Her hair symbolizes the serpent energy getting to the Crown but I don't know what the sight that turns into stone means.

Sounds accurate, I’ve been curious about the stone meaning as well. It may be similar to the tale of the rainbow serpent where the serpent ends up eating itself (allegorical)

Could be just coincidence, but I started seeing her quite often out of nowhere and my recent Tarot reading did mention that I should pay attention to details like that.
The severed head of Medusa is ascribed to the star Caput Algol, that's all I know. Stay away from that star though as it's highly malicious.

Imagine what might happen when Uranus goes over this in a few years then Saturn.

This also is the only meaning I have seen for this but also alcohol seems to tie into this somehow in some articles too.

It seems to me like a symbol not for something good now but it might have originally meant feminine sexuality and serpent power unleashed fully. That is my guess.

According to the myth if you look her in the eyes you will turn into stone. Do you guys think that this can be a reference to the Evil Eye in some way? (the one described on JOS not the christianized version of it)

This is my own theory so don't quote me on it, but i believe it is possible to force someone into a trance and amplify your psychic attack on them that way. I believe that's how sleep paralysis works, while your defenses are down they either force you into a trance or attack you right when you are in a stage of sleep where your brainwaves are deepest, thats why when you wake up during an attack you are paralyzed, because our bodies paralyze us so we don't act out our dreams.

However in my experience, i've found that maybe it is possible through magic or technology to force someone in a trance. Recently i've been waking up just before i hit a trance its so hard to explain, its like i wake up and immediately feel like im being drawn into a black hole its so intense, and i just gotta let it pass as fighting it doesnt really help and riding the wave so to speak or intentionally trying to go deeper myself to see whats going to happen, i hear this white noise and its almost deafening, the same one you hear during void meditation I think someone said its the electrical signals in our brains or something, multiply that by 100 and you'll know what i mean.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Algol is multiple star system though, not a single star. Maybe that is the reason why it’s so bad?

Knowing the allegories of other major stories I think it would likely fall along the lines of the lessons of the serpent and how one shouldn’t seek the power or chase it, “those who chase it turn to stone” the rainbow serpent of the serpent eating itself if one seeks it, it’s more of a major message of what someone should not do. There’s also the message being relayed that if someone isn’t advancing, that time will catch up to you. Turning to stone appears to be Saturnian. There’s also the meaning of the serpent and Satan being the destroyer of time and the destroyer of saturn. When someone gets to that level, that part is done away with. There’s a few different tales that are similar regarding stone, excluding the rainbow serpent. A lot of major artistic works or myths don’t just carry one single allegory, but many, and they’re all applicable and important to understand.

Oh yuck, well this sure explains a hell of a lot. I got one sister whose ASC is conjunct Caput Algol and another sister whose Sun conjuncts it.
Yeah, when it's in a chart it can be sublimated, but for that it takes someone who is open to magick to begin with and also puts in the work to fix these things, which is not easy.
For those who have it in the chart and dont sublimate it, the effects can be equally bad to absorbing its energies. Although how bad exactly depends on what planet is on it and how exact the conjunction/opposition is. Even Zevism can easily fall victim to these effects if nothing is done specifically to sublimate the energies positively one way or another.

They both have close conjunctions, one degree and two degrees respectively. The sister whose ASC is at 24 degrees Taurus, she and I haven’t gotten along for years and it’s obvious why now. It’s unfortunate neither of my sisters are or ever will be Satanists. If it wasn’t dangerous to do so I’d go on about how much Satanism has helped me and could help everyone else also.
 
Sorry to resurrect this thread. I’ve been seeing a lot of Medusa imagery today so I wanted to see if this thread had any info. Can’t deny I’m curious about the symbology of Medusa too.
 
Lots of mosaics used to induce trance state have Medusa in the center.
