Divining Your Life: Candle Readings with the Flame of Vesta
Divining Your Life: Candle Readings with the Flame of Vesta If reading Debra May Macleod’s historical fiction novels on the Vestals of ancient Rome inspired you to light a candle—or if you’ve always felt an instinctual reverence when looking into a flame—this unique and spirited nonfiction offering will appeal to you. Since the dawn of civilization, humankind has turned to divination—from ancient oracles to modern astrologers—to glean the answers to life’s most pressing questions, from relationships and relocating to career and success. In Divining Your Life, the author blends ancient divination practices with modern sensibilities to forge an intelligent method of candle reading, one done by the sacred flame of the goddess Vesta. In fact, Debra’s unique method is largely based on what she learned and surmised while researching her book series on the Vestal Virgins, those priestesses who tended the goddess’s eternal fire in the temple. By learning to read the flame, vapor and wax formations of a candle—and by tapping into and trusting your own intuition as you do—you can gain powerful insight into your own past and present, and find enlightenment on what path to choose to have the future you want. So whether you are hoping to find meaningful answers to life’s big questions, or you just want to have a little fun with friends, this fiery book is for you.

Release Date: 2020-10-27
It is a world of power and privilege, secrets and sacred duty. It is the world of ancient Rome. And it is the esteemed Vestal Virgins—priestesses of Vesta, goddess of the home and hearth—who protect the Eternal Flame that protects the Eternal City. Dedicated to a thirty-year vow of chaste service, Priestess Pomponia finds herself swept up in the intrigue, violence, wars, and bedroom politics of Rome’s elite—Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra, Octavian and his maneuvering wife, Livia—all the while guarding the secret affection she has in her heart. But when a charge of incestum—a broken vow of chastity—is made against the Vestal order, the ultimate punishment looms: death by being buried alive in the “Evil Field.” In Brides of Rome, Book One in the Vesta Shadows series, Debra May Macleod skillfully re-creates the world of ancient Rome with all its brutality and brilliance, all its rich history and even richer legend. A true page-turner that is as smart as it is compelling, this must-read novel brings the Vestal order to life like never before. The Vesta Shadows trilogy spans decades, from 45 BCE to 14 CE. It follows the life of the Vestal priestess Pomponia Occia, who is inspired by the real Vestal Occia who lived during this time, serving in the Temple of Vesta for more than fifty years. Set during the tumultuous years that saw the fall of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire under Augustus—and beyond—it dramatizes some of the major historical events that occurred during her lifetime while simultaneously bringing ancient Rome to life with fast-paced, engrossing, and visceral storylines played out by a striking cast of characters.
