Long before Greek retellings, figures like Medusa were associated with protection, wisdom, and sacred feminine power across North Africa and the ancient Mediterranean. What later traditions labeled as “monsters” often began as guardians, priestesses, or symbolic forces rewritten through conquest and cultural shift. This is not mythology as spectacle — it is mythology as memory. @B. Smith @DaGod Ke @House of Ruckerharris @Kairee OPharrow @Sebastian Spencer @Taneya Malone @Christina Cotto @Justasia Hodge
