As the Shadow
Reclaiming Her
Lilith's Story
We will now unravel Lilith's mythical biography from the
time she
first emerges in ancient Sumaria as a handmaiden to the great goddess
Inanna.
The threads of her story lead us through the Hebraic mythology where
she is the
first wife of Adam and later the consort of God in the Cabalistic
tradition. To
the Romantic poets of the nineteenth century, Lilith came to embody the
image of
woman as femme fatale - alluring, irresistible, and deadly. Now, at the
close of
the twentieth century, Lilith reasserts herself as the liberated
feminine,
exalting ecstatic sexuality, upholding integrity, and refusing
submission.
