Remember that variations of the myths exists. I do not subscribe to Ovids interpretation of her myths. I see her as Poseidons lover who has always been a monster. However I know not everyone sees her like that. You subscribe to the version you most like. This is the reason that the doc is general. There are many versions of her story.

🐍🌟 Embracing Medusa's Power: A Journey of Transformation 🌟🐍

✨✨ Calling all seekers of strength and liberation! Today, let us embark on a powerful journey to connect with the compelling energy of Medusa, the Gorgon of Greek mythology. Medusa, a symbol of transformation and female empowerment, invites us to explore the depths of our inner power, challenge societal norms, and embrace our unique essence. 🐍🌹🔥

In Greek mythology, Medusa was a fearsome Gorgon with snakes for hair and a gaze that turned mortals to stone. While often portrayed as a monster, Medusa's story is one of resilience and transformation. Cursed by the gods, she became a symbol of the power of female rage, independence, and the reclaiming of one's own narrative.

🐍🌹 Embracing Medusa's Strength: A Ritual of Empowerment 🌹🐍

1️⃣ Sacred Space: Create a sacred space where you can connect with Medusa without distractions. Adorn your altar with symbols of transformation, such as snake imagery, dark stones, or empowering words that resonate with your journey.

2️⃣ Invocation: Light a candle in Medusa's honor, symbolizing her fiery spirit and transformational power. Close your eyes, take deep breaths, and visualize a coiling energy rising within you, invoking Medusa's presence. Recite an invocation that speaks to your heart, inviting the goddess into your sacred space.

3️⃣ Mirror Work: Medusa's iconic snakes were a reflection of her own power. Sit in front of a mirror, gazing into your own eyes. Embrace the parts of yourself that have been deemed "monstrous" or "unacceptable." Allow Medusa's energy to guide you in accepting and embracing your unique beauty and strength.

4️⃣ Meditative Connection: Enter a meditative state, focusing on your breath and grounding yourself. Feel the energy of Medusa's snakes intertwining with your own, channeling her transformative power within you. Allow her energy to flow through you, igniting your inner fire and empowering you to rise above adversity.

5️⃣ Embracing Authenticity: Embrace your authenticity and reclaim your narrative. Release the expectations and judgments placed upon you by society. Embrace your unique essence and the power of your voice. Let Medusa's strength inspire you to be unabashedly true to yourself.

6️⃣ Gratitude and Farewell: Express gratitude to Medusa for her presence and guidance. Offer a final prayer or affirmation of gratitude, acknowledging her transformative influence in your life. Blow out the candle, symbolizing the end of the ritual, while knowing that Medusa's strength and wisdom reside within you.

🐍🌟 Embrace the Power Within: Medusa's Blessing 🌟🐍

As you journey alongside Medusa, embrace the transformative power she embodies. May her strength guide you to embrace your authenticity, challenge societal expectations, and reclaim your power. Embrace the beauty and strength within yourself, celebrating your unique essence without fear or apology.

🐍🌟 Blessed be, dear souls, as you embody the transformative power of Medusa's gaze! 🌟🐍

I'm sincerely very happy for anyone who is enjoying the show but every time I see takes that the show has improved the book characterizations or that the book characters are underdeveloped in comparison to the show...

#our experiences are very different lmao #pjo show crit #sure the show isn't completely out yet #but id argue that the characters (namely the trio) seem way more developed and well-rounded in the book by this point in time (episode 4) #and look im not saying every change the show has made is bad #but by and far there has yet to be a change to characterization that feels like an IMPROVEMENT from the source material lmao #the closest contender I'd say is show Percy does seem a tad angrier than book Percy #but again I wouldn't call that an improvement... its just different and I think that /change/ works because it feels like the same essence #but even that has had some issues because I feel like the show has inadvertently cut down some of Percy's canon book empathy here and there #I think the show has nailed Annabeth's pride and intelligence and her warped worship of her mother #... but they've also made her hyper competent to the point that she's not making half of the mistakes she did in the book #which ISNT good because book annabeth is smart but she isn't infallible #its a big point that she has the theoretical intelligence but none of the real world experience/application #she gets tricked by medusa and goes to visit the Arch just cause she loves architecture and that's okay!! she's twelve and a nerd! #I also dont like that they've cut/toned down her little crush on Luke #actually they've not even showcased the familial bond between annabeth and Luke either in the show so like lmao #and then grover #by now grover's fear of failure and repeating this past mistakes and wanting a license has already been acknowledged in the books at least #in the show?? not so much #and his canon book suspicions and wariness of medusa... were given to annabeth #like medusa in the book was Grover's moment to shine cause his instincts were right! #and in the book fight he even very intentionally attacked medusa #but his highlights there were cut completely in the show #and finally sally #...idk who that is in the show but that's NOT my sally jackson #percy jackson #mine

