A narcissist's ode to the self, using Lilith as a metaphor for the author's delusions of grandeur.
I'm returning this. This book isn't about Lilith whatsoever; instead, an uneducated caricature of Lilith is used to symbolize the author's bizarre conclusion that she's some sort of misunderstood, unappreciated goddess just like Lilith. The limited passages that focus on Lilith's story are inaccurately retold & misinterpreted.This book is essentially autobiographical, full of irrelevant, unnecessary & uninteresting anecdotes about her past & present insecurities, & peppered within it are metaphors loosely relating to Lilith or references to what the author perceives Lilith's qualities to be.It may have helped me when I was 11 years old & uncomfortable with my body as puberty began, & might appeal to young girls who are into the vapid "girl power" rhetoric of 3rd & 4th wave feminism.It's more of a self-absorbed coming-of-age story than a book dedicated to Lilith. The most awkward part is the author's clear delusions of grandeur that make her feel she personally relates to Lilith. She definitely sees herself as an ugly duckling that became a swan &, for reasons unknown, considers herself a modern day goddess.If you're interested in reading a cringe-worthy love song someone wrote to themselves, or the idea of reading a narcissist's diary appeals to you, this is a "book" you may enjoy wasting your time reading.Thankfully, it's not much longer than this review (less than 50 pages), written at a first grade reading level, has large font, fat margins & a lot of black space - so you won't be wasting much time at all.

Great introduction
This was an incredible breakdown. The author isn’t giving you EVERYTHING, she’s just breaking down the aspects of Lilith so you get an idea of where to start, to get a sample of her ways to feel out if she’s the right deity for you. I loved the simplicity. But there are some heavy questions/realizations and I love it

Not what I was looking for.
The first few pages - the legend of Lilith - were excellent. After that - well, downhill. Or, how exactly, are women supposed to collect their menstrual blood to offer to earth and sky? The book, by the way, is written entirely for women. I was looking for info on Lilith, specifically from the astrological point of view, and did wonder if the book included an ephemeris. It does not, and there is no mention of anything about Lilith the asteroid in your chart. (I have found out from other sources that she sits on my midheaven, which explains a lot.) So, aside from the first few pages, disappointing to downright silly.
