Exploring the Dark Feminine: Lamätu and Lilith This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the mythological figures Lamätu and Lilith, tracing their origins, roles, and transformations across various cultures and time periods. Chapter One introduces Lamätu, an ancient Mesopotamian goddess turned demoness, detailing her characteristics, names, and the types of activities attributed to her. It also covers related figures like Dimme and Päittu, and delves into the forms and nature of Lamätu, including her role in black magical theurgy. Lamätu's origins are obscure but key to the origins of Lilith. 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 I¿tar and introduces related demons such as Bar¿r¿tu and Abbäüu. Lilith is known in three types of wind and storm spirits, Lil¿tu, Ardat-Lilî and Lilû; their lore, witchcraft and magical symbolism is explored in depth with a deep study of the etymology of their obscure names. 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. Lilith is identified in the Greek, Middle Eastern and Turkish worlds including her many Names of Power, used to summon or to banish her from those who perceive an affliction by her legions of wind-demons. 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. The Four Matrons including their associations and symbolism are revealed that provides balance between the demonic and deified aspects: suggesting a deeper knowledge behind the masks of the Goddess. The Hebrew legends of the Cave of Lilith, the medieval use of the magical mirror of Lilith are studied and revealed from a 15th Century Hebrew and German necromantic manuscript. 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
