[Lilith]

[Lilith from The Mystery of Lilith]Lilith is the goddess who has never been celebrated as a goddess; the woman who was portrayed as a demon, child destroyer and seductress in Hebrew, Sumerian, Babylonian, Cannaanite, Persian, and Arabic mythologies. She is now understood as an archetype embodying the deep sexuality and wildness of woman, symbolizing a central element of the feminine psyche.

Stories and myths about Lilith emphasize her freedom of movement (Marija Gimbutas, author of The Language of the Goddess, says that Lilith was descended from the early bird Goddesses). They also emphasize her wildness and oneness with the forces of nature, her independence and refusal to submit to authority, and her deeply sensual and seductive qualities. ~ THE MONTAUK PROJECT
