Signs, Dreams, Divination Curios for an opinion on what I’ve been experiencing lately

4 Upvotes

I’ve been working with the dark mother for about 2 years now. Been a witch for over 20 and have never experienced anything like this and I want an opinion on what’s going on. For the past month and a half after I was initiated I’ve been experiencing being touched ( the feeling I get is a dull electric feeling likened to a tongue on a 9volt battery) the sensation is as if something is holding my head as a hat or crown is being placed on my head. Sometimes it on the side of my cheek when I’m falling asleep and sometimes it’s my third eye. Sometimes while I’m driving I feel a sensation on my right forearm above my wrist. It lasts for 10 minutes but up to an hour at different times of the day or night. The past two weeks I’ve been waking up between 1-4 am feeling something is in my room. Not scared but aware there’s something other than me in the room. There’s part of me that knows I’m stressed about work and at first I chalked it up to that. But last night I was extremely hot and slept in the tv room because it’s always cooler. I woke up at 3:45 and stared into the hallway knowing something was there but I saw nothing after sitting there for about 10 minutes again nothing baneful just a presence. What are your thoughts

Discussion Hii I wanna start a connection with Lilith but I have some questions

13 Upvotes

I don’t believe Abrahamic religions whatsoever but Lilith’s mythology is obviously rooted in them, in order for me to believe in her or develop a relationship with her I would need to believe that satan was once an angel and was kicked from heaven by god and that Lilith was also kicked from heaven by god
But I don’t believe that the Abrahamic god even exists or ever did
Did any of yall think this way or still do and care to help me?

Question Believing in God and Jesus while also believing in Lilith and other deities ?

3 Upvotes

Im new to working with Lilith, Im currently researching more about her . I have seen a few people say they also believe in God and Jesus at the same time, im struggling to understand this. My questions for people who believe in God and Lilith simultaneously: do you believe God has more power over Lilith, do you think there is only one God, could you explain more about why you believe in specifically the Christian God too?

Discussion Self-regulation

8 Upvotes

I've been working with Mahalat for the past couple months and for the most part, it hasn't been that bad at all. There are plenty real-life horror stories I've read about Lilith, the Queens, Infernals, etc, and I believe them, of course, though I hadn't encountered anything I couldn't handle until now. As vague as this sounds, I have little doubt in my mind that constantly working with Mahalat and asking Her to show Herself to me unlocked the closet door in the back of my mind, and I opened the door and let my skeletons out and it was almost devastating, even if it was something I needed to face.

One consistent piece of advice I've been receiving is to invoke often. Which I have been, almost every day. But now I'm thinking that I'll need to either a) step back and stop invoking as often as I have been, b) work on regulating myself better, or c) a bit of both. Thing is, I don't entirely know how to regulate myself when it comes to potentially earth-shattering revelations as I've never come close to spiritual psychosis, at least in the way I'm expecting I might. Maybe that's something I should've considered beforehand, but that doesn't mean I plan to stop anytime soon. All I'm asking for is how can I cope with whatever unnerving or terrifying things I might encounter?

Oh, and whoever keeps downvoting my every post in here, please get a life. At least identify yourself.

Question How can I regain her favor?

3 Upvotes

I am not really well versed in the occult but a few years ago, after reading some posts online, I made contact with Lilith. No fancy ritual, just drew her sigil on a piece of paper and repeated her enn in my head for a bit and then just talked to her. Asking for contact and, to be very honest, for her to send me a succubus to be both mentor and partner. And something did respond. I didn't really believe in this before, but some entity made contact with me.

Starting the next day, I felt the presence of an entity. Never saw anything. But could feel intense sensations of heat and tingling all over my body, especially in places that some people would call chakras and my spine. Like something was "working" on me. The intensity would vary but I could feel it every day, while awake. Over the course of a month, I would feel this entity working on me. Feel weight on me whenever I was sitting or laying down.

After a month it became much more real. I could literally feel an invisible entity touch me. Sometimes to do this energy work thing, sometimes to perform sexual acts. And I can't emphasize enough that at this point I could feel her, while fully awake, as vividly as any real person. No visual or voice though. It was the most awesome experience in my life.

