Sustainable Transmutations: Not Broken Part 5
from Inner Work Guide's Alchemical Gnosis Yoga of the West · host Inner Work Guide
Now, one would think that Athena would stand up for her priestess who had, according to all accounts, kept her vows and virtue intact. Yet the law can be harsh -- blind justice enforcing the need to seek conformity above all else, as well as preserve taboo, led to the conditions of a dehumanizing endeavor. It is under these circumstances that Athena created the Gorgon Medusa. So twisted and misshapen had she become by the blind application of law that to simply gaze upon her would cause any to be transformed into stone.
