i see people are talking about this again so, from a queer trans jew:
LILITH IS OPEN! IF YOU WANT, YOU CAN WORSHIP HER! BE YOU JEWISH OR GENTILE 💖
Four points:
lilith is open, but making jewish pregnancy protection bowls and saying its idk a modern michigander witch invention, THAT is appropriation. Just saying a prayer to Lilith as a gentile is, can’t believe i have to say this, not appropriation.
lilith is jewish, as known from oral tradition, ancient and medieval apotropaic artifacts, Zohar, and of course the Alphabet of (falsly attributed) Ben Sirach ~ she’s jewish but, just like judaism, she’s is an amalgam of common experiences witnessed by jews and gentiles in antiquity
lilith is actively worshipped, observably, in reality, by jewish and gentile women and queers for decades. My friends aren’t antisemitic just for me inviting them in, that’s batshit talk.
don’t tell anyone who to worship. this includes unsolicited suggestions to “swap” Lilith with anyone else. Imposing your religious beliefs on others is very, very culturally christian, so stop that. please.

*nothing happens*
me: *asking Lilith about it*
Lilith: yeah sure *takes it away*

👏 if you won’t change the terms you use when marginalized people tell you it’s appropriation, you’re not fighting for anyone’s freedom, you’re just an arrogant colonizer 👏
This goes for Kabbalah, tulpamancy, egg cleanses, Lilith worship, Vodou, and every other closed practice that’s not yours.

daily offerings I want to add into my practice
First up is deities I actively work with and worship heavily
Hades
Tarot pulls
Working on my death alter
Cleaning ((offering both to him and the spirits))
Lighting his candle ((maybe not daily but more regularly than I do right now))
Meditation
Keeping good finances ((once I score a steady job going every day will be devotional time to him as well))
Wearing his necklace or other devotional jewerly
Persephone
Spring and summer
Keeping my room tidy
Keeping my [her] plants alive
Fall and winter
Tarot pulls ((I need to get her a deck))
Moving my meditation with hades outside to honor her as well
Aphrodite
Daily showers
Listening to self love subliminals
Eating fruit
Lighting her candle for skin care ((as well as doing regular skin care))
Daily self cleansing ((even if it is just intentional showering some days))
Remembering to eat every day
Ares
Shadow work ((targeted at anger))
Calming exercises
Deep breathing
Remembering to vent my feelings when they get too big ((even if it is just to his candle))
Dionysus
Sadly I am not able to be medicated ((mental health spooky shit)) yet but that is going to be a devotional act for him once it happens. Currently tho:
Tracking my sh recovery journey
I am going to work on a playlist for him but listening to it will be a daily devotional act ((even just a few songs))
Not daily but regularly watching musical cartoons
Also not daily ((dionysus is very chill in my practice so I dont often work with him every day in large capacities)) but working with and making spell oils
Lady Morrigan
I know some people worship the morrigan as three separate entities but often she presents herself to be as one sole entity ((often as the aspect titled Badb)) so I just refer to her as "Lady Morrigan")) however you work with/worship her is totally valid
Study celtic mythology
Scrying work
Daily coffee with her
Asking for her advice with decisions I know I shouldnt make on my own
Lilith
Shadow work ((general digging into my inner self))
Self love practices ((taking daily time for myself, also considering starting yoga again as a devotional act for her))
Lighting her candle while i get ready ((I wanna do this with a couple people for different reasons but for her specifically I want to devote the time I get dressed to her))
Moon cycle calendar
Queen Maeve
Tend to the plants
Making an alter to the fae is going to be a big devotional act for her as it is gonna be my first outdoor alter
Reading mythology with her
Practicing traditional magic
Now for guides and deities I worship casually
Lady Asteria
I want to start a dream journal dedicated to her
Sleep meditation
Lady Freya
Taking care of my kitten
Caring for my personal relationships
Cerridwen
Writing poetry for her
Working on my stories
Asmodeus
Boundary work ((this was why he first appeared into my space, what him and I worked on most while I worked with him, and it is what he helps with now that he took a step back))
Knowing when to quit some things
Lucifer
Shadow work ((when I devote the shadow work to Lilith he usually pops in too))

