for some reason this week, I’ve been seeing plenty of Lilith appropriation for some odd time—arguing with it a lot. My biggest question for anyone wanting to defend Lilith being open is this:
Why do you want to argue that she’s open?
I have never ever seen one good reason to it. Judaism has faced several genocides, expulsions, and unmeasurable suffering. Even if she was open, why cling to being from a people that have suffered so much? That fought so hard to keep themselves alive and going, to keep their sacred scrolls intact? You cannot prove spirituality exists, but what you know is that people exist. And Jewish people deserve to have their identity respected.
Especially when there are open beings like Babalon, Aphrodite, Bellona, Kotys, etc that all can embody dark femininity. Especially Bellona if you’re going for a violent femininity angle. Just. Why?

Devotional pendant featuring images associated with Hephaistos, the Greek god of metalwork, smithing, and craft. Hephaistos name is commonly transliterated into English as Hephaestus, and he is known to the Romans as Vulcan. The anvil, hammer, tongs, and elemental fire triangle were chosen based on my own decades of work with the god.
* One inch (27mm) in diameter, 3mm thick, with a bail suitable for a 2-3mm chain.
* Made of solid .925 sterling silver or shibuichi (an art metal alloy made of 3:1 copper:silver), yellow brass, or bronze.
* Available as a coin, with an upeye for use as a pendant, or with three jump rings for use in a rosary-style necklace.
Each piece is hand-made to order in my home studio, with unique variations and defects as a result of the fabrication and casting process.
