“Hebrew myth tells the story of Adam’s first wife, Lilith, who was also created from earth. When Lilith refused to assume the missionary position, Adam tried to force her. Lilith uttered the name of God and left the Garden. Some say that she returned in the form of the serpent and offered Eve the apple. The rest is his-story. This book offers another bite of that apple by telling part of her-story, Lilith’s story, the story of women’s mysteries lost and found . . . I invite you to embark on a journey that will challenge much of what you have been taught as truth. You will come to understand just how relative to time and place our current version of truth is. Things are not what they seem. What happens if we don’t take it lying down?”

“Once she was replaced by the slightly more obedient Eve, Lilith no longer existed in our teaching stories, or our conscious thoughts. Yet there she is at the very beginning. The original Old Testament story tells us that Lilith left the Garden of Eden, never to return, and she has, therefore, been left out of the story as we know it today. She only appears as a hag, inhabiting the outer regions, giving birth to demons and luring men and women into depravity. She is there, waiting for us to dream her and the ancient mysteries back into our lives. Are you willing to risk depravity?”
