Lilith
I’m sure you are thinking you have have no idea who Lilith is. Even if that’s true, I promise you have heard of her. Lilith Fair ring a bell? The all female music festival that started in 1997 – lead by Sarah McLachlan. Long story short, Sarah was told that having more than one female artists back to back on a line up or at concert wouldn’t sell…..cue Lilith…enter stage left…flashing that middle finger.
Lilith, who was Adam’s first wife in the Garden of Eden, was created along side of Adam as his equal. When Lilith had her own ideas about her desires, Adam didn’t like it so much. He wanted a submissive woman. One that would please only him and work to make him happy. So after a chat with God, Lilith was banned from the Garden of Eden. Eve was then created from Adam’s rib, signifying this submissive role that woman have played since Eve’s creation. Lilith was just forgotten…or was she? Hidden within us, this innate desire to do what we want. Please ourself. Do what is best for us. Oh, yes my love…..that is your Lilith.
I’m sure you have experienced your Lilith coming to surface. Ever been angry with a man? Felt brushed off by a man? Downplayed? Asking yourself “why can’t I…”? Or “who is he to tell me…”? Or “why do I always…”? That’s your Lilith! She’s the one in your soul that points these things out to you. Reminding you that you are indeed worthy of your every dream, wish, and desire. And that you only need your permission to do something. Want to leave the dishes in the sink until the next morning? Don’t feel like making the bed before you leave? Want to start a band? A business? Get married? Get divorced? Have children? Don’t have children? Run off and experience the world? Do whatever the hell you think you can! And answer to no one, except yourself. You make choices for YOU.
And it most certainly doesn’t have to be displeasure from a man only. There are many “Eve’s” out there who wholeheartedly belive you need a man’s permission or approval to do something. Woman who say, “Oh, I can’t do that, my husband/boyfriend/brother/father/grandfather/etc. would be mad/angry/upset/not understand. Middle finger emoji here!
Now, other than my married last name, I am not a Christian. I did grow up with a Christian background but it most certainly was not strict. Whether that lead me to being open to other religions and practices, I don’t know. But I do remember being 14 and my mom wanting me to attend church. I remember dreading having to go, knowing it would be a boring experience that I would get nothing from. Then hatching these questions of “why do I have to go”, “what purpose is it serving”, and “whose purpose is it serving”? My sweet Lilith emerging before I could even recognize her!
There are other instances where Lilith emerged. She has elways served me well even though I may have taken some wrong steps/paths along the way. Still, she always let’s me know when my needs/wants are not being met and that I need to do something. I might get bored with something, get angry, not care anymore, or have the desire to do something more.
Learning to work with her has had a major learning curve. Especially, when you are so fed up with something. You push your Lilith down too long and too hard. Now your mind has no clarity and you begin operating at your root chakra. No bueno. You end up hurting people operating like that, which is not Lilith’s intention. I had to chalk it up to a learning experience. I had to learn to understand myself better and also understand how I was also the problem.
So, if you are curious where your Lilith is, you can click here. On this page, I have a link to Cafe Astrology to find where, in your zodiac, Lilith is. I also have a Birth Chart calculator, that will tell you all kinds of astrological information about yourself (you will need the exact time of your birth, super important!) and a Sysnastry Chart calculator (if you are curious about you and your partners compatibility). I do earn a comission on purchased charts, but it is free to look at! And if you feel quite empowered after finding your Lilith, head to MY SHOP and get a mug! My Lilith is in Capricorn….so I tend to get super irritated when people are in the way of my livlihood, i.e. driving – I get very irritated with people on the road.
