About this listen
This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the mythological figures Lamaštu and Lilith, tracing their origins, roles, and transformations across various cultures and time periods.
Chapter One introduces Lamaštu, an ancient Mesopotamian demoness, detailing her characteristics, names, and the types of activities attributed to her. It also covers related figures like Dimme and Pašittu, and delves into the forms and nature of Lamaštu, including her role in black magical theurgy.
Chapter Two shifts focus to Lilith in Mesopotamia, examining her evolution from primal chaos into cosmic order. It discusses her connections with other deities like Inanna and Ištar, and introduces related demons such as Barīrītu and Abbašušu.
Chapter Three expands on Lilith’s presence in the ancient world, including her depiction in the Testament of Solomon, the Talmud, and Aramaic incantation bowls. It explores the powers and names of Lilith-demons and their roles in various rituals and curses.
Chapter Four explores Lilith’s association with the Qliphoth in Kabbalistic tradition, her relationship with Samael, and her influence in spheres like Malkuth and Yesod. It also discusses her role as a succubus and child slayer, and her depiction in necromantic grimoires.
Chapter Five focuses on nocturnal spells and rituals involving Lilith, portraying her as a seductress, muse, and patron spirit of the black witch. It provides insights into the practical aspects of invoking Lilith in magical practices.
This book is a deep dive into the dark feminine archetypes of Lamaštu and Lilith, offering a rich tapestry of myth, magic, and historical context.
