THE BOOK OF LILITH
Goddess – Demon – First Woman
A theatrical bellydance production
Come with Lilith as she flies through the ages…
From her beginnings as handmaiden to the Great Goddess, initiating men into Her mysteries through sacred eros, to her appearance as First Woman in the Garden of Eden.
She has since been called Blood Sucker, Harlot, Seductress, Impure Female, Alien Woman Witch, Hag, Vixen, Strangleress, Enchantress, End of All Flesh, End of Day, Flame of the Revolving Sword. Her dark powers have grown over the millennia in which she has been worshipped and demonized, adored and feared. She is the force of nature and the supernatural in all women.
Exiled from her home in the Tree of Life, and from the Garden of Paradise, she battles with angels and Falls from Grace.
Queen of Demons, she is the Winged One and Torturous Serpent, taking life through her strange and dark seduction; cast out, banished to the desolate wilderness, her home the Red Sea. Overwhelming in her nocturnal power, She demands nothing less than her full pleasure. Saintly and satanic, “the soul of every living creature that creepeth”, she perhaps, too, can offer redemption…
For, once upon a time, in the days when the Great Goddess was still revered, Lilith, nature spirit and soul of women, was called simply “The Beautiful Maiden”…
So begins The Book of Lilith.
