In this second episode of Goddess, Witch, Woman, we descend into the story of Lilith.
But not the version you might have been told.
Not the screecher, not the child-killer, not the seductress.
Before all that… Lilith was simply First.
The First Woman.
Made of the same earth as Adam.
Equal. Sovereign. Wild.
This episode is a mix of story and reflection, personal and mythic. I talk about:
The ancient roots of Lilith in Babylonian and Hebrew traditions
How her exile can be seen as sacred
The harm caused by spiritual performance and perfection
My own story of reclaiming voice and body after shame
How we can walk with Lilith today, not just study her.
I also ask:
What are you still silencing in yourself?
What fire are you holding back?
What would it mean to say no… and mean it?

Lilith is a gateway. A reckoning. A remembering.
I hope she walks with you as she walks with me.
With fire and breath,
Marianna