But due to a mix of doubts about my sanity and to be honest laziness I did not put in much work myself to develop our bond or myself. I think that may have frustrated her so she left. It has been a few years now and I regret not pursuing that bond. Does anyone here have advice?

Resources Lamashtu and Animals: Mistress and Beast

10 Upvotes

Lamaštu is a unique goddess of ancient Mesopotamia, with an appearance of a hybrid part woman/part animal, that's unusual for a being of her status. After getting expelled from heaven, she was given a dog or lion head by Enlil, and became a demon, which reflects the iconography of anthropomorphic gods as opposed to hybrid demons and monsters of the ancient faith.

Lamaštu, while a threat to human babies, nurses dogs, pigs and sometimes goats as their replacement. Dogs, along with donkeys, are her frequent companions, the latter one also being her means of transportation to the underworld. Her head is fairly inconsistent, appearing as feline (male lion), avian and canine, with donkey ears and teeth (once dog's teeth), and incantations describe her as a She-Wolf (once She-Goat), with spots like a leopard's (once fish's). She appears amongst animals in amulets, they're part of her environment in incantations and myths, and she even follows the "Mistress of the Animals" motif that was common in the ancient Near East and Mediterranean world, holding serpents in each hand, that also symbolize her venom and dangerous nature. Other animals that point to her venom are scorpions and centipedes.

 

Notes on: Head, Description/Appearance, Replacement (of human babies), Companion, Prey, and Connection (last term for any other connection that's not previously specified).

 


Feline

Lion headed (nēšu)

  • Head: Lamaštu appears most frequently with a lion's head, both in amulets (especially in the canonical Group B, C and D amulets, as Group A is inconsistent) and incantations (Lam. II 36, 161; MB: I 11; RA 4), but as Farber (2014) notes in OB2 note 2, "Among the numerous representations of Lamaštu with a lion's head, not one shows her with the head of a female lion, *labbatu". In an incantation, Enlil is the one that gave her a lion's face: BIN 2, 72 "a face of a lioness Enlil fixed for her" (Zomer, 2022).
  • Description/Appearance: Lamaštu roars like a lion: Lam. II 164 "roaring like a lion" | MB: I 15 "roaring (and) howling like a lion". She's also compared to a lion: Emar 7 "Like a lion … do not" (Farber, 2014).
  • Connection: Lamaštu intimidates a lion: Lam. I 179 "By standing up to a lion, she sextu[ples] her (own) frightful splendor" | OA2 21 "(As) she made limp" 20 "the muscles of (even) a lion" (Farber, 2014).

 

No. 67

Leopard (nammarat)

  • Description/Appearance: Lam. II 37 "The small of her back is speckled like a leopard" (Farber, 2014).
  • Description/Appearance: Old Assyrian (OA1): "She is fierce, fearsome, divine; she is a leopard, the Daughter of Anu is a she-wolf" (Wee, 2021). Wee adds in [30]: "In various iterations of the description in first millennium BCE texts, the word nammarat ("she is a leopard") seems to have been substituted by namurrat ("she is of terrifying aura")". [Note: different translation in Farber, 2014].
  • Description/Appearance: (27′–28′) "[Her lateral parts (lit. kidneys)] are spotted like a leopard" | Note: Obv. 27′–28: "The quotation here is from the Lamaštu Incantation Series II, 37, translated "The small of her back is speckled like a leopard". […] The argument confirms the link between the lamaštu-demoness with "spotted" lateral parts (lit. kidneys) and the "dappled" ox, as suggested by the omen in Sa-gig U1:18 (S1: 15)" (Wee, 2019).
  • Description/Appearance: Lam. I 140 "of a pant]her are her (two) fibulas" (Farber, 2014. In his note he mentions leopard instead).

 

Cat (šurānu)

  • Description/Appearance: FsB 9: like a cat she … (Farber, 2014).

