I have a question about a surname and how it might (or not) relate |
|
to this forum.
Does the surname "Vestal" mean anything in Ancient Wisdom? Would a person with this name possibly feel an ancient tie to paganism?

1. Vesta was the Roman goddess of the hearth. Vestals (e.g. vestal virgins) |
|
were those who served her by keeping the fire going.
That any help?
