Lilith & the Rise of the Witch | The Story of the First Witch & First Feminist

Lilith is a powerful figure for witches and feminists. She's a dark goddess, a demoness, a vampire, and a seductress. But the history of Lilith is really fascinating, and deeply ancient. Lilith is the essential embodiment of the archetypal witch, embodied and autonomous and unwilling to be subdued.

So in honor of the spooky season, let's dive into Lilith and the archetype of the witch. Let's analyze Lilith for who she truly is: the first witch and the first feminist.

Happy Halloween, witches!
