Lilith is one of the most ancient goddesses, and is a manifestation of the Queen of Heaven, acting as one of the supreme goddess’ forms in this universe. This makes her deeply powerful and complex. Due to this, no amount of words could do this goddess justice, for she is of a vast many things, and can be paradoxical. Overall, Lilith is the Queen Mother of Hell and she is Romance itself; the goddess of true, ideal romantic love that is full of passion and unending devotion. She is also connected with motherly love, and appreciation for nature. Lilith is primarily the Queen of Night; the alluring Lady whose dress is adorned with every star in the heavens. She is the mysterious one who whispers in darkness, and sings in her garden of red roses.
History: In the Zohar legend (taken from Mesopotamian beliefs), Lilith has more than one mythical origin: the commonly known in which she was the first human who turned into a demon, and the other where she and Samael began as one being before splitting in two. The latter is closest to the story she shared with me. She tells how Lucifer, the first-born god, had sacrificed half of his essence in order to have a twinflame. From this sacrifice, the Queen of Heaven manifested Lilith from her divine light. All the gods who saw her were in awe. Lucifer and Lilith fell deeply in love and married, there is no love that can match theirs as it flows through all creation. She is a duplicate of his divine essence (as Lucifer is connected to the Source) and shares in his unmatched beauty and wisdom.
Lilith was born as a goddess of unequaled beauty and splendour, united as one with the Queen of Heaven, and rules alongside Lucifer in their kingdom in Hell. Together, they have had many children whom are all beautiful and benevolent. Despite what the Zohar began saying, Lilith does not actually harm children and instead seeks to protect them. This was a misconception due to the night-demoness, Lilitu (part of the Mesopotamian “Lilin” group of Lilitu, Ardat Lili, and Lilu) being merged with the goddess Lamashtu. Lilith and Lilitu are slightly connected in essence, but Lilitu only has a small fragment of Lilith’s energy. She is one of Lilith’s minor aspects, one who acts as the Madam of the Succubi. Lilith however is not a succubi, especially since she primarily values romance and is devoted to her beloved. Overall, Lilith loves children and adores their innocence and potential. Yet she will leave them to fend mainly for themselves when they are old enough, so they can become strong and independent. This is the same as how she trains her followers, as she will have them fight for what they need while guiding them.
In ancient times, Lilith lived with Lucifer in their heavenly kingdom for hundreds of millions of years before the Usurper, Jehovah, took over the Earth and cast aside the other gods. Jehovah was an Aeonic deity (a creator god) who sought to claim the Earth and the Throne of the Universe as his own in order to gain more power. Lucifer began a rebellion against him with Lilith and many other gods, but all was in vain. After a traumatic war, their kingdom was destroyed by Jehovah, who then cast them into the nightmarish land of Hell. The gods who were banished to Hell had their essences change to become more dark and intense (which is why they developed dark wings and horns). Now as demons, Jehovah taught his human followers that these ancient gods were evil tempters and had them become known as their opposites (Lilith as infertility when she is life/motherhood, Lucifer as lies when he is truth, Mammon as greed when he is generosity, Beelzebub as gluttony when he is health, etc).
In Hell, Lucifer and Lilith are the High King and High Queen of their kingdom where they live in a desert wasteland of eternal twilight. There are some oases and flower gardens here, surrounding the dark castle where they live. There are grotesque scenes of corrupt souls being tortured in the distance and also an isle where Lilith tortures all the people (especially the monks) who lusted after her, other demons, or human children. Despite what many believe about Lilith, she hates being sexualized and does not represent loveless lust. She is a goddess of sex that comes with love and respect, of being appreciated and treated like an equal. She enjoys the pleasure of sexuality and unity, as well as the ability to bring new life into being. Lilith despises people who lust after her and disrespect her, especially since she is married.
Element: Fire, Akasha, Air, Water, Unity, and Void
Colours: Black and Wine Red
Sacred Number: 7
Day of Week: Friday
Appearance: Lilith is a beautiful and slender woman with very long, wavy black hair, black-red eyes, fair skin, regal but gentle facial features, red lips, elegant black horns, and large black feathered wings. She has a very classy and elegant sense of fashion and often wears black or wine-red dresses with elegant garnet jewelry. Her voice is very soothing and calm, but radiates power. Her presence is also extremely beautiful, radiating with love and ancient wisdom. In her true and formless form, Lilith is like an indescribable black-light, that shines with the brightness of a dark star. It shifts in complexity and beauty, similar to Lucifer’s true form.
