Episode Synopsis

In this episode of "Library of Divine Echoes," host Christopher Little explores the figure of Lilith, a goddess who has been interpreted as both a demoness and a symbol of female empowerment. The episode traces Lilith's origins from ancient Mesopotamian mythology, where she was associated with storms and untamed nature , to ancient Jewish texts like the Talmud. In these texts, Lilith is portrayed as Adam's first wife, created from the same earth as him, and her refusal to be subservient led to her departure from the Garden of Eden. The episode discusses how Lilith's story has been viewed in different ways—as a symbol of rebellion against patriarchal norms and as a cautionary tale. It also covers her darker portrayal in Kabbalah, where she is seen as a demonic figure , and her modern-day reclamation by feminist scholars as a symbol of resistance and liberation. The episode concludes with a guided meditation to help listeners connect with Lilith's energy and wisdom.
