A look into female archetype Medusa and the role she plays in women’s psychology through a Jungian psychotherapeutic lens and its mythological mycelial origins.

From. hunted and feared monster to righteous female rage, and the wisdom to use it consciously, Medusa is shedding old skin.

When looking for the wild terrains of the feminine psyche in Europe, we tend to overlook Ariadne’s story. Hers seems to be a tale of the typical forlorn maiden & masculine rescue. But when we shed its the cast iron shackles, we find the roots of a Goddess psychology that supersedes feminine and masculine distinction. Through an inter-disciplinary and multi-cultural approach, the author takes you on a journey of rediscovery and re-imagining, allowing for the emergence of strength and life force both archaic and lively present in modern-day female heroes.
