Protector and watcher of survivors

Requested by @ironrainmain

When I am expanding my knowledge, educating myself,defending my sisters, when I am healing. I feel that is Medusa working through, I don't like that she is put into a category of 'Dark Goddesses' but I understand why in terms of the archetype such as like a Madonna and the Whore.

But it feels very outside scope without an understanding of her and who she truly is, recognizing both her origins in the Greek Mythos where she is the most beautiful Gorgon and the Roman myth-Adaptation where she is Athena's priestess and asaaulted I think her core in both of these tales is that she was a Woman. In which ever form she was always beautiful, her head as a ward for centuries against evil.

To place her into the Dark Goddess/Feminine, arbituary boxes I feel is a diservice not just to her but to ourselves.

She is multifaceted just as we are, allow yourself to grow,to heal. You have always been more than your body, you are worth more than just a pretty face or perhaps a 'head' so-to-speak.

Latest edition of my Medusa Prayer Beads which could also be used for the Greek goddess Athena. This set of Prayer Beads is made with Dragons Blood, Aventurine, and Carnelian! The pendant is lead pewter and the snake center piece is silver coated. Unlike my other pieces this has a perfect match charm bracelet to accompany it.

Medusa is the Greek goddess of power and protection for survivors and marginalized groups, especially gender minorities. She is also a powerful sea deity and the goddess of transformation, snakes and menstruation. She is a symbol of feminine power and the protector of people who are considered “monsters” by society.

And so I made Spotify playlists for both her and Medusa and reguarly listen to them usually on my drive to work, excersise or other things.

They both have a wide variety of metal and I like to add alot of Random songs thar i've never listened to. Some of them are a bit cringey or I guess edgy but I also believe that because I also love this music it is expressed onto them as well as my love for them. It makes me feel empowered and closer to them, sometimes even it feels like the Random song that plays is a reassurance from either of them.

I made a piece in honor of Medusa (Roman) this piece is made of dragons blood, carnelian, aventurine and black glass. The pendant is lead free pewter and the snake center charm is silver coated.
