I Am the
Honored One and the Scorned One
I am the
Whore and the Holy One
Lilith,
Lili, Lilitu, Nan-Lil, Leilah
Lilith, you
who once walked proud
blessing
the fields, blessing wombs
blessing
desire, blessing passion
Lilith, you
who once guarded the Holy Tree of Inanna,
Who led the
men forth from the fields
to be
blessed by the royal lap of the Goddess
blessings
blessings blessings
Lilith, you
who once stood equal beside Adam,
Who stood
firm in Her rising when Adam said
“Go beneath
me, woman!”
Lilith, you
who then uttered the Secret Words of power
and wings
you grew, grew for flight, for refuge
You who
found refuge in your dark fecund cave
beside the
blood red sea
Devoting
yourself as Guardian of your own holy power…
O
Lili
Lilith, who
they began to claim ‘tainted’ men while in Her ‘menstrual impurity’
Lilith, who
they claimed lured Eve into awareness of evil in serpentine form
Lilith, who
they say came to claim in the deep dark of night,
to steal
from men their ejaculate, to steal from men their power
Lilith, who
they say sent Her daughters as succubi to lure men to their downfall,
Lilith, who
they say was a childkiller
I SAY NO!
Lilith
You have
emerged into our female consciousness,
demanding
to be remembered for the Holy Goddess you are,
Goddess of
Liberation, Ecstasy, Passion and Strength
Lilith
You demand
that we remember that WE as women are HOLY
You call to
us with the message that our wombs and our spirits are our own,
imperative
we claim our right to rule over our own precious bodies and souls.
Lilith, you
are the force that liberates the abused woman,
the woman
in the Underworld
You are the
one that says:
“Remember,
you are beneath no man”
Lilith, you
possess the holy righteous rage,
Wrapped in
Her scarlet veil,
Phoenix
born in potent flame.
Lilith,
Serpentine Queen…
Bearing
female wisdom, womanly magick, menstrual mysteries
Lilith,
Serpentine Queen…
The Holy
powers of Life and Death belong to You,
As you go
into the Dark of the Moon, we go.
As you shed
your scarlet skin, so we shed.
As you
renew and transform, we renew and transform.
As you,
Ancient Lover, dance in power, we dance in power.
As you wax,
peak, wane and rest, we so do.
LILITH
SAYS:
NOW IS THE
TIME OF RISING.
