Medusa is an apotropaic symbol in Greek Mythology, used to protect from and ward off negative energy. Her hair of snakes and reptilian skin are symbolic of the natural cycle of birth, death and rebirth. Snakes are used due to their shedding of skin, their rebirth to a new skin. This cycle is paralleled with women's natural cycle of menstruation, which was believed to be synchronised with the cycles of the moon and tide.

Medusa's ability to turn men into stone is an important facet of her feminine power. This is the power over all life, the ability to return life back to the earth from which it came. This is the power which must be reigned in by the patriarchal Greek Gods, for it represents a total control over the natural cycle.

Why we love her: Medusa represents a dangerous threat meant to deter other dangerous threats, an image of evil to repel evil.

Symbol of: Strength, Femininity, Female Empowerment, Natural World
