Medusa: " A close look at her role in Greek mythology and art reveals a nuanced and complex character with multiple iterations and implications." - so says The Met:

https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/medu/hd_medu.htm

" Medusa was mortal, while the others, Stheno and Euryale, were immortal. [...] The snake-haired Medusa does not become widespread until the first century B.C. The Roman author Ovid describes the mortal Medusa as a beautiful maiden seduced [i.e. RAPED] by Poseidon in a temple of Athena. Such a sacrilege attracted the goddess’ wrath, and she punished Medusa by turning her hair to snakes."

"The term gorgoneion refers to the head and face of Medusa, which was used often as a decorative motif. It is a prolific symbol of her particular power that appears in architecture, vase painting, and metalwork." [Similar colloquial examples: The Starbucks coffee logo, inspired by a Nordic wood carving, depicting a two tailed mermaid, smiling. Note: The parents of the Gorgons and Medusa, were sea creatures, in the myth.]

POD DESCRIPTION:

This is the House on Valencia Street. This is a place where ghosts & psychics, with PTSD, exist, & I'm talking about it. Share time with a rare survivor, walking back to haunted rooms and space being claimed from long ago. This is from the survivor's perspective, communicated as I see fit, in a way that feels right, for me.

I do not offer advice here, I share what worked for me. I am not a professional therapist, this is just one case study, one perspective. Please seek professional help, if mental health issues need attention.

Language is explicit, Content Warning: ghosts, psychic ability, rape, incest, foster care, murder, emancipation, BDSM, therapy, lightning strikes, personal responsibility, Buddhism, recovery, codependency, domestic violence - and inappropriate humor, most likely. Picture inset: This is me, so many years ago, standing in front of my mother's Impala, and the House on Valencia Street.
