Medusa

Serpent-haired Medusa ruled over the regenerative mysteries of sex and death,
and protected these magical rites from being discovered and abused by the
uninitiated. As the third, crone/destroyer aspect of the lunar triad, Medusa's
message was one of wisdom, and it concerned the inevitability of death. AS an
Ocean Goddess of the West She guarded the gateway of death and granted safe
passing to all souls entering the oceanic entrance to the underworld.
In Greek mythology, the patriarchy, in their fear of the wise woman of death, and
of the magical sexual power of the menstruating feminine, demonized Medusa (as
they did the other dark goddesses) into a monstrous figure of the devouring,
castrating mother.
The Dark Goddess, in her guise as Medusa, was best known as the third Gorgon
sister, whose beautiful abundant hair became a crown of hissing serpents and the
gaze from her evil eye turned men into stone. Yet Medusa was once known for
her beauty. She was depicted with graceful golden wings arched above her
shoulders, and she took the Sea God as her lover.
The Orphics called the moons face the Gorgons Head. According to Robert
Graves, during the earlier matriarchal times the Gorgon sisters were
representatives of the Triple Moon Goddess. They were masked guardians, the
protectors of her mysteries. The fact that Medusa was the only one of the three
sisters who was mortal and could die suggests her association as a dark goddess
connected to the dark closure aspect of the lunar cycle.
The patriarchys fear of the Dark Goddess led them to perceive Medusa as a
demonic mythical monster, who was then fortunately decapitated by the hero
Perseus. Mythographers have called her a nightmare vision a face so horrible
that the dreamer is reduced to stony terror. According to Freud, Medusas head
represents the terrifying toothed genitals of the Great Mother. Erich Neumann
writes that the petrifying gaze of Medusa belongs to the province of the Terrible
Great Groddess, for to be rigid is to be dead, and that she is the devouring
aspect of the mother.
Serpent-haired Medusa was once a queen of the awesome powers of the dark
moon. She ruled over the regenerative mysteries of sex and death, and protected
these magical rites from being discovered and abused by the uninitiated. As the
third, crone/destroyer aspect of the lunar triad, Medusas message was one of
wisdom, and it concerned the inevitability of death. The west is the gateway to
death, and Medusas oceanic cavern situated at the far western edge of the world

lies at the entrance to the underworld. The patriarchy, in their fear of the wise
woman, of death, and of the magical sexual power of the menstruating feminine,
demonized Medusa (as they did the other dark goddesses) into a monstrous figure
of the devouring, castrating mother.
Medusa continues to haunt generations of men with her deadly power to turn
them into stone with a glance from her evil eye. The ancients projected this fear
on the star of Agol in the constellation of Perseus. Perseus is holding up the head
of Medusa as a trophy of his conqurest, and Agol, known as the demon star,
represents the eye in the Gorgons Head. Agol is an eclipsing binary and is made
up of two stars revolving around each other. Approximately every sixty hours,
when the fainter star passes in front of the brighter and hides or eclipses it, Agol
gives a long, gradual wink. The ancients explained this phenomenon as the
winking of the demons eye still blinking after her body had been decapitatedThis
message was sent from a T-Mobile wireless phone.

She was even potent AFTER death....Perseus would show her severed head to
anyone he wanted to slay and even then they would continue to be turned into
stone. He turned ATLAS into stone.
Her blood was poisonous if it dripped on anyone or anything.

It is said that 2 drops of Medusa's blood were given to Ascleplius from Athena.
You know Asclepius. He's the Healer w/ the rod. The medical symbol.
One drop from the right side of her head....has the power to cure and heal...even
to RESURRECT!
The drop from the left side has the power to kill.
And so it is with medicine and power. It to, has the power to heal or kill.
