My Lilith Masterlist

Please keep in mind that the content I post is based off my own studies at that point in time. What I post in 2022 may not be the same as what I post in 2023 or the years forward. Some information may be outdated/changed as I learn and research more.

Have a request for a specific Lilith post?

Beginner Information

You can find my Lilith "Beginner's Notes" here.

⎯ Which Lilith do I study?

I study h13 Lilith. Also known as: "True" Lilith / Black Moon. This is the point in the moon's orbit that is farthest from the Earth. True Lilith is not a physical object, but rather a mathematical point that astrologers use in their calculations.

In my very early research into Lilith, this particular one came up time and again in charts of personal friends, relatives, actors, musciains, etc. as having it making aspects to their personal planets.

There are other Liliths in astrology, including 11811 asteroid Lilith. Sometimes in natal charts, all of the Liliths are in the same sign. In other charts, they are in different ones. I recommend everyone look into the other Liliths in astrology and in their own natal chart and take what resonates with them.

Please remember I am not a "professional" astrologer. This is just something I do for fun. Take everything you read here with a grain of salt.

⎯ Lilith in a man's chart vs woman's chart

Lilith in a man's chart is associated with his deepest fears and desires. This is because Lilith represents the suppressed and rebellious aspects of femininity, which the man may find both alluring and intimidating. It reflects a yearning for the untamed, independent, and mysterious qualities that Lilith embodies, yet at the same time, it can evoke fear or uncertainty due to societal norms and expectations.

Lilith in a woman's chart is seen as a more rebellious and assertive element. It symbolizes her refusal to conform to traditional gender roles and societal expectations. This rebellious nature in a woman's chart suggests a strong drive for independence, a rejection of limitations, and a desire to express her femininity on her own terms. Lilith in a woman's chart encourages her to embrace her wild, instinctual side and resist any attempts to restrain her authenticity.

Tarot 05.20.23 - The Royal Advisor Spread

Today I tried out The Black Tarot by Victoria Iva in a spread significantly larger than one I've ever done before. I'm still working on interpretations but that might have to wait until I am no longer ill and have regained some energy (this was really draining).

I pulled cards reversed as well but I'm not sure if I'm going to interpret them as such because it seems daunting enough without that.

In the first image, around The Eye you can see my hematoid quartz (for grounding) and my labradorite tower (for inspiration). The paper below The Eye is a talisman I made using my Talisman Oracle deck by Nora Paskaleva, which I'm using to capture the lessons from this reading and keep them with me.

[copperbadge]

So, a few weeks ago, on a quest for something else, I tripped over the concept of the 78-card Tarot spread. For those who aren’t into Tarot, the standard deck has four suits of 14 cards each that comprise the Minor Arcana plus 22 extra “face” cards that comprise the Major Arcana, so a 78-card spread would use every card in the deck, which is a trifle unusual in my experience. 

There are apparently a couple of full-deck spreads floating around out in the ether, but the ones I looked at weren’t satisfying to me for various reasons – perfectly decent on their own, but none of them quite what I was looking for. I had been startled by the very idea of a full-deck spread, but once I looked around I decided it would be interesting to try and make one of my own.

I sat down and drafted out a chart (the hand-drawing in this post is the final drafting of that) and built up a structure around it. For the past week or so I’ve been shuffling and writing and preparing to give the reading a test-run. Now that I have (and it was very interesting reading), I’m ready to unleash it on the world in time for Halloween – or Samhain, or All Saints, or All Souls, or Dia De Los Muertos, or whichever Veil Is Thinnest Oh Shit Light The Candles holiday you prefer. 

You can read more about the spread, including an explication of how to read it and a few variances on the reading, at the link below. I hope you all enjoy it and have fun with it. 

The Four Royal Advisors

[kindnessinsilver]

The Four Royal Advisors - 1.1.23

So today I did a 78 card tarot spread for the first time, and in my infinite wisdom, I decided to use The Four Royal Advisors spread by @copperbadge

There is nothing wrong with this spread, to be clear. It’s just complex and I’m not as back in practice as I would like to be. I’ve been wanting to try this spread for a couple years, and this year I got back into tarot in a big way. This was the year, I was totally ready. (Spoiler: I was maybe not ready). There are a lot of really neat notes and useful resources provided for this that make a daunting prospect easier.

I used The Raven’s Prophecy tarot deck, art and guidebook by Maggie Stiefvater (surprising probably no one who has glanced at my blog in the past couple months.)

I’ll hopefully remember to post some more details at some point in the near future, but here we are, 4 hours, 1 meal, not enough breaks or water later. I have 5 typed pages of notes and that’s with unfinished thoughts on the Ascent and the Journey. I’m going to return to those tomorrow when I don’t hate everything about cards and words. 78 cards is a lot to process and read together when the biggest spread you’ve done is about 13.

My Grimoire Research Library

this is a list of my major resource I've referenced/am currently referencing in my big grimoire project. For books I'll be linking the Goodreads page, for pdfs, websites and videos i'll link them directly.

There are plenty of generalised practitioner resources that can work for everyone but as I have Irish ancestry and worship Hellenic deities quite a few of my resources are centred around Celtic Ireland, ancient Greece and the Olympic mythos. If you follow other sects of paganism you are more than welcome to reblog with your own list of resources.

Parts of my grimoire discuss topics of new age spiritualism, dangerous conspiracy theories, and bigotry in witchcraft so some resources in this list focus on that.

It’s kind of silly but I feel really honored that my family trusted me to smoke cleanse our new home. I was worried about it because I’m kind of clumsy and they’ve had bad experiences with people who have previously cleansed their living spaces.

Everything went great though and my uncle is excited about how much “lighter” everything feels since then!

Tarot Trick

Shuffle your deck and think about a goal or desire. When you feel ready, split the deck in your hands and then hold the exposed card face up on either side. The card revealed in your left hand is what will hinder you, in your right what will help you.
