Lilith Names of Power Altar Banner
18X18 cotton, black banner with red print.
Lilith Names of Power, adapted from pewter pendant. Black banner red print.The ancient Goddess of Night, called Lilith was originally a Goddess who
manifested in various "Deific Masks" such as Ishtar/Inanna, Ereshkigal
and of course her Lilitu incarnation. Lilith is in legend a vampiric
demoness, a night spirit who drank the blood of the young and sleeping.
Lilith appears also as "Az" and "Jeh" of Manichaean and Zoroastrian
texts, she who stirred Ahriman from his slumber. Lilith is shown here,
her wings pointing downward (symbolic of her nature in the underworld),
young holding the rod and circle, a symbol of her overmastering power as
a Divinity. Her hands, upright symbolize her ascending. Lilith wears
the horned cap of divinity, only worn by the Gods and powerful deities
of ancient Mesopotamia. Her name is written in Hebrew above her head.
The back is something Michael W. Ford added to this design: the "names
of power" of Lilith, each representing her nature as a predator and
underworld goddess, thus a powerful talisman for the underworld and
vampiric essence of the Adversary!