Uncle Rick why do you fo this to me😭 THIS is medusa, never a human, never a priestess to athena. People already get this story wrong and so much misinformation is spread about her story. She was born a monster same as the rest of her family. She was as much a monster as the minotaur. Ovid was way later and a Roman who wanted to make the Greek goods look bad. I get the meaning for victims of sa but we need to stop pretending it's the Greek story. This pagan is tired 😫

I’ve seen a lot of misinformation (and harassment) about this so since so many are wondering:

Lilith is open.

You do NOT have to meet a rabbi and to begin the conversion process.

Lilith is jewish in origin.

LILITH IS OPEN.

u don’t need to convert and it’s not appropriation to use her name in your own worship. steer clear from recreating jewish medieval apotropaic bowls to ward OFF AND AWAY lilith and u should be good. Oh wait sorry I know u probably weren’t going to do that, ward off and away an entity you worship, but so many here act like that’s what popular practice. yeah, them saying that REALLY is so twisted, antisemitic, and untrue;

LILITH IS NOT CLOSED!

AND ITS ANTISEMITIC TO SAY SO!

This idea that its antisemitic to engage with Lilith unless you’re jewish, and if you aren’t you have to begin the process of conversion to judaism for Lilith IS ANTISEMITIC. WHY DO I EVEN HAVE TO SAY THAT. tldr; it’s antisemitic to say that Lilith is closed, Lilith is open to all.

A response to the “Athena is a victim blamer and hates women” crowd

The idea that Athena punishes victims of rape is very popular in today’s culture because of how famous Ovid’s retelling of the Medusa myth has gotten. It hurts me that people think that Athena hates assault victims because of 1 (one) story written by a man who hated authority figures and wanted to slander the gods.

Before Ovid’s Metamorphoses (which is part of Roman mythology, not Greek mythology fyi), all of the mythology regarding Medusa said that she was born a monster. She wasn’t a beautiful woman who was assaulted and no one transformed her. She was a sister of Echidna, a monster born from a family of monsters. Ovid’s tale of Medusa is a fictional story that has no basis on greek culture and that he wrote to push a political narrative. If you want to learn how Athena acted in actual greek mythology, here are some stories for you:

- When Ajax The Lesser raped Cassandra at a temple of Athena, Athena punished him and the greeks who failed to chastise him by sending a storm that sank their fleet. Ajax was shipwrecked and drowned, while his people, the (historical) Opuntians, were told by Apollo that to appease the goddess they would have to send maidens to the Trojan land for the next 1000 years, when the maidens arrived there they became priestesses of Athena.

- In Hyginus’ Fabulae, when the princess Nyctimene was found crying in the woods because her own father had raped her, Athena transformed her into her sacred owl and appointed her as her animal companion.

- In Ovid’s Metamorphoses (I’m only using this as a source to show how selective people are), Coroneis, princess of Phokis, was chased down by Poseidon. She cried out to Athena and the goddess transformed her into a crow to save her from the rape.

- For Hera’s sake, Athena IS a victim of attempted rape. In mythology, Hephaestus tried to force himself on her and she fought him off. The myth explicitly says that she felt disgusted by this.

Besides Ovid’s Metamorphoses Book 4, in every other myth about Athena and rape she is completely against it, protects the woman in danger and punishes the rapist.

Also, let’s talk about how in ancient times the cult of Athena was a escapeway for women. “The cult of Athena provided women in ancient Greece not only with a purpose outside the home and childbearing but a significant role in the life of the city. In the Athenian culture, which regularly suppressed feminine energy, even while celebrating it through their patron deity, Athena’s cult was an opportunity for women to express themselves, be recognized, and contribute to the religious and cultural life of the city.” (World History Encyclopedia, Joshua J. Mark)

In the Parthenon, a famous temple of Athena, there was a statue of Pandora, the first of womankind, where she was honored. (Pausanias, Description of Greece 1. 24. 5)

It’s worth noting that 99% of the sources that we have about ancient greece were written by aristocratic men, we have little to no idea of how women viewed and worshipped the gods. To sum it up, before y’all call Athena an anti-feminist, a rape enabler, or a victim blamer PLEASE read actual mythology and put some respect on Athena Axiopoenus (the avenger against injustice)’s name <3