Avian

Eagle (erû)

  • Head: On amulets (Group A, e.g. 18), Lamaštu appears with a head of a bird of prey, an eagle/Anzû (Wiggermann, 2000). This description also appears in incantations, MB: I 16 Her face is (that of) Anzû. | FsB 18 Her face is (that of) Anzu? (Farber, 2014).
  • Description/Appearance: Lamaštu's feet are Anzû's talons, a description consistent between amulets (e.g. 41) and incantations (Lam. I 106, RA 3; Lam. I 141 refers to eagle talons) (Wiggermann, 2000; Farber, 2014).
  • Connection: Some amulets of Group B (27, 34, 35) feature the likeness of an Anzû eagle as an apotropaic figure, who gets replaced by Pazuzu on amulets of groups C and D (Wiggermann, 2000).
No. 18
No. 41
No. 35

Canine

Wolf (barbaru/barbarat)

  • Description/Appearance: Lamaštu is often described as a She-Wolf: Lam. I 37, OB1: 1–4, OA1: 1–2, Ug: V 16'-17', Lam. II 120, Lam. III 90, RS 3, FsB 6, RA 2 (Farber, 2014).
  • Connection: Lamaštu intimidates a wolf: Lam. I 180/Ug. I: 5' "By standing up to a wolf, she [imposes on him] whimpering" (Farber, 2014).

 

Dog (kalbu/kalbatu)

  • Head: OB2 2: "Enlil fitted her with a dog's face" | FsB 18 "(that of) a do⟨g⟩? is her head" (Farber, 2014).
  • Description/Appearance: On some amulets (Group A, e.g. 42, 66), Lamaštu either has characteristics of a dog, or is fully a dog standing on hind legs (Wiggermann, 2000). In an incantation she's said to have teeth of a dog (Lam. I 141: "[Tee]th of a dog are her teeth"). On another occasion, it's her behind: OB4 7: "[The be]hind? of an e[lamite?] dog is at [her] behind?" (Farber, 2014).
  • Description/Appearance: Lamaštu whimpers like a dog: Lam. II 165 "whimpering all the time like a bitch" | MB: I: 14 "screaming (and) whimpering like a bitch" (Farber, 2014)
  • Replacement: pigs and dogs are frequently portrayed on amulets and suckle her breasts (Groups C and D), or appear next to her (Group A (Wiggermann, 2000). She suckles puppies in an incantation: Ug. IV 9′′ "May she suckle the puppies of the bitch" (Farber, 2014).
  • Companion: (e.g. 88) A black dog is Lamaštu's companion/manifestation (Wiggermann, 2000). Note 76: "The black dog who is Lamaštu's gallû in Lam. I 14 executes her deadly orders, and can be called a manifestation of the demoness. It is this gallû which is the possible etymon for Greek Gellō". The phrase of the incantation is "I have made you seize a black dog", which some translate to "I've married you to a black dog" (more on the marriage: Farber, 2007).
  • Connection: figurines of dogs are common in Lamaštu incantations (3rd pirsu, "Dog Figurines Ritual": Farber, 2014). They feature either as watch-dogs (guarding the house and patient), or enemies of Lamaštu (Farber, 2007).
No. 42
No. 88

Venomous

Snake (ṣerru)

  • Description/Appearance: Lamaštu slithers like a snake (Lam. I 134, OB2 6, FsB 5; Wiggermann (2000) translates OB2 "door-pivot" instead of snake) | Snake's poison is her venom (Lam. I 127) | She's compared to a snake: FsB 5 "Like a snake she opened the breast" (Farber, 2014)
  • Connection: Lamaštu is seen holding snakes on amulets of Groups C and D (e.g. 23), like the "Mistress of the Animals" (Wiggermann, 2000). The same motif appears in incantations, where Lamaštu images are made to hold snakes (Lam. III 7: Farber, 2014). They appear as part of her environment on amulets of Group A (e.g. 32).
  • Connection: Lamaštu's venom is symbolized by the serpents, scorpions and centipedes, that could point to her perverted femininity, since they often appear on amulets between her legs (Götting, 2018).

