The Greek goddess of the hearth and home was Hestia. She was formerly one of the twelve Olympians until she stepped down and gave Dionysus her throne so she could tend to Olympus's hearth. Her Roman name was Vesta.

What are Hestia's supernatural powers?

In Greek mythology, Hestia is the virgin Goddess of the hearth (and hearth fire) and home, and thus the Goddess of the family and domesticity. She is a veiled, modest and passive deity who didn't roam or have adventures since the hearth is immovable. She had the power to make the wine sweet, the food tasty and the home an abode of contentment. She was the giver of all domestic happiness, protection and blessings. She presided over all sacrifices made in the home at the hearth. She also presided over the public hearth which in every town was a place of sanctuary. When a new colony was formed the colonists took fire from that public hearth to their new home.
