7 Kan
Yellow Resonant Seed
I recall the Night Medusa came to me –
“All that has been, that is, and that shall be”
I stood in western Twilight -
Revelation filled my Soul
My Blood awoke in Ecstasy
With the Knowledge that – She IS!
Then I knew the triple Goddess –
Sacred Feminine Power
Disparaged, despised, forgotten
Feared, beheaded, left for dead –
Lives ON!
Not a creature hideous
But a Symbol glorious
Medusa –
Wise Mother of Mysteries
Derider of Evil and Ignominy –
Your Gaze destroys
Your Blood resurrects
From you spring Chrysaor of the golden Sword
And Pegasus, the white-winged Steed
Without whom would Poets thirst –
Their Muses without Hippocrene.*
*Hippocrene: literally “fountain of the horse.” When Pegasus kicked the side of Mount Helicon, abode of the Muses, water sprang forth to inspire them and slake their thirst.