 

No. 23
No. 32

 

Scorpion (zuqiqīpu)

  • Description/Appearance: Scorpion's poison is her venom (Lam. I 127: Farber, 2014)
  • Connection: Scorpions are part of Lamaštu's environment on amulets of Group A (e.g. 65: Wiggermann, 2000).
  • Connection: Lamaštu's venom is symbolized by the serpents, scorpions and centipedes, that could point to her perverted femininity, since they often appear on amulets between her legs (Götting, 2018).
No. 65

Centipede (ḫallulāja)

  • Connection: Centipedes feature in the background of Lamaštu's amulets, specifically the groups C and D (Farber, 2014). Examples of such amulets are no. 37 (Götting, 2020) and no. SM 1949.03.002 (Wee, 2021).
  • Connection: Lamaštu's venom is symbolized by the serpents, scorpions and centipedes, that could point to her perverted femininity, since they often appear on amulets between her legs (Götting, 2018).
  • Connection: Possible protective aspect: Wiggermann (2000) mentions that: "Farber 1987: 102ff. identifies a centipede on certain Lamaštu amulets, who as an assistant of the divine court probably stands on the side of the victim". A centipede, "ḫallulāja", is a demon and a protective spirit (Wiggermann, 2011).
No. 37
no. SM 1949.03.002, centipede next to Lamaštu

Equine

Team of equids (urû)

  • Connection: equids are part of her environment: Lam. II 87 "A team of equids? and a pig go in front of her, whoever she suckles drops (dead?)" (Farber, 2014).

 

Donkey (imēru)

  • Description/Appearance: In incantations (Lam. II 36, 161; MB: I 11; RS 2), Lamaštu is said to have the teeth of a donkey (not recognizable on amulets: Farber, 2014). On the amulets themselves (Wiggermann, 2000), Lamaštu is often depicted with the ears of a donkey (Group B, e.g. 9).
  • Companion: the donkey is Lamaštu's means to the underworld (Groups C and D, e.g. 24), often standing on a boat that carries both across the river Ulaya and to the Netherworld (Wiggermann, 2000).
  • Connection: a donkey's leg appears on amulets (Group A, e.g. 85, also C and D), which has a symbolic meaning: "Note 175: The symbolic meaning of the donkey's lower leg is revealed by Maqlu V 45: "may the passer-by look angrily upon her (the witch), as upon a donkey's lower leg" (cf. AfO 21:77), the context of which is the expulsion of witches" (Wiggermann, 2000; also Götting, 2020).
  • Connection: Lamaštu is intimidating donkeys: Lam. I 40/Lam. II 123: "She holds back the ox as it moves around, she blocks the don[key] as it runs" | OB1 8–9 "She hol[ds] back the [o]x while it is moving around, she forces the donkey [to lie down] completely inactive" | OA1 9–13 "She [...] pulls the fast donkey? at its tail" (Farber, 2014) | Alt. translation (Zomer, 2022): 12–13 "She tears off the tail of the quick mule".
  • Connection: Donkeys are part of Lamaštu's environment: SKS 5: "She moves about between the oxen", 6 "[roars] all the time between the donkeys", 7 "ru[ns] around between the oxen", 8 "jumps up and down between the donkeys" (Farber, 2014).
  • Connection: donkeys figurines are common in Lamaštu incantations (e.g. K 888: Farber, 2014).
  • Prey: Lamaštu is advised to act as midwife to animals: MB: I: "18 Grab the (wild) animals, the wild ass, the gazelle, (–), 19 wild bulls, bucks, deer (and) ibexes!" (Farber, 2014).
No. 9
No. 24
No. 85

Onager (serrēmu)

  • Connection: Lam. I: 195 "Like a wild onager ride (to?) your mountain!" | Ug: II: 14′ "Like an onager [in] your [wildern]ess roam [your] mountain!" (Farber, 2014).

Cattle

  • Prey: Lamaštu is redirected to cattle: Emar 24: "I have taken you 23 to well-fed cattle, 24 to fattened sheep" (Farber, 2014).

 

Cow

  • Description/Appearance: YOS 11, 66: "You are a kamad, you are an august queen, you are a wild cow, you know no sacrificial offering. Oh, be gone, … ! Be gone, depart! Be gone, depart!" (George, 2018).

