The Magick Of Lilith: Calling Upon The Great Goddess of The Left-Hand Path (Mesopotamian Magick Book 1)

Product Information

For a man to tell his daughter to be like her and stay strong that shows true strength and equality. However, Lilith wasn’t always that way according to Babylonic Talmud and written in Genesis, which name her as Adam’s first wife before Eve.

Some reliefs show Her lower half as being the body of a serpent or She is shown as a serpent with the head and breasts of a woman. She started to be a popular motif in art and literature around the Renaissance period, when Michelangelo portrayed her as a half woman, half serpent being. She was threatened with the death of her children, so she matched that energy and turned it against humanity – an eye for an eye, so to speak.If you feel that you have given away your power or that you feel victimized in any way, Lilith screams back that you have the power to stand tall in the face of anyone encroaching on your space. The legend was greatly developed during the Middle Ages, in the tradition of Aggadic midrashim, the Zohar, and Jewish mysticism.

People are not interested in what She really is because that kind of experience is not so interesting for the vast majority of people. It is so unfair that just because she refused to be submissive to her husband,she was thrown out of paradise and labelled a demoness. The Latin term Pagan, which simply means “of the country,” stems from the history of Christianity, whose first converts were city dwellers. When women started to receive more rights, they started to disagree with the man-concentrated vision of the world, including the Biblical story about the beginning of the life on Earth.She is mentioned in the Bible: as the Hebrew God, Yahweh, threatens the destruction of Edom (a land located to the south and east of the Dead Sea) He describes what will happen after it is laid waste: “…The night creature shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest” (Book of Isaiah, chapter 34, verse 14). There are at least three versions of Lilith’s fate outside Eden: the first tells that she was confined to the caves of the Red Sea, where she would still live dedicating herself to pagan rites in full harmony with nature. Both were seen as diabolical beings by the terrified medieval men who saw in everything the presence of an absolute principle of evil, especially when they could not dominate what was opposed to their usual place of security. Carnay explains: “It’s a woman of courage, a metaphor for women who take risks in moving away from traditions to create a sacred space. Barrett is also a Wiccan priestess of the Circle of Aradia, a legally incorporated religious “congregation” that is for women only.

Lilith is like many dark goddesses who have been viewed to be feared, seen as hag-like, demons and scary, but rather this intense raw energy as a dark goddess can be “owned” and use protectively; a weapon that was once used against the Dark Goddess is now in her hands to defend herself.Evidence in later Jewish materials is plentiful, but little information has been found relating to the original Akkadian and Babylonian view of the "Lilith" demons. The Circle of Aradia rents community centers or churches for its seasonal gatherings, since its outdoor rituals drew too much unwelcome interruption. Recent translations of Her name are varied and range from ‘screech owl’, lilah which is darkness or night in Hebrew, to Lilitu which is said to be the Babylonian word for ‘evil night-spirit.
