Medusa is one of the most misunderstood, mysterious, and feared figures in
Greek mythology.


For millennia, she has been depicted as a monster to be feared,
even hunted within the recesses of our inner worlds.

Cursed, with no redemptive arc to her story.

Used as a weapon and a warning instead.

Yet, she holds an ancient power, deep wisdom, healing energy, and oracular gifts that are profoundly needed at this time.


Medusa is deeply intertwined with Eros, creativity, our life-death-life nature, our deep inner knowing, and our capacity to bring healing and essential,
ancestral knowledge to a dying world.


Sadly, through root loss, cultural upheaval, appropriation,
and the initiation of patriarchal rule through the Father Wound,
the truth of who she is and what she means in our lives has been lost.


This wound has been passed down through generations, leading many of us--black sheep, cycle breakers, medicine people, visionaries, healers, seers, creatives, and cultural change-makers—to fear these very aspects of our own nature.

​The truth is, you likely come from lineages that held deep oracular gifts, creative power, and healing visions that could be the golden salve the world needs.


There is a reason these gifts were oppressed, and there is a reason these energies are now shaking beneath the earth, writhing in the waters of your being, begging to be reclaimed.

​The Medusa Complex might show up as...

❅ Feeling frozen in the face of expressing your true gifts and genius in the world.
❅ Fear of your own power and potential, cutting yourself off before you can begin.
❅ Using your creative energy in a way that drains you due.
❅ A distrust of the oracular wisdom and visions that want to express through you.
❅ Fearing rejection, abandonment, betrayal, or abuse for sharing your genius.
❅ Being stuck in a cycle of chronic healing rather than living your life.
❅ Isolating yourself due unmetabolized grief connected to your gifts.
❅ Envy, hatred and competition with other women.

It is time for this to change.

The world needs your voice. 

The world needs your vision. 

The world needs the healing that will be brought forth through what you create.

Your creative power will heal you. 

What you keep it stuck within you
will deplete you of your light and energy.
​

It will turn YOU into stone.

This is a profound time to take the courageous step toward tapping
into the miracles that already live within you.


The parts of us that have experienced the most loss are connected to these ancient powers and deepest resources of ancestral magic and wisdom in our bones.

It is an act of radical self-love to reclaim these aspects of our voices, sexual and creative energies, intuitive knowing and healing contributions when we have felt like outsiders.

In order to truly belong, to feel a sense of freedom and authenticity, we must rediscover this power within us as the well-spring of love, liberation and healing that it is.

Are you ready to reclaim the transformative energy of one of mythology's most feared and misunderstood figures and write your own redemption story?
