The Three Faces of Lilith

Lilith is the Dark Goddess energy inside us all and describes our orientation towards themes regarding sexual repression, authenticity and living ones own individual truth regardless of what time or culture we may find ourselves raised in. Lilith is the the rightful "bitch" that rises up and demands equality, to be heard and to have her fair share. This Goddess does give a single thought to what she herself is thought of. This is a selfish part of ourselves that can, if not managed and disciplined with a proper understanding can take over, become unbalanced and see us the victims of selfishness and anger. 
​
This is a powerful force within the collective unconscious and I believe that her themes are becoming more conscious, rising up from the mysterious dark where we hide our sordid judgments to become part of the accepted, conscious self. We are seeing the dawning of the age of the enlightened Lilith. This translates of course to the opportunity for humanity to merge the dark with the light, to finally free ourselves from the chains of perception based judgments. This is a rocky precipice for many that can translate into the most mind bending of paradigm shifts.

Being willing to be alone is the ability to truly love.

​Women with Lilith prominent have a wild nature. They are sex. Sex on her terms is the only way she is willing to have it. Women with this energy heavy with them are charged with the forced choice to be alone instead of loved. When we say what others do not want to hear we risk being ostracized. The lesson in this is that if one finds they are not loved, they are able to survive it and even flourish! Leaving your own garden, feeling forced because you are not accepted in your wholeness after realizing you have had to compromise and woken up from the robotic experience of conventional life. This is often the experience for women with a prominent Lilith.

This challenge is often brought on through an environment that inhibits growth related to hearing hard things or things that challenge ingrained beliefs. One must decide what is most important...you or him (them)? Being willing to be alone is the ability to truly love. Accepting that you can be real or that you can be loved is a hard thing that demands a necessary choice. The attention you receive and the respect you gain is the reward for being brave.

Discovering that you have no master leads to necessarily accepting responsibility for your own life.

​In giving society the finger, you give yourself the permission to be free and whole and not beholden to the standards of any outside entity. Lilith owned it. We must also become brave enough to potentially be alone if we are to truly own ourselves. Discovering that you have no master leads to necessarily accepting responsibility for your own life. This brings the confidence that others who must remain attached to blame and also to others out of fear do not have. You may not be loved, but you are free from the need to be loved.

There are three Liliths that comprise the energy of the triple Moon Goddess and the stages of the transformation this dark Goddess underwent through the travails of her story. Where which one of these Dark Goddesses shows up in your chart can show where you get stuck or have a strength regarding that stage of the Lilith myth. ​

Asteroid Lilith describes the first part of the myth where the young Lilith was still abiding in the garden, living as an innocent. It was at this time that Lilith found herself unhappy in her sexual experience and no doubt after some simple thought saw the cause of her dissatisfaction bleeding out into her relationship in myriad ways. Her hopeful optimism about her romantic future was dashed when her request for equal time on top was met with denial and frankly, fear. This representation of Lilith points to where we experience this same disappointment and loss of idealism and separation when we realize our desires will not be met and even disparaged. ​

​​Dark Moon Lilith is the entity we associate with the middle stage of the myth. This is the part where we see Lilith reemerge as a serpent, bent on revenge and regaining power. There is a very psychic quality to the Dark Moon and the knowledge of another's motives is particularly sharp. This is the penetrating side to this Dark Goddess and where it is the chart shows where and how we affect the world through instinct, psychology and subtle control. Sexual control is also a part of this dark Moon Lilith and issues of sexual boundaries is shown by her placement. The most sexually manipulative side of Lilith.

Black Moon Lilith is perhaps the least known of the Dark Goddesses. This is Lilith in her full form, seething and poised to strike. Vengeful and passionate, where this Goddess lies can point to where we are able to unleash a whirlwind of fury. This is a representation of making the buried known, of making the denied felt. This can be done with the help of the confrontational energy of this Goddess. Where this Lilith lies is where we must learn the strategy of when to strike. If anger remains hidden it turns to resentment. This Lilith is about becoming direct and brutally honest, bringing the causes of anger and resentment into the open with the correct timing, even at the expense of acceptance.
