She has dark-tinted skin and dark green snakes for hair that curl on top of her head. Medusa, like her sisters, is quite thin in size. She knows that, if her sisters and her can't work together, they will never defeat the American Dragon. Although Medusa insists (with good reasons) that she is the most important of the Gorgons, she is the first to call up a truce. She bickers with Fury and Euryale over who is the most important of them and who should be ruler over the world. Like siblings usually do, Medusa often quarrels with the other Gorgons, sometimes to the point that she'll engage into a fight against them. She also comes out as ungrateful since she never shows a hint of gratitude toward her sisters for breaking her free. She takes pride in the fact that most people know her name over Fury's or Euryale's. Medusa is a snobbish and proud woman who likes to have things done her way. Her freedom is once again short-lived since she gets turned back to stone by Jake and sinks in the Hudson River once more. In her second appearance, Medusa is once again freed by Fury and joins her two sisters on a quest to defeat the American Dragon and rule over the world. Her freedom is short-lived, however, when she starts feuding with Fury and Euryale and gets turned to stone, sinking once again into the river. In her first appearance, she is awakened by her sisters who had to fetch her from the deep waters with a fishing net. It is also possible that she was moved by magical means to guarantee her imprisonment. It is possible that she was, like her sisters, mistaken for an ancient Greek sculpture and shipped to North America to be displayed in a museum, but was lost in a shipwreck. It is currently unknown how exactly Medusa ended up in the middle of the Hudson River near New York City. Medusa and her sisters remained stuck in marble for more than a hundred years. He used his shield as a mirror, which reflected the Gorgon's paralyzing spell back onto them, thus turning all three to stone. No photography.During the times of ancient Greece, Medusa and her sisters ruled over all magical beings on Earth until they were overthrown by a warrior, presumably the Greek hero Perseus. Maximum length for a submission is 1000 words, and no more than two black and white illustrations, unless absolutely required for the integrity of the work. Where possible, the workings should be “timeless” – applying to situations, not specific named individuals or places. and more: practical advice, resources, and other instructions that fit the theme.recipes (oils, incense, tea, infusions, etc.).spells (justice, protection, sovereignty, empowerment, banishing, balance, etc.).The kinds of contributions we are looking for include, but are not limited to: If fighting against these violations is perverse, then Gorgons we shall be. Right now, we are under attack: the truths of science and logic are being undermined queer, trans, and reproductive rights are in grave danger and the powers-that-be continue to turn a blind eye to climate change, environmental destruction, and basic human rights. For centuries, witches have been said to be the perverse ones, upsetting the order of society. Some say the Gorgons represent perversion in its three forms: Medusa (intellectual), Euryale (sexual), and Steno (moral). The number of Gorgons varies, but the most popular mythology describes the Gorgons as three sisters. They could petrify anyone who looked directly into their eyes. Why is this volume called Gorgon’s Guide?Įmerging from Greek mythology, the Gorgons are beings oft described as having snakes for hair, large eyes, scaly skin, boar-like teeth, claws for hands, and golden wings. For this edition, we are especially centering the voices of queer, trans, and BIPOC practitioners and address issues affecting these and other intentionally exploited communities. We seek not only to survive, but to thrive and craft new possibilities for tomorrow – for humanity, for the planet, for all. Magical resistance happens both through physical means and metaphysical works – mind, body, and spirit. The Gorgon’s Guide follows in the footsteps of the first volume of New Aradia, digging deeper into magical work relevant to our times.
