History of Lilith
Lilith is a complex character and has been deeply rooted in Mythology as far back as Mesopotamia. Like most powerful females, Lilith is often portrayed as dark and demonic, though if we dive deeper into her lengthy lore — there is a elaborate labyrinth of tales to tell.
In Jewish Folklore Lilith rebelled against male subservience. ; for this she was condemned and cursed. Known as a seductress who would prey on men she is known to be wild, untamed and the feral nature of the feminine.
In Astrology, she is a main principle calculated from the Moons orbit; its furthest point from earth. The dark side of the moon which holds our repressed primal nature, our deep instincts and desires, the side of our psyche that is often banished and suppressed by society.
Through her darkness, shadows of wisdom shimmer some of her most heroic attributes: Liberation, independence, anarchism, rebellion and resisting constraints that are thrusted upon us. But more importantly, it’s about embracing, accepting and acknowledging our true nature. The one who hides behind all the masks.
