For Lady Lilith
(This is very personal stream of consciousness praise. It may not be the usual sort of prayer, but it meant a lot to me so I figured I should post it. Maybe others will relate)
At first when I approached Lady Lilith, I approached Her as a concept. As an idea that spoke very deeply to me. I didn’t believe but I appreciated those who did, I saw their practice as beautiful and good.
Since then, as much time has passed, I have realized She speaks to me as more than a symbol, She speaks to me as a deity. An example, a leader, a Mother. She is proof to me that if anyone wants to put you in a box, you can shatter it with your own inner strength and leave that place of torment. That when you do, you’ll be able to find a new home for yourself. One of your own making, with others who understand.
Over time I have built up a small altar dedicated to her, I have made my beliefs known to those closest to me, and have felt my appreciation for her grow and grow.
I’ve not been able to communicate with her or feel her presence, but even if She does not desire to work with me directly I am more than happy to spend my days worshipping Her respectfully at a distance.
Ave Lilith
