Pre-Christian Era Metaphysical Values of the WEST
Medusa for furhter detail - refer www.samimatilainen.com
Medusa, originally was a an attractive young woman whose crowning glory was her magnificent long hair, was desired and courted by many suitors. Yet before she could be betrothed to a husband, Poseidon (Neptune) found her worshipping in the temple of Athena (Minerva) and ravished her. Athena was outraged at her sacred temple being violated, and punished Medusa by turning her beautiful tresses into snakes and giving her the destructive power to turn anyone who looked directly at her into stone.
Medusa
Historically, before ancient Greece, Medusa was worshiped by the Libyan Amazons as a Serpent -Goddess, and associated with the destroyer aspect Anath (also known as Athene) of the Triple Goddess in North Africa and Crete. The name Medusa (Medha in Sanscrit, Metis in Greek and Maat in Egyptian) means “sovereign female wisdom.”
Some scholars believe that the Greek and Roman Medusa myth, expresses the vanquishing of the great goddess religions, as the male gods Zeus/Jupiter and Poseidon/Neptune gained power. Others view it as expressive of the subjugation of woman’s bodies and enslavement of their spirit by a violent and oppressive male-oriented culture, which viewed Medusa’s life-giving, creative, primal energy as threatening.

Psychoanalytic interpretations of the Medusa myth focus upon Medusa’s snake-like hair representing bleeding female genitals, and the frightening power of the wounded (perhaps “castrated”), devouring mother over the fragile male psyche. Seeking his own manhood, the son must conquer his early identification with his mother and his regressive tendency to submit to maternal power and be swallowed up again by the womb. In order to avoid being symbolically castrated himself, and to be capable of mature sexual relations with a woman, he must first “behead” the mother archetype. Only then is he free to express his own power as a man, to form an equal partnership with a woman, and to eventually be helper to his own mother.
Interestingly, the East be in China or India, do have these similarities in respective ancient civilization. The power of Medusa was at her eye and hair. If you are well verse in Yijing, you would not the hexagram of seductiveness and sensational cum sexy curly hair. As meta physician, we find many priceless metaphysics’ values in ancient civilizations,East or West. I have been spending lots of time in doing research into Bible, Al-Quran, Rig-Veda, of course many old classics of China…. Amazingly, the brain opens and the bestowing in the ancient wisdom…
My dear brothers and sisters, if metaphysics is your interest and subject of study, better be open minded to any ancients and modern wisdom. Sometimes you would find me Daoisitic, sometimes Buddistic, sometimes Shintoistic, sometimes Christianistic, sometimes Hindusitic,sometimes like Witch and sometimes Islamic…. Why? because they are sources of WISDOM.
Perhaps, you cannot understand. But, if you do understand… you are near to the world of METAPHYSICS.
Whoever claims that feng shui is purely science… perhaps you need to reshape your paradigm and perspective.
