Integrating Lilith Energies Into Our Lives

Tweet

ALTHOUGH WE HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW LILITH INTERACTED WITH HER FOLLOWERS IN ANCIENT TIMES, WE DO KNOW THAT SHE IS MAGNIFICENT AND POWERFUL. SHE IS SOMEONE TO BE TREATED WITH RESPECT AND AWE. LILITH, THE DARK MOON, REPRESENTS THE DARKER SIDE OF OUR NATURE, THE HIDDEN DEPTH THAT WE KNOW EXISTS, BUT DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE. LILITH IS OUR SHADOW SELF, THAT PART OF THE FEMININE PSYCHE WHICH HAS BEEN OUTCAST, DENIED AND FEARED SINCE ANCIENT TIMES, BUT IT IS ONLY THROUGH EXPERIENCING AND ACCEPTING LILITH THAT WE ARE ABLE TO INTEGRATE OUR SHADOW INTO OUR LIVES AND BECOME WHOLE AGAIN.

KABBALISTICALLY, THE NAME 'LILITH' CORRESPONDS TO THE SCREECH OWL--THE NIGHT OWL WHO REMAINS HIDDEN IN THE SHADOWS. FOR MANY, IT CAN BE A FRIGHTENING THING TO SEE OURSELVES STRIPPED OF ALL OUR ILLUSIONS. I BELIEVE THAT THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR THAT INFLUENCES HOW WE EXPRESS OUR HIDDEN LILITH ARCHETYPE, IS OUR CONDITIONING. WHAT DID WE LEARN ABOUT THE INFLUENCE OF NATURE WHEN WE WERE GROWING UP? WAS SEXUALITY VIEWED AS A VITAL, HEALTHY ASPECT OF OUR BEING, OR WAS IT SOMETHING TO BE FEARED, DEMONIZED? WAS MENSTRUATION SEEN AS A NATURAL PROCESS, OR WAS IT SOMETHING A WOMAN SHOULD FEEL SHAME ABOUT. WHEN MY FIRST MENSTRUATION OCCURRED, I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE 'CURSE'. SADLY, MANY WOMEN FROM MY ERA WERE TAUGHT THAT IT WAS SOMETHING TO BE DREADED.

"HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR SEXUALITY? WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE WILD WOMAN WITHIN WHOSE SEXUALITY IF INSTINCTUAL AND UNINHIBITED? DO YOU BELIEVE THAT EROTIC EXPERIENCES ARE SACRED OR DIRTY?"

"WHAT ABOUT YOUR SACRED POWER? ARE YOU AFRAID OF YOUR POWER? DO YOU BELIEVE THAT POWERFUL WOMEN END UP ALONE? "
