The Lilith Archetype represents a liberated woman who isn't afraid to cut ties with toxicity, speak her mind or make bold decisions.
She is the Dark Goddess of defiance and strength, refusing to bow down or neglect her needs to please anyone else’s.
In romance, she is a delicious thrill. There are many who pursue her to conquer her, but she can’t be tamed, and that forbidden quality is her most seductive one.
Even if people with this archetype don't seek attention, they always seem to attract it. Their aura and personality are just too magnetic to ignore.
Examples in Media: Rihanna, Megan Fox and Doja Cat.
The Lilith Archetype is represented by the tarot cards, the Queen of Wands and the Devil.
If this is your archetype, you are empowered from within' and refuse to follow any other commands but your own.
Many call it the 'left hand path' which is a path of freedom and self-knowledge. Like Lilith, you prefer to be separated from dogma and patriarchy. You would rather raise hell than comply with unsatisfying rules that oppose your values. You refuse to dumb yourself down or shrink yourself for anyone and your rebellious nature is inspiring, especially to other women. Like the Queen B, you are a natural leader and can easily gain a cult like following because of how much people respect your strong will. You will always stand up against injustice and aim to win.
A woman without a connection to her intuition is lost, powerless and gullible. Our intuition is our inner compass that connects us to the unseen forces, protects us from harm and guides us to victory. Never betray your inner self.

Mirrors were filled with symbolic meanings. The shiny round surface corresponded to the solar disk. Mirrors were also often decorated with other solar symbols, such as falcons. Handles most often depicted papyrus and the goddess Hathor.
A mirror was not only an object for grooming, but also an object of protection, love magic, and divination.

2. Sistrum (egyptian 𓏣, sššt or sḫm)
A temple rattle, intended mainly to appease the deity. A sekhem is the simpler, hoop-like sistrum, while sesheshet (an onomatopoeic word) is the naos-shaped one. Very often, the face of Hathor was depicted on the sistrums, showing that this was her ritual rattle.
Music played a huge role in temple rituals. Sistrums helped not only to appease the deity, but also to create music. It has a loud, piercing sound, reminding of itself in space.
Late Period, (664-332 BC)

3. Menat (egyptian 𓏠𓈖𓇋𓏏𓋧, mnj.t)
A set of beads with a counterpoise, also intended for pacification. But its sound was radically different from the sistrum. The sistrum has a very loud sound, while the menat has a quiet sound, reminiscent of the rustling of leaves.

The Octagram symbol is a star ideogram that commonly appears in ancient Babylonian iconography. The eight-pointed star is usually associated with ancient goddesses such as Ishtar, Innana, Isis and Venus. These goddesses were all seen as protectress of love, fertility, beauty, divine law and power.
The symbol was originally seen as a representation of the seven heavens ruled by the goddess and later became a representation of the planet Venus associated with fertility goddesses. The planet is the third brightest object in Earth's sky after the Sun and the Moon and in the past, it was referred to as the morning or evening star. In the Old Babylonian period, the planet Venus was known as Ninsi'anna translates to "divine lady, illumination of heaven".
In many myths, Inanna’s descend into the netherworld and return to the heavens may correspond with the movements of the planet Venus in the sky, setting in the West and then rising again in the East.
The discontinuous movements of Venus relate to both to the myth as well as Inanna's dual nature. Other theories recognize the story of Inanna's descent into the underworld as a reference to an astronomical phenomenon associated with retrograde Venus.
The symbol refers to the cosmic power of the goddess as ruler of sky and heavens and connected with the transcendental world. Her power stands in the mystery of magic and creation of the universe itself and for this reason the octagram became a powerful sigil used in antiquity as a devotional iconography connected with the goddess worshippers.
