Amazon of Water ~ Scylla (Reversed)
Greek Monster Maiden
Donβt let the fears of others drag you down.
Scylla (pronounced skulla) is a Greek sea dragon with the upper body of a woman, the tail of a fish or serpent, and six dog forelegs sprouting from her waist, of whom the ancient poet Homer wrote, βNo one could see her and still be happy, not even a god if he went that way.β The monster maiden haunts the rocks and caves of a narrow strait opposite the whirlpool daemon Charybdis. Ships attempting to pass through the strait to reach the Island of the Sun can expect to lose at least six men to her grasping paws, yet if they sail too close to the whirlpool the entire ship may be lost. To be βbetween Scylla and Charybdisβ means to be caught between two equally unpleasant alternatives.
Some poets say Scylla is born monstrous. Others claim she is born a divine and lovely maiden who plays among the other immortal nymphs of the sea, but becomes transformed into a hideous creature, punished for her beauty by a jealous goddess. The witch goddess Circe, angry at losing the attention of her current beloved, a sea god infatuated with Scylla. Circe tosses her magic herbs into the ocean pool where the nymph bathes to affect the metamorphosis.
But some say Scylla, like the once maidenly Charybdis who three times a day swallows the waters of the sea and three times throws them up again, is punished for having a mighty hunger, for having a desire of her own. She is killed for stealing cattle for her dinner, the cattle of a god enraged over the loss of his wealth and fearful of the loss of his power. Blasted by a god but immortal, she rises again in a new and terrible form. This time, no one is going to mess with her. She will eat and love and destroy as she pleases.
When Scylla appears:
Make firm your boundaries. Learn to say no. Do not care so much about others that you lose yourself.
Steer clear of people who project their own motives onto you. Do not be deluded by anotherβs delusion. Hold on to the reality of your feelings and your experience.
Being yourself means accepting yourself, warts and all. Never apologize for who you are, even when you have consequences for your behavior. Change the behavior, but understand and forgive yourself.
How others feel about you does not define you and must not oppress you. But do not ignore the emotions of others in your social environment. Tune in. Forewarned is forearmed, and if someone is serious about hurting you, you need to know of it.
Strengthen yourself and purify your land by picking up trash around your nearest body of water.