I have seen such conflicting opinions on working with/worshipping Lilith so I'm here to ask everyone to comment your opinion and give me a proper source to back up what you're saying.
Varied opinions include :
Mesopotamian Origin VS Jewish Origins
Lilith being Open VS Closed
Some Jewish people saying she is open VS some Jewish people saying she is closed
Demon VS Goddess
PLEASE can someone give me proper sources and evidence to prove something because it's absolutely maddening trying to figure this out 🤣
P.S. I'm asking so I DON'T appropriate, so please keep that in mind. Also, no arguing in the comments. Just add your opinion please

My little sister was so excited to introduce me to her lil witchcraft practicing friend. Finally met her, tagged her as New Age from the jump, but that's not necessarily always a bad sign. She invites me up to her room to see her altars, and I was rocking with the lil crystal cluster spaces 'til she said "Lilith." But I waited. I was like, Boop, now come on, let's not jump to conclusions. So I saw the other three spaces and then was able to ask if she's Jewish and lo and behold my assumption jumping ass was correct. I'm so tired of always being right bro I stg

it fucking baffles me when ppl are surprised or worse shames someone who doesn’t identify as “female” worships lilith or any other femme fatale goddess or deity. what could be more empowering than a nonbinary/non-conforming man who still chooses femininity & recognizes the power there? what could be more empowering than transcending beyond the gender binary & respecting that nebulous space?
lilith loves her male-identifying devotees & i won’t be told otherwise.

Whoops making vaporwave collages again but this time with religious themes.
I was raised in a strange cocktail of not-heinous Christianity and the evangelical cult that's been slowly swallowing the whole religion. And I have a lot of feelings about it, especially now as a very pagan adult. I've been reading a lot about Gnosticism lately and how it relates to both Christianity and paganism, and it's a fascinating topic to think about.
Lilith is often worshipped as an avatar of the divine feminine, the dark feminine archetype, the first feminist etc. While I have begun doing so as well, I wonder why we often don't talk about Eve's role in her own story- the mother of humanity and literal Bringer of Knowledge?
What all of this boils down to is I make digital collage art to process my own thoughts and trauma and I like to think of Lilith and Eve as equally important in different ways, but in a very pagan interpretation.
Side not the text editor on mobile sucks ass.

I’ve seen a lot of misinformation (and harassment) about this so since so many are wondering:
Lilith is open.
You do NOT have to meet a rabbi and to begin the conversion process.
Lilith is jewish in origin.
LILITH IS OPEN.
u don’t need to convert and it’s not appropriation to use her name in your own worship. steer clear from recreating jewish medieval apotropaic bowls to ward OFF AND AWAY lilith and u should be good. Oh wait sorry I know u probably weren’t going to do that, ward off and away an entity you worship, but so many here act like that’s what popular practice. yeah, them saying that REALLY is so twisted, antisemitic, and untrue;
LILITH IS NOT CLOSED!
AND ITS ANTISEMITIC TO SAY SO!
This idea that its antisemitic to engage with Lilith unless you’re jewish, and if you aren’t you have to begin the process of conversion to judaism for Lilith IS ANTISEMITIC. WHY DO I EVEN HAVE TO SAY THAT. tldr; it’s antisemitic to say that Lilith is closed, Lilith is open to all.

listen. Lilith being “closed” was something pushed by zionists like user jumblr-protector-golem/will-o-the-witch/jewitches, user rose-in-a-fisted-glove, user keshetchai, user hachama, user athingofvikings. you’ll find plenty “nonzionist” or even “antiantizionist” rhetoric on their blogs.
Lilith can be jewish, and judaism can be closed, and this isn’t simple maths, judaism isn’t a monolith, and Lilith does exist openly to this day, factually, and real jews (and ex jews) who worship her and our gentile friends have the human right to worship our chosen entities. Thank you ☮️
Given that you called people who are explicitly against Israel’s genocide of Palestinian people (like Jewitches) Zionists, I find it doubtful to believe the rest of your “sources” say what you claim, either.
But either way, you still have to listen to Jewish people who tell you to stop appropriating their culture. Even if they’ve done very, very bad things. You don’t get to steal a marginalized person’s culture just because you disagree with what they’ve done. That’s not an excuse.
Lilith IS Jewish. Both antizionist and Zionist Jews alike tend to agree on this, because, as much as it sucks that some people are so mislead by colonizing propaganda, we’re all still Jews! And if you’re at all a “friend” of Jews, you’ll respect if literally a single one of us says this is a closed culture practice… and tons of us do.
Go find another baby killing “deity” to worship, and leave us alone. Peace and love.
