into Worship
Vesta, Roman Goddess of Household Harmony (whose Greek name Hestia means "hearth"), is accompanied by the donkey-god Pales, a symbol of creative labor and fertility throughout the ancient world. The serpent represents Vesta's generative function, while her scepter and headdress signify her rank. Harmony will reign in your hearth and home as you meditate on this image.
[Berlin Staatliche Museum, 2nd cent. CE] Brown/gray Gypsumstone statue. #VSP
