Hestia is the lady of harmony and holiness. She loves to be alone with her thoughts and finds bliss in solitude. Her quiet attribute and calm inclination leave her a conundrum to all who get in touch with her. How it becomes possible for her to live without stress? She graces a home and carries out daily routines with ease and happiness. She finds dignity in roasting the bread families will consume. No amount of feminism confab could ever make her feel menial to other females who have esteemed vocations. Her mind isn’t comfortably exploited; she was one of few beauty queens able to withstand the enchant of Aphrodite into copulation and marriage. She is at one with herself and proud of her choices. She’d prefer the ethereal life of a clergywoman before selecting conjugality or extraneous mundane solicitations. She frequently frolics in the mystical influence with contemplation, shamanism, and augury. Her interior sphere is affluent, and her fineness is extreme. She can feel the thoughts and emotions of others, which gives her great compassion but also makes her wary of public places.

What Does the Occult Care About?

ü The Occult or the Mystic cares about plainness. Provide her with a nice home base that delivers room for her to be herself, and she’ll do everything to safeguard it. She’s gentle-mannered — but don’t foray into her arcadian leeway! She requires space to be imaginative; a garden or studio is perfect.

ü She thrives in an establishment where she can accomplish all of the ménage chores alone. She never needs a housemaid.

ü She doesn’t have a potent hankering to have kids. She appreciates insulation and probably wouldn’t mind being in prison as much as an Amazon woman would.

ü She takes her time in every little thing she performs. She accomplishes one task at a time with joy and intensification in each step. No task is beneath her and time is of no consequence.

Recycling and being “earth-conscious” is important to her, but she doesn’t preach to others. She loves to be in nature and mixing herbs is a favorite pastime.

What Does the Occult Fear?

ü The Occult or the Mystic drudges to surmount her fears but isn’t perpetually triumphant. She fears not having a locus to call her own where she can be herself and escape from other people’s drama.

ü She’s alright with having someone else provide for her but she’s more or less perturbed that her capability to do what she desires relies on another person.

ü To be unable to find her habitation or sanctum would ravage her, but she comprehends she can build a lodge wherever she goes off. To the Mystic, dwelling indeed is where the affinity is.

ü Anything that deprives her secrecy and her seclusion is her antagonist.

ü She profoundly fears being crowded because she’s so perceptive; she perceives the chords of others and is stupefied in public places. She does her grocery shopping at the bewitching hour to avert congregation.

ü She abhors being in the limelight and remains as far away from conflict as possible. She doesn’t relish to see somebody else forfeit because of her. She presumes everyone should be feted for his or her endeavors.

What Motivates the Occult?

ü The aesthetic need for balance — a sense of order in life, a sense of being connected with something greater than herself — is what drives her. She has a spiritual need to connect or create. She knows she’s not alone on earth and sometimes senses the life forces around her.

ü The reward of being left alone, having free time, and obtaining security are great motivators. She’ll do anything to sustain a quiet and calm home life. She’d rather fix her faucet than call a plumber.

ü The plight of others can sometimes motivate her into action and taking up a cause. She believes everyone has their karma to bear.

How Do Other Individuals Look Upon the Occult?

ü Others look her as serene, untroubled, languid, and surely not a multitasker.

ü She has a considerable amount of patience and more often than not give attention to other person’s difficulties for hours at a time even if they’re not quick to return the favor. Some may recognize her as a `piece of cake or a naive woman, but underneath the facade is an insightful woman with prudence to share. A considerable amount goes on in the back of her eyes, but most folks don’t notice it.

ü She generally puts on clothes for natural relaxation, not to stay with trends. She prefers putting on economical clothing that represents her exclusive earthy style and frugal sense of recycling.

The Occult’s Worth:

ü Prefers to be without aid or support most of the time.

ü Likes to observe the calmness no matter the cost.

ü Values her home life and solitude.

ü Works meticulously and unhurriedly on one task at a time as if there’s more than sufficient time.

ü Is able to defy others who want to exploit her.

ü Takes active participation in psychic life.

ü May be into the occult.

ü Lives without earthly conjurations and extravagant possessions.

ü Maybe a vegetarian.

ü Is into reclaiming and conserving the earth.

ü Hardly cares if others look upon her as cranky or spacey.

The Occult’s Flaws:

ü Doesn’t know how to have fun with others.

ü Lives in isolation even if others are around.

ü Is shy and somewhat timid at times.

ü Needs to learn assertiveness.

THE CROOKED SIDE OF THE OCCULT: THE FINK

As a reprobate, the Occult is the nice old woman who sneakily venoms her spouse. She can utilize her serene befitting nature to camouflage her gloomy side so well no one would ever daresay she was fit of performing anything unacceptable. Her beaming nature can mask a grotesque lurking beneath the surface. She’s so inconspicuous, folks acquiesce she’s nothing more than a beloved, shy person who could do no wrong. When the populace apprehends that she isn’t what they anticipated, they feel profoundly crossed.