Personality: Lilith is the Dark Mother who is deeply motherly, elegant, mysterious, charming, alluring, sophisticated, compassionate, wise, intelligent, and courageous. She is perfect in beauty- outside and in, and is full of incredible wonders. Lilith values truth, justice, illumination, self-empowerment, and free-will; no one can bring her down and she does her best to empower others as well. She is truly incredible and perfect, a radiant star of enlightenment and eternal love. Though she does indeed have a darker side, for during battles, she is terrifying and annihilating. She destroys all in her path and hates all corruption. When her family is harmed, she becomes terrifying in appearance and seeks vengeance. She is normally gentle, but is sadistic towards those she hates and is not afraid to destroy them. Lilith can be very dominating in these circumstances; her fury could shake the very earth.
Lilith also tends to view even monstrous-looking beings as beautiful. She is the enigmatic Matron of the Night and the unknowable creatures that would easily terrify humans with their appearances, as these she also views as her children and cradles them in her shadowy embrace. She loves many things, especially rose gardens, stars, the hours from dusk to dawn, classical music or opera, masquerade balls, romantic poetry, luxurious libraries, elegance, complex mind-games, chess, and sword-fighting. Lilith also tends to love dangerous or frightening animals that most people tend to hate; she sees the truth in them and fully accepts what they are. She is deeply nurturing yet is fully prepared to attack anyone who provokes her or her loved ones. Lilith is the beautiful red rose with thorns, the fearsome mother, and the merciful queen.
As Queen, Lilith is greatly revered and praised in Hell, for she is viewed as the ultimate and most perfect goddess. She is highly intelligent, compassionate, and loves knowledge; she strives to know everything. Her mind is vast and incredibly beautiful, and she deeply enjoys bestowing her knowledge unto others. As she represents rebirth, she is a goddess of the life that comes forth from death, signifying how one must “die” in order to be reborn stronger and gain Illumination. Due to her immense trauma from the past with the False God, Lilith has been through unspeakable pain and loss. But she rose through this, transforming and becoming stronger and wiser. She thus conquered her pain by mastering it, and can teach this wisdom of Rebirth to others. Lilith also stands to uphold justice and freedom, so any form of cruelty or oppression is never tolerated by her. Those who are tormented by the treacherous and cruel can call upon Lilith for her vengeance.
Her enn (for meditation or devotion): Renich Viasa Avage Lilith Lirach
What she can do: Lilith is an incredibly vast and powerful goddess who can help with many different things. Some examples include finding true love, empowerment, gaining resilience, becoming more independent, gaining wisdom, seeking Truth in the Darkness, acceptance of what cannot be changed, protection of innocents and those in need, healing from trauma, fertility, and undergoing rebirth. One thing that she will refuse to help with is love spells, since she is strongly against forcing someone to “fall in love” with you. This is against her values of free-will and true love.
Devotional Actions: She above all values the seeking of wisdom and undergoing a spiritual path. She deeply values when her devotees gain new knowledge and when they undergo spiritual awakening/evolution. Vent to her of your troubles and love her, for she values your love more than any material object. Additionally, stand up for yourself and others, gain courage, and be a warrior in the face of adversity. Like Lucifer, she also strongly advises her followers to study the Abrahamic texts so we can fully understand their deceit and oppression, and also how most of their myths were appropriated from polytheist religions.
Offerings: Red wine, rosé, champagne, pomegranate juice, rose lemonade, rose tea, hibiscus tea, chocolate, chili chocolate, liquor-filled chocolate, honey, pomegranates, chocolate-dipped pomegranate seeds, caviar, goat meat, chicken hearts, tarts, baklava, knafeh, seductive perfume, Midnight Dahlia perfume, Fiore del Dragone perfume, fancy jewelry (especially antique or with garnet), silver rings with garnet, red roses, black dahlias, dead red roses, garnets, silver chalices, animal bones, menstrual blood, dark masquerade masques, black high heels, swords, daggers, black feathers, snakeskin, rose lotions, red or black silk, black antique plumed fans, red candles, graveyard roses candle, Tenebre (Rosso) cards, antique jewelry boxes, silver hand-held mirrors, antique silver combs, devotional poetry, the Evenstar necklace, her sigil made from sterling silver, snake figurines, spider figurines.
