Product Information

What happens to someone like Elsie Goldstein, committed secular Jewish septuagenarian, when she formally meets up with the feminist energy that’s been generated in Gimbutas like circles? She also boldly instructs us to stand up for what we believe in, unbridled and courageous, no matter the cost. I try not to be schizophrenic about being both Jewish and Pagan, but I find myself alone a great deal of the time,” she says. If Gaian feminists are not just “making things up,” as it were, but rather carefully brushing the sand off neglected artifacts (and stories) that have been there all along, it’s a process (less scary, more self-affirming) that brings one into a more compassionate relationship with the Muse.

Yet more and more Jews, nourished by the feminist movement, are not only donning the dual labels, but finding similarities between the two traditions.

Her roots come from the famous Epic of Gilgamesh, but she was also described in the Bible and the Talmud. This version, however, would be forced and is not very valid for the followers of Lilith, who point out that since there are only two human beings on a still pure earth, there certainly could not be many demons.

For a man to tell his daughter to be like her and stay strong that shows true strength and equality.

The tools are unimportant; we have all we need to make magic: our bodies, our breath, our voices, each other…. Because of her trickery God killed 100 of her demon infants per day, and since she could not herself kill human infants she spitefully killed her own infants. Adam complained to God: 'I have been deserted by my helpmeet' God at once sent the angels Senoy, Sansenoy and Semangelof to fetch Lilith back. The Circle of Aradia rents community centers or churches for its seasonal gatherings, since its outdoor rituals drew too much unwelcome interruption.Wiccans are organized by covens, autonomous havurah-like groups traditionally limited to thirteen people who do spiritual work together. So I’m in Macedonia sitting on a 3500-year-old marble bench—you feel you’re back in time—the fact that there was such a different time, it’s transporting. Rahel Musleah is a journalist in NY who contributes regularly to The New York Times, Publishers Weekly and other publications. As a child, Marion Weinstein dressed her dolls up as witches, watched TV ministers, requested lessons in kabbalah, and studied religion on her own. Today, we understand that witches as portrayed by media and by the Inquisition were never real, and many people have come to seek the guidance of Lilith to raise a figure of resistance to patriarchal society and oppression.
