There are many confusing and sometimes contradictory stories about Lilith, but one thing is certain. She's independent.

Some say She's the ancient snake goddess, some say She's the original wife in Eden. Some say She's a demon, some say She's the protector of women in childbirth.

Regardless of your interpretation of Lilith, there is no doubt that Her strength lies in the darker parts of nature. She deals with death and all the darker sides of our natures.

And Lilith is about sex.

In French, an orgasm is called "le petit morte", the little death, and that falls squarely in Lilith's perview.

We mustn't deny the darker sides of our beings, and we can't dismiss sex as irrelevent, and whenever a person taps into those intense and passionate emotions, She's in touch with Lilith.

It is very easy to become addicted to the passion and power that Lilith offers, but the faeries remind us that these times are for visits only, vacations if you will, even if they do deal with the darker emotions. But they're no place to live unless you are as powerful as Lilith. And no human is.
