Plot Summary
I was tasked to bring you an unfamiliar Lilith, a Lilith with a modern agenda. Lilith’s name is given to us in the first written creation story at the dawn of civilization, as we know it. She is the first woman. Undoubtably, an oral tradition existed thousands of years before we learned to write, passed down around communal cookfires, that told us of her. Many of you will no doubt have heard something of her, and you are entitled to whatever you believe about her because the very least our collective memory has done to the legend is to amplify it, exaggerate it. Thousands of years ago speaking her name was forbidden by elders, so why do we know of her? Who kept the knowledge alive? Do you think, as I do, she could’ve had something to say about it?
In the very distant past women worshipped Lilith as the original mother, a goddess and protector of women, children and unborn babies. What happened? In modern reference what little we do know portrays her as something slithering, the classic evil wickedness, the Serpent in the Garden, the temptress of Eve, the corrupted creator of sin. The Bible didn’t accuse her as the Serpent, the embodiment of evil, we did. We inferred her responsibility by association. Her legend grew and became larger than life. Why? If she was the serpent what was she really guilty of? Banned from her existence as flesh and blood, and as she evolved over time in the imaginings of men into the ultimate enthusiastically lustful and immoral enchantress, her story becomes one of pure, terrifying evil. Lilith’s is a story that was created by the men that were horrified of her seductive power over them, frightened of her strength. She laughed at them. Cursed and imprisoned in her demon’s realm, she has plotted since the beginning of time for her opportunity to rise. Lilith’s bold and wanton sexuality can and does get in the way of her goals and her terrifying retribution for abusive behaviour limits the depth of her benevolence. She was the monster, the Hag, the Crone, the original Vampire. Folklore, fables, and Disney films are full of incarnations of her persona.
Is it time for her to ascend from the depths of her banishment? Can the curse be lifted? Could she be worshipped as a goddess again, reborn as the answer to all inequality, benevolent to all humanity, the quintessential punisher of abuse? Or is she truly wicked and her plan merely subtle coercion or trickery? Is she more than we ever gave her credit for? Maybe she’ll just annoy the crap out of you, another neighbor you met while walking your dog, proclaiming she is some new-age prophecy, the long-forgotten re-incarnation of a goddess.
She needs help. She must shed the skin of the serpent. It might take a while. I’ll try. I really will.
But only Lilith will know When the StarChild Sings.
