Goddess Medusa

 




Medusa is a Libyan serpent goddess.

Medusa is the protector of feminine secrets, and she is known across North Africa and Crete.

She was brought to Greece as one of the Gorgons and transformed into a demon.

She was originally a symbol of life and death, a force that destroys in order to create.

Medusa is the goddess of balance in nature, guarding the entrances to the earth, heaven, and the underworld.

The snake is her totem animal, since it signifies the never-ending cycle of death and rebirth.

Snakes are intertwined in Medusa's hair and coiled around her torso, whispering secrets into her ears.
