Difference between revisions of "Lilith"

In some contemporary concepts, Lilith is viewed as the embodiment of the Goddess, a designation that is thought to be shared with what these faiths believe to be her counterparts: Inanna, [[Ishtar]], Asherah, Anath, Anahita and [[Isis]]. According to one view, Lilith was originally a Sumerian, Babylonian, or [[Judaism|Hebrew]] mother goddess of childbirth, children, women, and sexuality. A few magical orders dedicated to the undercurrent of Lilith, featuring initiations specifically related to the arcana of the "first mother", exist. Two organisations that use initiations and [[ritual magic|magic]] associated with Lilith are the ''Ordo Antichristianus Illuminati'' and the ''Order of Phosphorus''.

Many [[LaVeyan Satanism|theistic Satanists]] consider Lilith a goddess. She is considered a goddess of independence by those Satanists and is often worshipped by women, but women are not the only people who worship her. Lilith is popular among theistic Satanists because of her association with [[Satan]]. Some Satanists believe that she is the wife of Satan and thus think of her as a mother figure. Others base their reverence for her on her history as a succubus and praise her as a [[sex magic|sex goddess]]. A different approach to a Satanic Lilith holds that she was once a fertility and agricultural goddess.
