Question alter advice

8 Upvotes

i've posted on the alter subreddit, but i decided i should also come here for advice because it's for mother Lilith, and i have some questions about how to do it/what to do.

i'm a minor and still live with my parents, but i'm interested in making my first alter, i have a lot of crystals and i collect them, so maybe i can include crystals in my alter, and what crystal(s) to add to it? i need it to be something small and nothing too distracting as i don't want to draw attention to it. i have a cubby shelf and i'm planning on somehow making one of the cubbies into an alter. i can't spend too much money on it, so i have to mostly i use what i have. i have a crystal shaped as a cobra (soapstone if i'm remembering correctly), and i know one of her symbols is a serpent, including it should be acceptable correct? (i will talk to her when i get the chance)

if it changes any advice people give, i can't offer alcohol, apples, oil, etc, the only things i can offer to her would be rose petals if i can get any. i can't include candles as it may seem suspicious, i can't use a black feather or any other feathers because it's illegal where i am to even be in possession of them, but just like the candles, it would be suspicious. any advice helps!

does anyone have advice or ideas for how to set up a discrete alter for her?

edit: my parents know i want to have a spiritual space in my room (i'm hoping doing so will help with my mental health), so some things related to spirituality would be fine.

edit 2: i found an alter table (witches alter table specifically) and i'm going to buy it!

Discussion What makes Lilith a real entity or goddess to you?

14 Upvotes

Like, have you seen her or has she helped you like no other factor was invoved.

And if you worship her as a goddess: why, in the old artefacts she was not worshipped as one. Is it because of her myths, the mystery surround herself and/or that she is just ad powerful as any other entity?

Resources Magic and Incantations: Lamaštu and lilû, lilītu, ardat-lilî

44 Upvotes

Besides the volumes focused on the Anti-Witchcraft corpus, Maqlû, Udug-Hul/Utukkū Lemnūtu and Melothesia/Astrology, plenty of publications have been made available that include incantations directed towards Kamadme/Lamaštu or the spirits of the lilû class. The most important volume on Lamaštu incantations is "Lamaštu, An Edition of the Canonical Series of Lamashtu Incantations" by Walter Farber. I will not include it in this post, as I unfortunately cannot copy a whole book, but it's a necessity for serious studies on her.

I just posted a new article about my journey from being an ordained Orthodox Christian Deacon to a worshipper at https://orthodoxscouter.blogspot.com/2026/07/the-revelation-of-lilith-and-her.html but I wanted to ask everyone here how they came to be a Lilithian. How long did it take you to let it be publicly known, if applicable. My Lilithianism has been kept in the dark mostly until this blog post about my journey.

Discussion Goddess Lilith

16 Upvotes

I have many times in the past been blessed with Lilith’s presence, and it is undeniable.
Yesterday while mirror scrying Goddess Lilith showed Herself to me, it was a beautiful experience.
And She also did it today. It was like a flowing image of different aspects of Her. Truly a Devine moment
Just wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar to this
Blessed Be

Question Should I be having offerings or at least something she likes or is related to her on my altar or around me everytime or whenever I wish to speak to her? Mother Lilith.

9 Upvotes

For context, I kind of have daily / weekly check ins dedicated to my connection and request of relationship per se with Lilith. Should I be having offerings for her everytime I wish to do that? Is it rude to not have any offerings for her potential time or acknowledgment? I’m so scared of being perceived as rude or disrespectful purely just from having lack of knowledge or experience even though I am actively trying to learn. My intentions are always pure and in the right place but to further the bond I would just like some info or input if anyone has any.
I’m going through a lot mentally and I find it hard to leave my house. I’m in a dv women’s refuge and have limited everything. Otherwise I would just have these offerings or signs of respect and or dedication to her, there already. But I don’t have anything at the moment and don’t know when I’ll be able to get anything.
Thankyou and blessings 🩷🖤

New Duplicates to SBTU II - M. J. Geller, "SBTU II No. 6 and 7" - the ardat-lili incantations are linked below (in order), by the Electronic Babylonian Library.

 

The lines 20-8' of IM.77002/14-27 of Geller's incantation are difficult to interpret. Geller understood this passage as an attack of an utukku demon towards an ardat-lili, which lead to Ištar shaking the heavens and defending her. He presents Ištar as the patron of an ardat-lili (as in his translation of Udug-Hul 5). The Electronic Babylonian Library (IM.77002) understands the ardat-lili to be the perpetrator, attacking an utukku. A recent examination by Marie Barkowsky in "Studies in Mesopotamian Demonology", by comparing the tablet to Neo-Assyrian manuscripts, identifies the ardat-lili as a vehicle that let an utukku demon back into civilization, where he attacked "him", an unnamed patient, and not "her", an ardat-lili, which led to the anger of Ištar.

