The handle is then oiled with our Luna Ignis Lilith anointing oil to make the grain pop and to protect the wood.

Lilith is one of the most popular dark goddesses in modern witchcraft, wicca and the occult.
She is one of the most powerful yet misunderstood deities in the Jewish tradition. Her name is Lady Lilith, and she is considered to be the first woman God ever created.
However, she was cast out from Heaven due to her unsubmissive nature. She refused to lie below Adam in sex and demanded to be on top. Nowadays, Lilith, for some,is a controversial figure. On the one hand, some consider Lilith a primordial demon and an evil force that inspires fear. In fact, it was common for people in Israel to wear amulets to protect themselves against Lilith. On the other hand, she is revered and adored by her followers, who consider her the first feminist to have ever existed.
The truth is that Lilith’s nature is complex and dual, and she has often been misunderstood and vilified.
Lady Lilith is strongly associated with power, femininity, sexuality, independence, and the Night. In fact, she is the archetype of Dark Femininity. She has many names besides Lilith. Some of them are Satrina, Ita, Kali, Batna, Talto, Abito, Amizo, Izorpo, Kokos, Odam, Podo, Eilo, Patrota, Abeko, Kea, and Partasha.
Lady Lilith was present in the ancient Sumerian culture. Her name derives from the ancient Sumerian word “lil?tu”, a term for female demons. She was a bird-serpent Goddess related to childbirth and early childhood, and she helped nurse children.
Some sources claim she was the goddess of fertility and agriculture. The figure of Lilith was known in Israel, Egypt, Greece, and Rome. People associated her with sexuality, magic, and chaos. The mythical figure of Lilith also gave way to the first stories about vampirism.
