 Lilith is the liberator of women.
She is the patron of strong women and a Goddess of women’s rights.
Lilith represents sexual liberation and sex for pleasure. She is the
exaltation of the feminine divine. Lilith also stands for abortion rights
and birth control. She is also known to help women in childbirth.

A female DEMON of the night and SUCCUBUS who flies about searching for newborn children to
kidnap or strangle and sleeping men to seduce in order to produce demon children.

Lilith is a major figure in Jewish demonology, appearing as early as 700 B.C.E. in the book of Isaiah;
she or beings similar to her also are found in myths from other cultures around the world.

She is the dark aspect of the Mother Goddess.

In addition to Jewish folklore, Lilith appears in various forms in Iranian, Babylonian, Sumerian,
Canaanite, Per- sian, Arabic, Teutonic, Mexican, Greek, English, Asian, and Native American legends.
She is sometimes associ- ated with other characters in legend and myth, including the queen of
Sheba and Helen of Troy.

In medieval Europe, she was often portrayed as the wife, concubine, or grandmother of SATAN.

Lilith appears in different guises in various texts. She is best known as the first wife of Adam, created
by God as twins joined in the back. Lilith demanded equality with Adam and, failing to get it, left him
in anger. Adam complained to God that his wife had deserted him. God sent three angels, Sanvi,
Sansanvi, and Semangelaf, to take Lilith back to Eden. The angels found her in the Red Sea and
threatened her with the loss of 100 of her demon children every day unless she returned to Adam.
She refused and was punished. Lilith took revenge by launching a reign of terror against women in
childbirth, newborn infants—particularly males—and men who slept alone. She was forced,
however, to swear to the three angels that whenever she saw their names or im- ages on an amulet,
she would leave infants and mothers alone.

After the Fall, Adam spent 130 years separated from Eve, during which Lilith went to him and
satisfied him during sleep. They had a son, who became a frog.

The earliest account of Lilith appears in a midrash, Alpha Bet Ben Sira, which attempts to resolve the
discrepan- cies in the Torah about the creation of Lilith in Genesis, followed by the creation of Eve
just a few passages later. In the midrash, God created Lilith in the same way as he did Adam, but he
used filth and impure sediment instead of dust from the earth. Adam and Lilith were at odds with
each other from the beginning, and she refused to lie be- neath him during intercourse. When she
saw that Adam would gain power over her, she uttered the ineffable name of God and flew off to a
cave in the desert near the Red Sea. There, as queen of Zemargad or queen of the desert, she
engaged in promiscuity, including with demons, and gave birth to 100 demonic offspring called lilim
every day. The daughters all practice SORCERY, seduction, and strangling.

She became the bride of SAMAEL, the DEVIL (in some accounts called Ashmodai, or ASMODEUS), in a
union ar- ranged by the Blind Dragon, an entity who has been cas- trated so that his offspring will not
overcome the world. The lilim are hairy beings, having hair everywhere on their faces and bodies
except their heads.

In a text preceding the Zohar, Lilith and Samael are born joined as androgynous twins from an
emanation be- neath the throne of glory. They are the lower aspects of another androgynous twin,
Adam and Eve.

In the Zohar, Lilith arises from an evil shell or husk, a KELIPPAH, that is created in the waning of the
Moon. In the beginning, the Sun and Moon were equal, and this created a rivalry. To end it, God
diminished the Moon and made it rule the night. Lilith’s powers are at their peak when the Moon is
dark. She is the seducer of men and the strangler of children; the latter role is sometimes attributed
to NAAMAH.

Lilith, who has the upper body of a beautiful woman and a lower body of fire, carries the fiery
resentment of the Moon. Lilith lurks under doorways, in wells, and in latrines, waiting to seduce men.
She is adorned with the “ornaments for seduction”: Her hair is long and red like the rose, her cheeks
are white and red, from her ears hang six ornaments, Egyp- tian cords and all the ornaments of the
Land of the East hang from her nape. Her mouth is set like a nar- row door comely in its decor, her
tongue is sharp like a sword, her words are smooth like oil, her lips are red like a rose and sweetened
by all the sweetness in the world. She is dressed in scarlet and adorned with forty ornaments less
one.

