Consult her when building a house, remodeling, or apartment hunting. She offers protection in the home and the family unit.

Vesta is a central figure in the Roman pantheon of Gods and Goddesses. Families would honor Vesta each day with a hearth offering, which is considered deeply sacred to her. The offering was to bring continueing prosperity to the household, helping to create the perpetually renewing bonds of home, which creates a family and home.
