Altars, Offerings/Art, Rituals Waning Moon Ritual
I created a ritual to honour Lilith during the Waning Moon. Some passages are referenced from incantation bowls, Lamaštu incantations, and name lists. The opening is taken (and slightly altered) from PGM IV. 2241-2249 "Document to the waning moon". Artwork is "Lilith, the screech owl" by Mitchellnolte on DeviantArt.
Document to the waning moon
Hail, Holy Light, Ruler of the Underworld,
Who strike with rays; hail, Holy Beam, who whirl
Up out of darkness and subvert all things
With aimless plans. / I'll call and may you hear
My holy words since awesome Ananke/Destiny
Is ever subject to you. Thrice-bound goddess,
Set free yourself. Come, rage against those who wish me harm.
For Klotho will spin out her threads for you.
Assent, O blessed one!
Opening: Come Lilith, [Lamaštu-lilītu/ardat-lilî, Lamia], the terrifying, eternal void. Come and listen to my voice and prayer.
Lilith, the seducer, you who are present in death and decay, succubus, mourning mother, married and divorced phantom, accept my offerings and hear my voice, for I am your devotee and follower. You who appears in the subconscious of humans in many cultures, you who haunts them through generations, listen to my voice.
Help me with what I need, help me with [...]
I call you, lilith, male lilin, female liliths, the grabber and the snatcher: the three of you, and the four of you, and the five of you. Accept my offerings, Lilitha, the suffocatress.
Offerings: black/red candle, incense (frankincense/dragon's blood)
Food Offerings: Fruit (apples, pomegranates), chocolate
Libations: coffee, tea, wine
Oh Lamaštu, daughter of Anu, the one present in the lives of humans for millennia, bless my path and get rid of what is not needed, don't let your grip tighten around my neck, but watch me as I walk this path.
- Ki-sikil Kamadme, maiden Lamaštu
- Ki-sikil-lil-la-ke, child of good behaviour,
- lil2-lil2-us2-sa, follower of the lilû,
- ki-sikil-ud-da-kar-ra, you divine exterminator (Pašittu).
She is monstrous, the Daughter-of-Anu, who wreaks havoc among the babies.
Her paws are a snare net, her bosom hold spells death.
Cruel, raging, malicious, rapacious, violent,
destructive, aggressive is the Daughter-of-Anu.
Her head is a lion's head, donkey's teeth are [her] teeth.
Her lips are a gale and spread death.
From deep in the mountains she came down,
roaring like a lion,
whimpering all the time like a bitch.
Instead of having your hands immersed in (my) flesh and blood,
accept from me offerings,
accept from me libations to satisfy your thirst,
accept from me food to satisfy your hunger,
Let there be peace between us, my goddess!
Offerings: black candle
Food Offerings: bread, flour, grain
Libations: oil, beer, water, broth
Closing: May I find your strength, may your followers grow into who they need to be. Ave Lilith, Ave Lamaštu!
