In mythology, Medussa was a gorgon who guarded the temple of Minerva with her sisters. In other myths, Medussa was a beautiful African queen, an archetypal warrior who defended freedom.
Medussa’s frozen face of rage represents a need to rant and rave against injustice. Likewise, when you swallow your words you can feel frozen with frustration. You probably even wear the same angry expression, complete with snakes for hair! It might do the perpetrators of your anxiety good to see your inner power expressed as rage when the occasion permits.
Carry a lapis lazuli gemstone to stimulate your truth. Use the analogy of the snakes to hit your mark with dead accuracy, but keep your words free from poison.
