Algol: The Severed Mind and the Living Whole

Algol is the head that Perseus cut off before she could petrify him with her gaze.
Not Medusa, but the head of Medusa—a mind-field: magnetic, stonifying, fragmenting the life of the animate form into a perceived field of permanence.

The head of Algol holds the mirror of resonance to account, bringing forth what may be interpreted as tremendous, stultifying, and seemingly infinite tragedy. And yet, her work is far more edifying when held within the ultimate sensibility of Christ’s container: the reconciling LOGOS that contains all potential from A to Z, and the Mystery of Life itself, within the universe of our unfolding.

Algol is not tender, though tenderness is her end: to be reunited with the Body of Christ, integrating the many serpents of the Tree of Knowledge she bears as both burden and guide—her own relation to creation itself.

Of course, Christ loves without bounds, without reason. And so her fragmented reason, her emotional chaos, is brought into a higher resonance when she is mastered—integrated by the Pleroma through the cycle of each house, day and night.

Where she once impulsively froze her adversaries and victims, she is made soft again—tenderized by Life’s humility. She gains understanding where power was once applied without Love. And in this way, she is edified, and rises to the occasion in Him.