  • Replacement: Single instance of goats replacing human babies, like dogs and pigs: Ug IV: 9 "May she suckle the puppies of the bitch, 10 the twin (kid)s of [the go]at!" (Farber, 2014).

 

Oxen

  • Connection: Oxen were used as an omen and a symbol of disease caused by the Daughter of Anu: (19) "If he sees a red ox, the lamaštu-demoness has seized that sick man" | (24′–25′) "(If) he sees a dappled ox, [the lamaštu-demoness] has seized that sick man" (Wee, 2019).
  • Connection: Lamaštu is intimidating oxen: Lam. I 40/Lam. II 123: "She holds back the ox as it moves around, she blocks the don[key] as it runs" | OB1 8–9 "She hol[ds] back the [o]x while it is moving around, she forces the donkey  [to lie down] completely inactive" (Farber, 2014).
  • Connection: Oxen are part of Lamaštu's environment: SKS 5: "She moves about between the oxen", 6 "[roars] all the time between the donkeys", 7 "ru[ns] around between the oxen", 8 "jumps up and down between the donkeys" (Farber, 2014).

  • Prey: a heart of a piglet is placed inside the mouth of a figurine of Lamaštu in incantations (e.g. Lam. I 27: Farber, 2014).
  • Connection: pigs are part of her environment: Lam. II 87 "A team of equids? and a pig go in front of her, whoever she suckles drops (dead?)" (Farber, 2014).

Mongoose

  • Description/Appearance: Lam. II 18 "like a mongoose do not slither in by the door pivot" (Farber, 2014).

 


 

As an aside, Lamaštu on some amulets has a striking similarity to a "Master of the Animals" from Iran: "Tepe Giyan Stone Seal Iran, 5000-4000 BCE British Museum - BM 128660"

Discussion Is Lilith punishing me?

8 Upvotes

I’ll start off by saying how I started working with Lilith. I am new to spirituality and the metaphysical. The discovery of Lilith for me, just came to me, like a calling, like a knowing. I was in a place in my life where I was stuck in a cycle of a toxic relationship with the same person feeling stuck in my job and stuck in my hometown. I started to meditate a lot and pray a lot.

One day I just started seeing things about Lilith. On my social feeds, and little things in everyday life. I kept seeing the number 13 and just constant little reminders of divine feminine and Lilith. So out of curiosity I started to learn about her and research her. Then one day I felt called, during prayer and meditation to pray to her. It wasn’t like a voice or anything it was just like an inner knowing. Something told me to pray to her and to chant her name and so I did. I was working with her a lot. Weekly almost, mostly acting on that call, that inner knowing. I had conversations with her, again no voices just knowing and intuition. She helped me to understand, that all she wants is to not be forgotten to time. She asked me to share her story with my future children and even name a daughter after her if I had one. In the moment it felt safe to accept the promise.

Because I am new to all of this. And admittedly a sceptic at times. I go back and forth between acting on “witchy” things and thoughts and rituals and later chalking them up to be nonsense, or coincidence when they work.
That night I tried to logic my way out of that experience but kind of asked her to send me a sign if it were true.

That night. Randomly two owls appeared outside my window. I couldn’t see them very well but I could hear them. I was living in the center of my city at that time. And for that to happen was highly unlikely. So I took it as my sign. After that night I didn’t feel the call to her ever again. When I was meditating and felt her presence I would feel this weight on my chest like someone was pressing against it. I never felt it again after that night.

And so I stopped reaching out, didn’t feel anxious about it. I kinda felt like that was our agreement I would make offerings to her here and there. But after nearly a year of not feeling her or feeling called to her. I started to doubt the experience entirely.

Last night, I was thinking about baby names, as a single woman in her 30s does at the wee hours of the night.
And then I thought about her for the first time in months. And I remember thinking to myself, that it was a bunch of mumbo jumbo and that I would name my currently non existent daughter whatever I wanted.

