Hearth

At the center of the home, the hearth provides warmth and LIGHT, food and protection. Symbolizes love, fertility and life. Related to ANDROGYNE, with the masculine fire and the feminine receptacle. Hospitality and sanctuary go along with feelings of protection. Carries with it omens; any anomaly in kindling or burning predicts a simliar event to members of the house.
