Lilith the First Woman (9in)

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.

The name “Lilith” dates back thousands of years. In fact, the earliest mention of her name appears in a Sumerian epic poem that dates from 2000 BC. The name of this poem is “Gilgamesh and the Huluppu Tree”. Babylonians also associated Lilith with the Moon. They believed that the goddess, like the Moon, varied between phases.

In medieval Kabbalah –the esoteric and mystical teachings of Judaism- She is part of the Qlipoth – the dark side of the Tree Of Life..

For centuries, due to Christian and Jewish fear, Lilith was feared. She was said to seduce men and break up marriages in minutes. She was also considered dangerous if you were pregnant or giving birth. Newborn babies and children were also threatened by Lilith.

In some myths, Lilith is credited with being the first vampire, as it was believed she drank babies’ blood. Other stories say Lilith is the mother of the first vampires.

In the 19th Century, artists became fascinated by Queen Lilith and they started depicting her as a sensual goddess. She was beautiful and seductive.

Finally, in the 1970s, Lady Lilith was reclaimed by Jewish feminists. This is because she is independent, strong, intelligent, and fierce. These characteristics started being celebrated by feminist movements. Queen Lilith has become a prime example of a rebellious woman. She’s a powerful and unstoppable force. She is also a symbol of sexual liberation, equality, and fairness.