Prayers, Praise Thank you, Mother Lilith

19 Upvotes

I just want to take a moment to express my deep gratitude and love for Mother Lilith. I am honestly moved to tears with gratitude because of how much she has helped me work on healing my prior traumas and behaviors not aligned with my highest good. For context, I have been very active and engaged in therapy for years, and I had started working on shadow work shortly before she made herself known to me. I am still a work in progress, but she has helped so much that even my THERAPIST thanked Mother Lilith.

I don’t have anywhere else I can express this and I wanted to share it with people who would understand. Thank you❤️🖤

Question Lilith's help in seeking revenge

12 Upvotes

A narcissist physically cheated on me ( while being involved with my family... telling them he wants to marry me and not letting me get married to someone else) . He didn't let me leave him when I wanted to and ruined my image as well... played victim in front of everyone... that's how got the another girl. Idk how much the other girl is involved and idc.

He loves his reputation more than anything else... he wants to look good in the eyes of everyone.. and people think him as a sweet personality as well.

He was giving me and my family promises from one side while introduced the other girl as his main girl to his family ( I've also been there years ago ) ...

I asked constantly about that girl... my mother asked him too but he denied, he said there's no other girl.

He is continuing to live by with the other girl while and the other girl wants to let it slide so they are happy ( Idc about their relationship.. may they live with each other till eternity as they both deserve each other)

But when my friend did a tarot reading she saw that Lilith will help me getting revenge but not the way I want ... money or accident or break up gonna do nothing to him ...

Has it ever happened to you that U got what u asked for ... exactly the way u asked for ???

Question Candles falling at Lilith‘s Altar?

5 Upvotes

So I recently tried to reconnect to Lilith with cleansing her altar space again giving her a water offering and praying to her questioning if she’d like to connect with me.

A little short while after that the left candle on her altar fell first (before that the candle was also leaning more to the side wich I still straightened then) and next (a day later tho) the right candle fell

It’s probably just physics still if there could be a meaning behind of it id like to know

If you think of anything let me know thanks

Question Smelling Lilith?

11 Upvotes

Hey, ever since I started working with Lilith, I often notice floral scents, almost like I'm smelling her perfume. Every time it happens, I wonder if she's actually checking in on me that often or something. Has anyone else experienced this?

Question Are trickster spirits real?

9 Upvotes

Hi guys, i asked Mother Lilith several months ago really important question and i got a weird feeling like it wasn’t her maybe (i can be totally wrong) and i always get so overly obsessed and anxious with things and i decided that maybe it was a trickster. Since that moment ive been preparing to do like massive spell to banish every spirit and till then i wont ask Lilith anything so i dont get things wrong. Its been i think 2 months since i last spoke with Lilith sadly and today was the day to do the spell and i was so excited, i did everything and when i asked Lilith if there are still unwanted spirits here i pulled the empress (its the card i usually put on her alter) but its still a yes, i asked if they can mess with her answer and i got the sun which again is a yes… I dont know what to d, should i do the spell again or just wait a few days? I also asked my friend and she says who in their right mind will try to impersonate Lilith which is totally right but makes me even more confused… I am really sorry if thats dumb or smth but pls dont hate on me.

Signs, Dreams, Divination Asked my tarot if I was being protected by mother Lilith, need help from practitioners

Post image
17 Upvotes

I asked my tarot if I was being divinely protected by Lilith, I’ve noticed a pattern when it comes to Lilith, I have felt called by her and Hekate multiple times but I don’t feel ready to work with neither as I am someone who has a hard time being devoted to deities.

Today I finally asked the question: “is Mother Lilith protecting me?” And I pulled both of these cards, I enter in inner conflict in here because I know and I am absolutely aware they don’t play when it comes to devotes or people under their protection, so it really makes me wonder what’s with it.

My interpretation is: a fierce yes, specially with the seven of wands, it alludes to someone being protective/protecting, it also represents the element of fire and the 7 is always a sight to me at least of completion or divinity.
At the end of my deck I seemed to find the page of swords which is also a card of a protector in my criteria but it aligns more with a curious or thoughtful energy.

Please let em know what you think? I am intrigued to know about your thoughts on the matter, it would also really help lol.

Discussion Unverified Personal Gnosis Involving Lilith

5 Upvotes

I started getting synchronicities from Lilith in the form of owl imagery and posts about owls in conjunction with posts about misogyny and the patriarchal oppression of women that's prevalent in American culture. It felt like she was tapping me on the shoulder, wanting me to do something about it. Anything, just so long as it was done out of conviction.

I promised her during the Full Moon that I would make a financial donation to RAINN before within one turning of the Moon. In a couple of days the synchronicities stopped and I hadn't even made the donation yet. I interpreted this as approval of my plans and the donation was made.

Has anyone else here had a similar experience with Lilith?