Men who sleep alone are especially vulnerable to Lilith. The Zohar also describes Lilith as a female
aspect of LEVIATHAN, who has a SERPENT body. She is Leviathan, the Tortuous Serpent, the
counterpart to the male aspect, Leviathon, the Slant Serpent. Lilith is the serpent who tempts Eve
with the apple of forbidden knowledge in paradise and thus instigates the Fall. She also persuades
Eve to seduce Adam while she is menstruating and impure.

The numerical value of Lilith’s name equals the Hebrew word for “screech.” Thus, Lilith is the “demon
of screech- ing” and “the princess of screeching” and is personified as a screech owl. In legend, on
the Day of Atonement, Lilith spends the day in a screeching battle with MAHALATH, a concubine to
Samael. They taunt each other so much that the very earth trembles. Also on the Day of Atonement,
Lilith goes forth into the desert with 420 LEGIONs of her demons, and they march about while she
screeches.

Lilith is also known as Lady of the Beasts, who rules the wilderness and all beasts, the animal side of
human nature.

l9901796.dgl506819112.docx
In her guise as the queen of Sheba, she attempted to seduce King SOLOMON. He discovered her true
nature by having the DJINN build a throne room with a floor of glass. Lilith mistook it for water and
raised her garments in order to cross it to his throne. Her hairy, bestial legs were revealed in the
reflection of the glass.

AMULETs and INCANTATION BOWLs traditionally protected new mothers and infants against Lilith.
Common amulets were knives and hands inscribed with CHARMs; some had bells attached. Frogs
also protect against her. Male infants were vulnerable for the first week of life, girls for the first three
weeks. Sometimes a magic circle was drawn around the lying-in bed, with a charm inscribed with the
names of the three angels, Adam and Eve, and the words barring Lilith or protect this newborn child
from all harm. Sometimes amulets with such inscriptions were placed in all corners of and
throughout the bedchamber. If a child laughed in its sleep, it was a sign that Lilith was present.
Tapping the child on the nose made the demon go away.

According to lore, men who had nocturnal emissions believed they had been seduced by Lilith during
the night and had to say incantations to prevent the offspring from becoming demons. Any seed
spilled during sex, even marital sex, is at risk for becoming lilim.

WARNING WHEN WORKING WITH LILITH:

1. Do not place Lilith with the demon (Malgaras. In Jewish demonology, a powerful female
DEMON.) Makhlath (dancer) and her daughter, AGRATH, are in constant warfare with LILITH.
Makhlath commands 478 hosts of evil spirits. She and Agrath meet Lil- ith and battle on the
Day of Atonement. While they quarrel, the prayers of Israel are able to rise to heaven.

1. 2, Naamah works with Lilith. In kabbalistic lore, one of four angels of prostitution, a DEMON,
and a partner of SAMAEL. Naamah means “pleasing.” Naamah is the mother of the great
demon ASMODEUS and other demons. She seduces men and spirits and, with LILITH, causes
epilepsy in children.

2. Lilith is not one to be summoned without experience. She appears to whom she chooses on
her own.

Many seek to summon Lilith in order to gain her wisdom, heal their ailments, or reap the benefits of
her other perceived powers. Those who successfully summon Lilith experience a full spectrum of
interactions - from frustration to empowerment. Practitioners shouldn’t enter into the rituals lightly
or with a lack experience in dealing with divine entities.

No matter which invocation or summoning ritual you choose, the first step to successfully call Lilith is
meditation. Some suggest meditating with her sigil to build a bond between yourself and the dark
goddess.

When calling out to deities or demons, meditation also assists in strengthening the summoner to
allow for a calm and controlled environment. Relaxation, focus on the task at hand, and a centering
of one’s self provide a safer experience during the ritual.

Most internet searches for writing letters to demons method relate to succubi, but should work for
Lilith as well. Some suggest utilizing a piece of black paper and a pencil to simply state the reasoning
for calling out to Lilith.

l9901796.dgl506819112.docx
Next, speak an incantation before drawing a small amount blood from a finger - just enough to
spatter the letter with a few drops. Immediately place the blood-stained letter into a fire-safe bowl or
container and set it alight.

Lilith’s sigil allows a summoner to connect with the demon goddess on a subconscious level. It is also
used within rituals to encourage her appearance.

The sigil is a key component of one ritual that should be performed on a Monday while the moon is
out. This summoning also requires black candles, offerings of liquor and incense, and chanting to call
out to Lilith.

