Medusa Myths

Medusa of Ancient Greece holds many parallels to Kali of Indian mythology. They are both powerful goddesses of rage and destruction and therefore guardians of the gates of the underworld. Kali represents the untamed Kundalini energy. She has 8 arms, the number of infinity showing the infinite cycle of destruction, death and then rebirth. Medusas' snakes are very much the powerful kundalini.
