Lilith - Queen of Sheba Statue

Lilith – Archetype of Rebellion, Shadow Power, and Sacred Feminine Freedom

CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE:

• Lilith is a complex and controversial figure who appears in various mythologies and mystical traditions. In Jewish folklore, she is often described as Adam’s first wife who refused to be subservient and left Eden to claim her autonomy.

• In later occult, feminist, and modern metaphysical interpretations, Lilith is seen as a symbol of divine feminine sovereignty, sexual liberation, and shadow integration.

• She represents untamed nature, the mysteries of the night, and the aspects of the feminine often suppressed or demonized—making her a powerful ally in reclamation and inner alchemy.