The Lylet Mirror comes from the Munich Handbook of Necromancy; a source for conjuring black
magick and evil entities. The mirror is enchanted by pronouncing a specific invocation before starting
to assemble the magical object.

Once the base mirror is constructed, the summoner should etch or paint the names of powerful
entities and seals around its edges. Placing Lilith’s name in the center of the mirror is the last step
before moving to the location of the ritual - a crossroads or “sepulcher of some murdered person.”

On the evening of “a day of Mars or Saturn,” the summoner speaks an invocation to call out to Lilith
at the chosen location before returning home via a new route. The actual interaction takes place on
another night when the summoner returns to the location with their mirror to ask questions.

Altars filled with items that appeal to Lilith strengthen one’s ability to call to her. Some have found
she appreciates liquor while other ritual recipes specify wine. Most agree incense assists in conjuring
her, noting scents of musk, jasmine, dragon’s blood, and sandalwood work best.

Demons and Demonolatry adds the demon goddess prefers flowers such as hibiscus,
chrysanthemum, and roses. These flowers can join with other natural objects like pumpkins,
cinnamon, and almonds.

Crystals can further lure Lilith into the mortal realm. The crystals and gemstones mentioned in
relation to her include onyx, moonstones, diamonds, and obsidian.

Tantric Pagans suggest waiting until the full moon of the month - but only after 28 days of meditation
to prepare. Some sources claim Lilith’s powers change with the phases of the moon. Her association
with lunar cycles and nickname Goddess of the New Moon suggest she gains strength during these
times of the month.

Lilith’s connection to the moon and her escape from the dominating Adam into the wilderness cause
many practitioners to focus on those motifs for their rituals. Tantric Pagans follow a summoning
recipe that takes the user into a forest at night to call out for Lilith.

If needed, dark rooms can stand in for the wilds of the outdoors while the finer points of the ritual
remain. Light red and black candles before chanting “Marag Ama Lilith Rimok Samalo Naamaah” 13
times.

The summoner should provide red wine and their own blood to Lilith while filling the air with the
fragrance of musk incense. While in the woods, the natural sounds of the night suffice as background
noise. If the ritual is indoors, moody, dark music is preferred.

l9901796.dgl506819112.docx
Those who devote most of their spiritual energy to Lilith find an altar assists in calls to the demon
goddess. The altar is a permanent fixture that holds the essence of the deity’s energy with favored
objects, providing followers a stronger bond with her.

Tantric Pagans’ altar contains a statue of Lilith sat atop a table with a black cloth spread across the
surface it. A chalice is also on the table to hold offering liquids while black and red candles wait to
ignite during the ritual. Musk incense - one of Lilith’s preferred fragrances - is also present.

In some versions of the ritual, Lilith’s Hebrew name should be written in ink and blood on the palm of
the summoner’s left hand. Optionally, one can also mark their right palm with the Hebrew name of
Lilith’s partner, Samael, and call to him as well.

Pour an offering of red wine into a chalice and place it on the altar containing Lilith’s sigil flanked by
red and black candles. Recite an invocation before consuming the wine and moving to a prone
position to relax and receive Lilith.

A ritual created by Jospeh Max and Lilith Darkchilde requires multiple participants and the
nomination of Main and Secondary Operators (MO and SO) for safety. They also specify the use of
music described as “ominous” and “sexual” for the background of the proceedings.

Black candles, a chalice of red wine, and a tool for providing a blood offering should be present as
well. The group follows the lead of the MO in a dark room filled with the aroma of musk incense as
she - a female is preferable - calls out to Lilith.

Lilith is strongly connected to femininity, which is why women are best-suited for the role of MO. The
demon is also linked closely with sexuality, explaining the music for the ritual.

Heather Rae of Modern Goddess Living shared her Lilith ritual for tapping into the energy of the new
moon while also gaining the benefits of the demon’s powers. The process begins with a cleansing
bath containing Lilith’s favored jasmine oil while the practitioner decides on their hopes for the
ritual.

After changing into clothes meant to make one feel sensual, Rae uses an altar filled with offerings of
red wine, chocolate, and flowers. Red candles are present as well, with the option to include other,
similarly-colored items in the mix.

