When God Was a Woman Part 2: Lilith — The Untamed First Woman

Before Eve, there was Lilith.
Born of the same earth as Adam, breathing the same dust, she was not created to submit — but to stand beside. When she refused to kneel, her choice was rewritten as disobedience. Her sovereignty became sin. Her departure became exile.

Over centuries, Lilith was transformed from wind-spirit to demon, from untamed feminine force to cautionary tale. Yet beneath the myths of punishment and fear lives something far older: a remembrance of feminine power that could not be contained by hierarchy, obedience, or shame.

Lilith is not merely a figure of rebellion. She is the archetype of the boundary — the part of us that knows when staying costs the soul. She appears wherever autonomy threatens belonging, wherever truth risks exile, wherever desire refuses to be domesticated.

To meet Lilith is not to glorify abandonment or chaos, but to confront the cost of self-betrayal. She asks us to look honestly at the places we silence ourselves for love, suppress instinct for approval, or turn our own power into something dangerous rather than sacred.

This is not a story about choosing freedom over relationship.
It is a story about what happens when freedom is denied — and what it takes to reclaim it without losing heart.