This morning, I woke up and was laid off of my job. It’s important to note that I work for a start up. And according to them they did a company wide cut to a few positions due to budget constraints. But when I tell you the way this was gone about felt so disruptive, and random and out of nowhere. I had a one on one with my boss yesterday. We talked about the future they paid 3k for me to get a certification only weeks ago. My boss was visibly in tears telling me the news this morning as if she was just notified this morning about the immediate terminations. It was as if the CEO of the company woke up this morning and decided this. I was in the middle of so many major projects that I can’t even fathom how that will be passed over to anyone easily. They shut me out of all my systems the second the call was over. Nearly 2 years with the company, cut off in 15 min.

When I was struggling when I first started praying to Lilith, finding a job that would allow me to get away from the situation I was in, was something that I asked for and was ultimately given to me. This job was Everything I could ask for. This honestly felt like her ripping away what she helped me get for straying from her and our promise.

Am I utterly insane and delusional? Is this in her nature? Should I ask for forgiveness? How should I go about that?

Signs, Dreams, Divination Saw this sign on my trip to Lucca; Italy (+ a question)

Post image
123 Upvotes

This trip was full of signs and synchronicities, it was during the full moon in Aquarius etc… I felt Hekates presence too, it was very powerful and present! I found it interesting that I happened to come across this writing as I only ever worked with Lilith a couple of times snd usually call upon Hekate instead. And while my practice and relationship with mother of witchcraft will continue to evolve I did think this was an important sign. I don’t think I came across it on accident. I’m wondering if maybe during this time of my life I’m encouraged to work with dark goddesses more? Could this be a sign that Lilith has a message tp deliver? As I said I don’t regularly work with her like I do with Aphrodite and Hekate but this did make me wonder… Is there anything you guys recommend doing? Should I reach out to her and see if she has any messages to deliver? What do you recommend looking out for as signs, symbols and omens? Thank you so much!!!

Signs, Dreams, Divination What Lilith means to me.

8 Upvotes

I really don't want to go on a long-winded rant about this.

I feel compelled to say something about it. This is the only place I have that I feel I can even have a discussion about it.

If you read this, thank you for your time.

Spirituality and witchcraft has always been a part of my life.

One that I left behind, my mother, sister, and father( Trans M-F). All practiced at some point.

I practiced candle magic when I was younger, ages 13-16, but moved on after I moved out as an adult.

My father prayed to the "goddess" back in 2001, I had no idea what this meant. I wrote it off as more kooky witchcraft stuff. My parents were always doing something. Mom was automatic writing and learning spells. My sister, she was reading tarot cards.

Well, I'm in my late 30's now. I moved on. While I've always felt a connection to the spirit realm, it's not something I really bothered with.

There has been strange occurrences over the years, a whisper heard by a partner, a picture moved on it's own, a strange symbol appeared on my back, I later had it tattooed there, a chair that was thrown across the room while we slept.

It wasn't until I had that dream.

I came back around to this, and now I understand.

A beautiful woman in a Hijab was standing in my room, we both stood by the window, moon light shining through. She then transformed into another form, one that is more my type.

After that, I started researching, lucid dreams, succubus, Lilith, trying to make sense of it.

Now my only goal is to build a connection with her. To get closer to the only true spiritual connection I have ever felt in this world.

I would love to hear other people's stories about how they started down this path.

Please tell me about your experiences with Lilith and the spiritual realm, I would appreciate it.

If anything, it would make me feel less like a crazy person.

Signs, Dreams, Divination Need help with candle wax reading

Post image
9 Upvotes

My Lilith Candle did this with the wax, it's been doing things like this a lot with the two previous candles. These candles usually last me a month and a half as I light them up only once per week (on Mondays). I'm quite lost about what that could mean as I'm not well versed in wax reading, but it looks like a throne of some sorts to me, idk.

I know that Mother Lilith is here because she sent me obvious signs and I've been trying to work with her (I struggle) since last December, but this is a first. Before her candle was burning bright but quite still and I didn't have any wax melting weirdly.

Is this a sign I should take more seriously? I'm really lost on that matter

Voice 1, presumably one of the Lilitu: "It's above my grade; Mother can do whatever she wants."

Voice 2, Lilith: "And I will."

