In our twenty-first century renaissance, renewed interest in the
goddess has brought many faces of the divine feminine into modern
awareness. Lilith is one of the most alluring - and ancient. After
five thousand years of smoky rumours, this female of ambiguous
reputation remains a mystery. As seductive femme fatale, crib death
hag or cosmic goddess, vampire or beacon of female integrity, she
has continued to excite our cultural imagination. If we follow her
trail back in time to seek the source of the fear and negativity
she typically evokes, we often discover, not only a major shift in
the collective human image of the feminine, but also something
essential that needs to be redeemed in our personal lives. Living
Lilith traces this powerful archetype through mythology, the arts,
astrology, on the world stage and in real life. Of increasing
interest to astrologers, Lilith is the name given to four
astronomical points - an asteroid, a star, a dark "ghost" moon, and
the better-known Black Moon. All four Liliths are discussed and
differentiated with the aid of numerous case histories and
fascinating insights into the lives of public figures. A section of
suggested interpretations of Lilith's influence through the signs
is included. This book is suitable for all levels of astrology, and
anyone interested in the presence of Lilith in our lives today. Not
everyone is ready to explore such profoundly unknown dimensions of
self and experience. Is she calling to you?
