Very Nice ...

Here's One Of My Favs

LILITH The Lady watched the Men and Women, looking thru the eyes of a myriad of Women, children, young girls, mothers, daughters, wives, lovers....all of the Women there were in the World. And She saw that, in many places, the Men had forgotten that the Women were to walk by their side as equals and partners, working as a team, but regarded Women as not-equal, and as possessions. "This must not be," she said. "What shall I do to teach them?" She thought, and remembered that the Fool would teach Men and Women, in His own way, and that Way might work for Her, too. She turned, and was the Maiden, and was in the World. A Man saw Her beauty, and seeing not Her Divinity caught and raped Her. Another took Her, and put Her in chains, and set Her to serving him. In the midst of the night, a band of men broke into the house, killing the slave-maker, and took Her away. They forced Her to serve them as a prostitute, and took the money she was paid for themselves. On and on it went, with humiliation and degradation piled higher and higher, until, on a still, dark night She spoke, and said, quietly, "Enough!" And the quiet coldness of the Word was enough to freeze the Moon in its path, and the singing insects of the night stilled their song. And the Maiden turned, and moved to the other side of the Coin, and became Lillith. She embodied the pleasures of the flesh, and the animal wildness of the wilderness; the lust of the bitch-in-heat and the fierceness of a mother defending her young was Hers, and Her eyes were mad. And She enslaved the men in Her turn, enslaving them to Lust and Passion, making them mad to possess Her, She that cannot be possessed, and fettering them in silken chains of desire. She showed the women Herself, and taught them Freedom, and Wildness, and all the secret places where Wildness lives, and the Mystery of being Woman. She was Lillith and Diana, Artemis and Athena, Scatach and Morrigan, and all the Wildness of Woman was in Her. She took the women to the secret places within themselves, and looked back out at them with feral eyes. She ran with the wolves, and howled. She flew with the hawks and ravens, and hunted with the owl. She crawled with the serpent, and stalked Her prey with the lioness, and all of this was put into Her Dance. "Know you that you are free," She cried to the women, "And let none put chains upon you not of your own making. Live as you will, not as another would force you. You are partners with Man, not his slave, and I am in you forever!" And the Wild was in the women, singing in their blood, and, so long as they remembered, they were free.

 

When I go hiking alone I bring  Lilith........I've always called to her with out even thinking twice.  And she has never disappointed me.........as I have never disappointed her.  Lilith I believe can be misunderstood.  All she wants is for the imbalances in this world to be harmonized......she is selfless in her dominance........and refuses to be silenced by fear.  And so it feels as though I invoke fire in my blood when I ask her to protect me.  A lot of people look at her with fear or just awe......but they do not see the healer in her always.......and this saddens me.  She is also a loving goddess.....selfless and gentle........Of all the goddesses she is one of the few I can actually feel in my heart. 

 

This is very beautiful, Father.

Thank you for posing this.
