PEGI EYERS |
Wearing a Medusa mask, serpent jewellery and snakeskin robes, I embody the ancient feminine force of resistance, seeking to shut down all that is harmful to life, such as imperialist patriarchies and other walls of division. If Medusa’s talents are to freeze male violence and warfare, and stop the androcracy in its tracks, then her converse role as nurturer, rewilder and sustainer of the living green world must equally be at play. Undulating across the land like magnetic lines of earth-emergent serpentine delight, the Medusa mythos inspires us to rage against the machine, and to remember our bond to the Ancestral Mothers and their sacred legacy. Strong in my own Medusa energy, embodying the hard and the soft, the holding and the letting go, I can’t imagine a more empowering role model for women.
