Lilith: She of the Night, with Lili

Listen Later

 

This week, Ken and Ulysses Black talk to sorcerer and author Lili (Idlu Lili Regulus) about her remarkable book She of the Night(Theion Publishing). We explore the enigmatic figure of Lilith across Mesopotamian myth, Jewish mysticism, folklore, and modern magical practice. Lili shares how Lilith first revealed Herself to her, the challenges of writing about such a fluid and multifaceted being, and how one might carefully approach Lilith in ritual and devotion.

This week:

  • Lili’s first encounters with Lilith in the 1990s
  • Why Lilith is not an archetype, but a distinct and demanding goddess
  • Mesopotamian “seeds” of Lilith: Lamashtu, Ardat-Lili, Ninlil, and more
  • Lilith’s journey through Jewish mysticism, Arabic folklore, and European charms
  • The Queen of the Night plaque and its mysterious resonance
  • Lilith’s symbols: owls, serpents, night winds, blood, and husks
  • How to approach Lilith in ritual — offerings, timing, and necessary precautions
  • Why Lilith remains a powerful presence for modern magicians and mystics
