A Message from Medusa

Journey to Medusa...

The image I was shown is of two women blended into one. The young aspect is in profile on the right looking up in youth flowing with sensual power. The second aspect is the crone looking square at the viewer in powerful confidence. Her eyes are fire and snake. All around their heads is swirling white light that blends with snakes in such a way that you cannot tell where the snake ends and the light begins. On top of the crone is the head of a large snake with his head resting on top of hers also looking dead at the viewer. Out of the back of the head of the young woman is another large snake looking straight up at the sky. Both the bodies of the snakes entwine to form a vertical figure eight with the first circle around the head of the crone and the lower circle around her fiery heart radiating light and flames. The snake’s tails continue down to wrap around the earth, which is shown on the bottom of the canvas (just the top half of Earth is shown). The Earth is radiating light, almost glowing. The center of the Earth is glowing red and white pulsating with power.

Medusa said to me,

I am one of the many facets of the divine feminine archetype. I have two faces in your image, one of the young aspect looking up and out green bursting creative reproductive power and one of the powerful crone looking square at the viewer fully embodied and radiating with confidence and fierce power. Is there anything more sinuous, sensual and powerful than a snake? My divine feminine power, my light swirling up and around me frightened people not in balance with their feminine energy so much that they demonized me. This was symbolized in part by the snakes. I am feminine strength forged in heart fire and based in the womb, which is that of Mother Earth, the Divine Mother. I am transformation and transmutation. The ultimate transformation of the female and male union into a human with the body of the Earth Mother and the soul from the light (sky). The snake is from Earth Mother, feminine, powerful transformational representing the power of Woman. This power is from the heart fire fueled by Womb of Woman, ultimately the womb of Earth. This is accessible by both male and female. This is strength and courage, the transmutation of fear into light, the human into the Divine. Harnesses this fire with in you, the kundaini. This is to be used wisely with and through the heart.

Medusa’s power is seen in her eyes confirmed in the myth of turning people to stone who looked into her eyes. To see such power if not in your own power and integrity would cause fear in the beholder to the point of paralysis (turning people into stone). The heart fire is passion, power from the womb of Mother Earth, and of Woman and the heart, the three passions of the heart.
