Post divorce, I was coming on to a lovely man whose heart had already been committed to someone else.   Lack of self-worth, confidence and not being used to the treatment we all should have, I spent a good amount of time on the phone with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It culminated to a day when we were speaking.  He did not want to tell me the name of his true love, and so he said, let\u2019s just call her \u2018Lilith.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That stopped me dead in my tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Lilith,\u2019 I thought to myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am Lilith.  The one who would not continually \u2018make do\u2019 when it came to matters of the heart, of sovereignty.  Who gave it all up rather than live in a box that was a prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who suffered for her authenticity and was misaligned and misrepresented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That day changed something for me.  I put our silly flirtation into its correct perspective and moved on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am Lilith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so are you.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

More information on Lilith.<\/strong> But first a suggestion to listen to the meditation that follows.\u00a0 This is from a good friend of mine Inner Blazes: one of the best Goddess meditations I have ever heard.\u00a0You are going to be hearing a lot more from her.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lilith is a complex figure whose story has evolved over time and across cultures. In Jewish legend, Lilith is often described as Adam\u2019s first wife and Eve\u2019s predecessor. She was created from the earth, just as Adam was, and refused to be subservient to him. When Adam insisted on dominance, Lilith spoke God\u2019s secret name and left the Garden of Eden, choosing independence over submission. She then went to live by the Reed Sea (now called the Red Sea).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over time, Lilith\u2019s image shifted dramatically. Originally, she was a Sumerian goddess called the \u201cDivine Lady,\u201d honored as an assertive and sexually self-possessed wild spirit of the night. By the 10th century AD, her story had been transformed in rabbinical legend: she was stripped of her divinity and recast as a demon, with cautionary tales warning women not to emulate her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In many cultures, Lilith has been depicted as a demon, a child-killer, and a temptress, often symbolizing the \u201cevil\u201d attributed to women. However, contemporary feminist interpretations see Lilith as embodying the Goddess, the Great Creatrix, and the Queen of Heaven and Earth. She is associated with love, beauty, and eroticism, sharing these attributes with goddesses like Inanna, Ishtar, Asherah, Anath, and Isis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feminist scholars highlight Lilith\u2019s intimate knowledge of the divine, her insistence on equality between the sexes, and her refusal to enable men. Rather than viewing her as a symbol of evil, they see her as a role model for justice and equality, representing women\u2019s autonomy and power. Some suggest that the demonization of Lilith was an attempt by patriarchy to suppress matriarchal traditions and female empowerment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
