I have heard good things about Facing the Gods but have yet to read it myself. Putting that on my list. Have you read Hillman's Mythic Figures? He has a great chapter on Hestia in that volume.
I haven’t read Mythic Figures. Putting it on my list! The chapter in Facing the Gods is by Barbara Kirksey and is titled, “Hestia: A Background of Psychological Focusing.” I’ve realized that this post is a few months old, but if you have need of Hestia material sooner than later, let me know and I can get the chapter to you.
Thank you for the offer. I'm planning to buy it in my next used book purchase. It's been recommended to me a few times, this is the push I need to get it in hand!
