Lilith is a dark and grimm goddess. She is also a goddess of hell and the dead. Lilith's history goes as far back as to the beginning of time and still, the dark goddess is alive and well known. This is to her, my temple and shrine of LILITH.

Although the figure of Lilith is commonly found in Jewish folklore and midrash, the origin of Lilith is as a Sumerian succubus. The first Jewish story of Lilith was told in theAlphabet of ben sirah. Before the introduction of the Alphabet of ben sirah, Lilith was mostly seen as a demoness instead of the "first Eve". Due to the ambiguity of Lilith, she has been represented in multiple forms in both literature and art. Some theological scholars acknowledge Lilith as the "first Eve" while others still see her as a demoness. Historically in art, Lilith has been portrayed variously ranging from risqué versions to Lilith in the garden. To view some of these depictions click on pictures on the UPenn website on Lilith.

In my workings with lilith, I have found that she can be very kind and giving and also very mean with curses. I have put together for the workings of her a magick system of dark intentions. Before, I used to use a regular rectangular altar for all my magick. Ever then, that I discovered the necronomicon, I have used the triangle altar and found it to give better results. You will never see in any of my spells that I "draw the circle". Lilith doesn't mind a circle but it restricts her powers very much. Lilith is a kind mother but also a very personal and strict mother. She does not take kindly to those who insult her children the LILIN and or her human children ( ie. us ). We as witches and wizards and other magickal folk, that the gods are nothing to mess with. Lilith however, is an extreamely strict goddess. If you are a beginner in the arts of magick I would not reconmend starting with Lilithian magick. I would advise you to get used to a magick system already out there and one that is easy to understand. Lilith is a great patron goddess of the dead as well, she has given me such secrets on how to properly summon the dead and tought me the dangers of necromancy. I have even got the honor to become close to three of her daughters whoes names i will not say for their sake and protection. I still have yet though to come close enough to them in order to give me their seals of summoning.
Necromancy with Lilith has been great. She has given me so much and I can never thank her enough. She has given me many ideas and spells for you all and I hope that you will take them and use them with the pride of a necromancer.
Lilith has surely answered my call. I have summoned a succbuss and received her name. The children of lilith are kind and know well that in the hearts of men. My lover, Amber, is not jelouse of the succubuss for she knows what I do and what I am out to learn from the dead relms. I hope to find great information as the children of lilith are of ancient days. Knowledge gives us power, and with knowledge comes great deeds if honored to respect it and the people of the realms who give it to you.
Soon the vail between the worlds will be weak and the doors unguarded. So shall I, summon the great queen into this realm for the night-time party. The eve is near and I must be ready. let her come and her children with her. I have summoned her before but she answers only to those worth her time. Now when I call she comes. This time though I pray that she finally show unto me the grand secret she has held for a time. Through the astral paths I hope that she let open her tower of chaos and allow me entrance to her throne. She is kind and also crule.