The ritual continues with meditation to slough off the past and set forth new goals for the future.
After spirited dancing and the use of Chakras, Rae allows the new energy from Lilith to envelop her.

l9901796.dgl506819112.docx
Lilith's role as Adam's first wife became part of the Jewish tradition when she was mentioned in a
midrash, a text that interprets and explains Hebrew scriptures. The midrash elaborated on
inconsistencies in the Book of Genesis: In Genesis 1, man and woman are created at the same time,
but then Genesis 2 establishes Eve as the product of Adam's rib. To reconcile these diverging
accounts, there must have been another woman in Adam's life.

Enter: Lilith. She was depicted as Adam's first wife in the Alphabet of Ben Sira, a work that became
part of Jewish tradition sometime around the year 1000 CE. According to this interpretation, their
marriage eventually failed and she left, prompting God to create Eve.

Lilith appears in the Bible only once, and it's not even by name. In Isaiah 34:14, the author refers to
the "night bird," "night monster," or "nocturnal creature," depending on which translation of the
Bible you're reading.

When the Book of Isaiah mentions a nefarious night creature living among the ruins, Biblical scholars
believe the passage is referring to Lilith.

Lilith was likely derived from the ancient Sumerian myth of lilitu - the demon spirits of men and
women who passed young. Lilith's more horrific aspects can be traced back to Lamashtu , the
daughter of the Mesopotamian sky god Anu. Lamashtu was said to slay children and feast on men.

Lilith also appears in The Epic of Gilgamesh , on a tablet dated to roughly 2000 BCE. There she is a
demon that Gilgamesh forces to flee and take refuge in a desolate area, an element that remains
consistent in her tale over time.

The Dead Sea Scrolls, a group of some 800 texts discovered in the 1940s and 1950s on the West Bank
near the Dead Sea, mention Lilith. The scrolls include Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek prayers, legal
documents, biblical writings, and apocryphal works.

Lilith is referred to in the "Song for a Sage," which was possibly a hymn used during exorcisms:

l9901796.dgl506819112.docx
 “And I, the Sage, sound the majesty of His beauty to terrify and confound all the spirits of
destroying angels and the bastard spirits, the demons, Lilith... and those that strike
suddenly, to lead astray the spirit of understanding, and to make desolate their heart.”

Some historical texts and various works of art suggest that Lilith is the serpent in the Garden of Eden.

Michelangelo's painting in the Sistine Chapel depicting "The Fall of Man," for example, features a
figure with the body of a woman and the tail of a serpent wrapped around a tree, which some
suggest represents Lilith.

A Kabbalah text describes Lilith as the serpent:

“And the Serpent, the Woman of Harlotry, incited and seduced Eve through the husks of
Light which in itself is holiness... For Evil Lilith, when she saw the greatness of [Adam's]
corruption, became strong in her husks, and came to Adam against his will, and became hot
from him and bore him many demons and spirits and Lilin.”

If Lilith was Adam's first wife as described in Genesis 1, she was created from the earth just as he
was, ostensibly making them equals. According to the Alphabet of Ben Sira, this equality was the
problem that drove Lilith and Adam apart. When Adam insisted that Lilith perform her wifely duties
and assume a submissive role, she responded that she would not.

l9901796.dgl506819112.docx
Lilith insisted, "The two of us are equal, since we are both from the earth," and they ended up
quarreling.

Because Lilith refused to be subservient and abandoned Adam , she sealed her fate as the ultimate
female villain. After three angels told Lilith that 100 of her children would expire each day if she
didn't return to Adam, Lilith claimed she was "created only to cause sickness to infants. If the infant is
male, I have dominion over him for eight days after his birth, and if female, for 20 days." But Lilith
would spare children who had the names of certain angels - Sanoy, Sansenoy, and Samangelof -
written on amulets to protect them.

Through this tale, Lilith's role grew among the myths people used to explain pain, sorrow, and
unfortunate events. Just like her Babylonian counterparts, Lilith became known as the perpetrator of
child deaths.

In keeping with Babylonian representations of Lilith, the Talmud builds on the tradition of her evil,
seductive ways. Completed during the sixth and seventh centuries, the Talmud portrays Lilith as a
long-haired, winged demon who assaults men while they sleep.

The Talmud even depicts Lilith vexing Adam during the years he spent separated from Eve - a time
during which Adam became the father of "ghosts and male demons and female demons."

Incantation bowls, designed to incapacitate demons, were popular throughout the ancient world,
especially in Persia. Jews also used incantation bowls to exorcise demons, though not as often as
their Mesopotamian neighbors. As a night demon - one that brought about death and temptation to
children and men - Lilith appeared on numerous bowls.

