Lilith 4000 years
ago.
Lilith Zariel
In Mandean Gnostic mythology
Lilith Zahriel,* the "Great Lilith", is the only one of the several Lilith
spirit beings who is transformed when she escapes the world of darkness, i.e, this world
of matter, with her husband, Hibil Ziva, or "Radiant Abel", who is the son of
the King of Light.
Radiant Abel seeks knowledge of
the world of darkness with his alliance with Lilith Zariel. He steals three things from
the realm of darkness, a magic mirror, a crown, and a magic pearl. After he marries
Lilith Zariel and the theft of these articles he leads both of them out of the underworld
into the realm of Light.
Lilith Zariel is changed by this
process and she becomes the reverse of all the previous demonic Liliths who tempted men to
their ruin and brought harm to pregnant women and children. Lilith Zariel become the Good
Lilith, the Good Mother Spirit who guards over pregnant women and is responsible for the
child's safety and well-being.
Lilith Zariel is spiritually
connected to "Eleleth", one of the most important Gnostic angels who helps
Norea, the daughter of Eve (in some Gnostic myths and a daughter of Sophia in others),
escape this world of archons and matter that trap the soul preventing it from returning to
the Pleroma, the world of Light.
Eleleth is "wisdom" and
the Great Angel who stands before the Holy Ghost". Eleleth is the male spiritual
counterpart of Lilith Zariel. Eleleth is sent to free Norea from the "hands of the
lawless" and to teach about the "Roots" of truth and humanity.
Eleleth is also now spiritually
related to the number eleven. This Eleleth spiritual energy can be seen these days in
the eleven year solar cycle, in the weird 11:11 clock thing, and in elevens showing up in
odd ways in your life,* e.g., an 11 year cycle that makes my son's birthday, who was born
on the eleventh of April at Easter which makes his birthday fall on Easter Day every
eleven years, and my own birthday, 2/11/44, fall on a multiple of eleven every eleven
years of this century.
Also see the 11:11 Cross in the
Divine Designs page.
* This was written three or four years before 9-11 happened.
Lilith Zariel is now also
spiritually connected to lilies, especially the Easter lily: "I will be like the dew
to Israel; He shall grow like the lily" Hosea 14:5. I have some sort of
spiritual connection to lilies and Lilith Zariel: My father married two Lillians in two
marriages and a love of my life, Susan, (from the Hebrew Shushan, meaning
"lily"), gave the magic sword Paxcalibur its 2nd baptism. Another woman I love
dearly, Bridgit, (the Goddess at work in disguise of a humble street minister for Christ),
gave Pax it's third baptism. Sophia helps me too through the wisdom of my friends Sonja
and her daughter Harmony. Norea is also present in spirit in my life through another
closest friend I dearly love.
The Holy One has seen to it that
the Spirit of the Goddess is always close at hand in my spiritual life.
* "Zahriel" is the spiritual condensing of the Kabbala
name Zohar Ariel meaning "Star or Splendor of Ariel".