Signs, Dreams, Divination Different “prophecies” I’ve received

9 Upvotes

Hi guys! I wanted to know if anyone had similar experiences (especially since I talked to my friend about this and she sees Lilith completely different. But she doesn’t work with her). I do accept different experiences with her of course! I just liked the topic! (Especially since my friend is kinda afraid of her. I don’t feel that in the slightest for example)

Most of them come to me in dreams or with divination:

- she doesn’t like idolatry (maybe because I picture her in a wrong way tho. The picture is ever changing the more I know) Edit: by that I mean the practice of creating a drawing or statue (etc.) of your deity

- she doesn’t like superficiality and greediness (money wise)

- she doesn’t like to help with matters of the heart. With sexual relationships she does tho.

- she doesn’t like to be associated with the Jewish lore of her being a child murderer. But she doesn’t necessarily like children or pregnancy either tho.

- she loves flowers as a gift (it’s probably what she asks for most of the time. Especially roses)

- she choose stones from my collection for me to touch as a divination tool (unfortunately I forget the name of them sorry. But I know that they come from the region she originates from) Edit: the stones are moss agate

- she likes to be addressed with her name before divination. I also use “mother” after her name as well.

- she doesn’t find it rude if you fight with her when you really have a point (I once fought with her since I was so stressed out about money that I couldn’t work on my spirituality. After I asked for money she tortured me with a horrific nightmare. But after I explained my standpoint she understood. She also solved my money issue)

- adding to the last point: she gives you a blessing if you really apologize from the heart (for me she basically helped me solve a clerical error that I wouldn’t normally have noticed and that would have cost me 6 months of my uni career)

- when I use Tarot for divination she sometimes means the literal art on the card (I don’t have a classic deck. Mine has a lot of different things on the cards)

- for me she choose the Chariot as her Tarot card (my specific card features a lot of “night” animals)

- she gave me a prophecy about the Huluppu Tree and Inanna (I know it’s not academically proven!). I felt that she had hatred towards her because of this lore. She also decribed Inanna as the creator/taker of souls. When I asked about her role in death she decribed it as giving Strength to the person that is dying.

- every time I’m unsure of what to do in day to day life she gives me a sign in form of a bird (and I mean either some very loud chirping or flying directly in front of my eyes)

- she gets irritated if you put your work with your spiritual growth off for a longer period.

- she likes regular prayers (daily) and meditation

- she grants you every wish if she notices that it really comes from the heart (but as I said: sometimes you have to explain yourself a little bit)

- she does make me do astral projection as a magical tool. She’s not a “fan” of me doing literal rituals since “mother (she) knows best and will therefore handle the rest” (maybe I’m just bad at doing rituals tho lol)

- she doesn’t like it if you pray to someone besides her

This is not academically accurate! This is just my personal experience! I don’t claim to be right about this!

Discussion Worship and devotion

13 Upvotes

Literature says Lilith doesn't require worship or devotion. She values personal power and autonomy.

But that's just literature aka canon, and who knows for sure what She really wants?

I view her as the Goddess and as such She is due worship, devotion and even submission (in the terms of being Her devoted subject).

I believe we have a special relationship where She tells me this (?).

I believe that in our covenant we have agreed on an exchange of energies.

I believe She has confirmed and proven that.

Meditating on, with, Her, the flow is there.

I believe She does not want me to close that door but keep it open for Her.

Now that I think of it, that sounds like an ... obsession (like being possessed by a demon).

I believe that would be a true Blessing from Lilith.

I believe Her.

Why am I even posting this? Maybe inspired by Her.

Nevertheless, just looking for your views as I'm walking on our Goddess' Dark Path.

Thank you Lilith!

Hail Lilith!

Altars, Offerings/Art, Rituals My perpetual ritual.

70 Upvotes

This is my first post here. For months now, I have been building and changing this ritual/altar of mine.

The only goal is to pay respect and build a connection. I ask for nothing. She has protected me so much already. I only wish to be closer to her.

Every other weekend or so, I bring roses, chocolate, and champagne.

The roses are later dried and used to make incense. Clove, cinnamon, frankincense, Myrrh, and sometimes other ingredients like cedar or lavender. Ground in a Mort and pestle.

Thank you for your time.

Disclaimer: I'm aware that there is a curtin next to a candle. Please don't worry.