The inscription on one incantation bowl describes Lilith as follows:

“The evil Lilith,

who causes the hearts of men to go astray
and appears in the dream of the night
and in the vision of the day,
Who burns and casts down with nightmare,
attacks and kills children,
boys and girls.”

l9901796.dgl506819112.docx
On another bowl, the inscription reads: "Cut off the king of the demons... the great ruler of the
liliths."

In the Zohar, the core book of Kabbalah, Lilith continues to be portrayed as a dark temptress. In
addition to strangling children, she uses the "nocturnal emissions" of men to bear demonic children
of her own.

The Zohar, a 13th-century text, draws heavily on earlier Talmudic works and asserts that Lilith even
tried to seduce King Solomon by disguising herself as the Queen of Sheba. Her efforts are thwarted
when she is discovered to be a hairy imposter.

In the Zohar, Lilith also becomes a fearsome queen alongside Satan.

The Alphabet of Ben Sira, a work produced sometime between the eighth and 10th centuries CE,
offers a more in-depth explanation of what happened between Adam and Lilith. Other accounts
describe Adam having a wife before Eve, but the Alphabet gives her a name and describes their
falling-out.

By providing background on Lilith, Jewish scholars not only clarified the Book of Genesis, but also
explained how and why Lilith had been the target of harsh treatment for centuries.

Although Lilith has been identified as a demon, seductress, and scapegoat throughout history, in
modern times, women's movements starting in the 1970s have embraced her as a feminist and role
model.

Proponents of this view see Lilith as an independent woman who makes her own choices - including
selection of her sexual partners - and controls her own destiny.

Lilith Magazine, a Jewish feminist publication founded in 1976, was named after her.

NEW MOON RITUAL WITH LILITH

1. Take a ritual cleansing bath, infused with oils of jasmine and bergamont (a few rose petals
wouldn't hurt, either!) Set your intentions, allowing the water to cleanse and release
anything keeping you from seeing your Divine radiance and grace. The water element is
deeply connected with the moon, and ourselves being made of mostly water allows our
interconnection to be that much stronger.

2. Put something on that makes you feel sensual, material that is pleasing to the touch. From
simple sexy panties, or perhaps nothing at all! Do this for yourself, it's not for anyone else-
unless you chose it to be so.

3. If you'd like to set up an altar for Lilith you can include red wine, dark chocolate and ruby red
or maroon candles, cloths or jewelry-this color represents the wise blood of the woman
(even if we are no longer bleeding in our moon cycles) and the magic that resides within. I've
also included a picture of her sacred serpent and her flower, the lily, but the rose and poppy
are said to be among her favorites as well.

4. Sit in meditation to shed any layers, offer yourself healing and embrace the quiet energy of
the dark moon. Draw the darkness into yourself to transform into light and illuminate any
new path you set for yourself. Awaken into your most sacred self and offer a new way to see
yourself as Divine, magical and confident.

5. In a seated position, ground down through the hips and allow just the rib cage to shift from
side to side, then in circles. Moving slowly, perhaps with eyes closed, feel the rhythm of the
body moving in a fluid, flowing motion......moon energy is soft, nurturing. Spend some time
here to connect with your fluidity and grace thought movement.

6. Find yourself on hands and knees (what us yogis call table top) and pretend you have a paint
brush attached to the end of your tail bone, with eyes closed imagine drawing a circle on the
wall behind you with that paint brush. Slow moving circles, feeling the movement of the
pelvis sweeping to one side, then to the other-awakening your sacral and solar plexus
Chakras. The sacral or Svadhisthana Chakra is an energy center located just below the navel.
Known as the sweetness, it's the seat of our desires, pleasures, intimacy and sensuality. The
solar plexus or Mani Pura Chakra is located above the navel and governs our self confidence
and self-esteem. Spend as much time as you'd like here to activate this sacred energy.

7. Put on some music that moves you, and simply move. Dance, spin, stomp and flail about with
primordial energy allowing any energy shifts to take place to awaken into a new confident
and sensual you.

Literally dance like no one's watching!

8. Should you partake, enjoy some of the red wine and dark chocolate as you sit once again.
Eyes closed, falling back into that quiet space and let that new energy quell within your very
being.
