14: Lilith: The First Woman, Mother of Demons, Whisperer of Rebellion

  • Resumen

  • This week's episode is all about the goddess, Lilith.
    Lilith is a fascinating figure who has taken on many forms throughout history. Here's a breakdown of her key characteristics:

    • Origins: Her roots are murky, possibly linked to Mesopotamian demon figures called lilitu.
    • Jewish Mythology: In Jewish folklore, she's often depicted as:
      • Adam's first wife, created equally from the earth (contrasting with Eve created from his rib).
      • A rebellious figure who refused to be subservient and left the Garden of Eden.
      • A night demon associated with sexuality, sometimes depicted as harming children.
    • Later Interpretations: Modern interpretations offer a more nuanced view:
      • A symbol of female independence and strength.
      • Representing untamed aspects of femininity, sexuality, and primal power.
      • A source of empowerment and connection with the wild feminine.
    • Depictions: Varies widely, sometimes shown with wings, long hair, or a serpent-like form.
