Queen Lilith

[tinhuvielartanis]

She was a handmaiden to the Goddess Inanna, whom is quite prevalent in my life at the moment, preparing myself to walk into the Underworld and strip myself of everything that bears me down. It is Lilith's fair hand that I need to help me struggle through it. She has always been an important Goddess to me, being the patron of Other Women and Angry Women and Independent Women. The Patriarchy just didn't know what they were doing when they demonised the gentle bird Goddess who dwelt in trees and sang to the stars.

falkenna gave me a lapel pin some time back that was an image of the the Goddess Lilith, representing her bird feet, her wings, her holding of the staff of eternity, and her permission to the wise serpent to entwine around her body. The lion and owl are not present in the image, but I like to think they're there nonetheless.

As I don't wear lapel pins and such, I was was at a loss of what to do with Lilith....until yesterday. I took a piece of wood and pierced Lilith into the heart of it. I then drew the sea and shore upon which she cavorted with Yahweh's demons until Sanoi, Sansenoi, and Samangelof were sent to bully her into submission, which she refused. I extended her crown to be an aura (which all Goddesses have auras to me, thanks to Xanadu into the night in which she now dwells and surrounded her with the stars so beloved of her when she served as Inanna's handmaiden.

This, now, shall be my Goddess Image upon my altar.



Happy birthday to everyone I'm missing. My deepest apologies.

OH, wow..that is wonderful! Beautiful work, babe. The best altar pieces are the ones we create ourselves, and imbue with our own energies. May she bless you always. *hug*

That's what breaks my heart about losing my pentacle. If I can find a picture of it, I'll post it here soon.

Thank you!

I'm curious - have you ever found out where Lilith is in your astrology chart? There are 3 Liliths in an astrological chart : an asteroid that represents Lilith, a black moon Lilith and a Dark Moon Lilith. Might be interesting.

There is a yahoo group that discusses these points in a chart and what they represent, if you are interested in more info: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/3Liliths/

also this page is very interesting - the plaque looks like yours: http://www.lilitu.com/lilith/

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

Aye, that's the full plaque of ancient times. Lovely, isn't it? I'll have to check out that comm once I have my computer back. Will you remind me in about 3 weeks? I have no brain.

She's an angel!

I hope I find out more about that which communicates with me and that which has been going into my soul.

It definately has a connection with the Pleiades. You have any info on gods/angels from the Pleiades?

According to Zechariah Zitchin, Lilith was one of the genetic scientists that helped create Humanity.

[princegold.livejournal.com]

According to David Icke she was the first human-god hybrid. Or maybe I am confused and she was Adam's mother.

But I have heard various things.

I am very sorry I gave away my Lilith Fair concert t-shirt to someone who didn't, in retrospect, deserve it. I should have given it to you.

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's okay. I was so overloaded with Lilith Fair stuff at BMG, I fairly wanted to throttle Sarah MacLachlan! LOL

[electrablue.livejournal.com]

It's lovely!

Thank you. You know that, according to Talmudic legend, Lilith was the first Vampire. You could be looking at Marlow's dear old mammie here.

[electrablue.livejournal.com]

Back when I was A Better Witch I used to know a fair deal about Lilith. I wonder if Marlow was nice to his mom or if he was one of those bad kids you see on Court TV.

omigawd, there's a Judge Judy tale there, in the vein of 'Maul vs. Kenobi.' Darn not having my 'puter. Darn it all to heck!

[evcelt.livejournal.com]

That is beautiful and powerful. Good luck on the journey.

[scbearmike.livejournal.com]

So beautiful! I love that She is the juncture between Land, Sea, and Sky.

I don't know how I missed this post, so I apologize for the late response.

It's lovely what you've done with the pin. Nice incorporation of her elements and motifs. :)

I think it was a discussion about the dark aspect goddesses that got you and me talking in the first place as I recall. Lilith is one of my patrons as well. I don't know if you've checked out Sacred Source (http://sacredsource.com), but they have a nice selection of goddess statues, including some of Lilith. And at reasonable prices.
I've been meaning to invest in a few more smaller statuary for the soon-to-be erected altar.
