⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾ Medusa - Goddess Energy ☾⋆⁺₊⋆
Today I had the absolute honour of seeing the ancient Medusa heads hidden deep within the 6th-century underground Basilica Cistern in Istanbul. As someone who loves, follows and feels deeply connected to goddess energy, this was a really special moment for me.
Most of us know the version of Medusa as the woman who turned men to stone, but far fewer know the story that came before. If you take the time to look beyond the myth we were told, you’ll find a woman whose story is one of injustice, survival and transformation.
To me, Medusa isn’t a monster. She is a symbol of feminine power, protection and resilience, a woman who refused to be silenced and whose story is a reminder of justice, still today.
Standing before her ancient face, beneath the streets of Istanbul, I felt a deep sense of connection and power. What a goddess.
