Book excerpt: In the The Awakening of Adam, I told you the story of Adam, a lonely, frustrated, and guilt-ridden whistlepig. All of his concerns were erased by his marvelous awakening. Now I shall tell you of The Redemption of Lilith-Eve. So gather round, both young and old, so that you might learn of Lilith-Eve's journey. Adam was ornery, but Lilith was down and dirty and just plain mean. She didn't begin that way. Before she could even waddle, Lilith's world became one of hurt and humiliation. Cruel and harsh events began to shape her into a very self-centered and very nasty she-pig, but Lilith had great teachers and survived. She formed a most unlikely friendship with Angel. Angel was a steadfast friend and Lilith's guardian. She also met Agnus, a kindly, caring two-leg. As the cycles passed, Lilith became more and more repulsed at what she had become. Her regrets spawned a yearning for atonement, and her transformation began suddenly- and violently. The Redemption of Lilith-Eve is an allegorical treasure that will touch your spirit. The future of Eve and Adam is revealed in Part III, The Journey of Love.
Book Synopsis The Vampire in Nineteenth-Century Literature by : Brooke Cameron
Download or read book The Vampire in Nineteenth-Century Literature written by Brooke Cameron and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-07-04 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Against the social and economic upheavals that characterized the nineteenth century, the border-bending nosferatu embodied the period’s fears as well as its forbidden desires. This volume looks at both the range among and legacy of vampires in the nineteenth century, including race, culture, social upheaval, gender and sexuality, new knowledge and technology. The figure increased in popularity throughout the century and reached its climax in Dracula (1897), the most famous story of bloodsuckers. This book includes chapters on Bram Stoker’s iconic novel, as well as touchstone texts like John William Polidori’s The Vampyre (1819) and Sheridan Le Fanu’s Carmilla (1872), but it also focuses on the many “Other” vampire stories of the period. Topics discussed include: the long-war veteran and aristocratic vampire in Varney; the vampire as addict in fiction by George MacDonald; time discipline in Eric Stenbock’s Studies of Death; fragile female vampires in works by Eliza Lynn Linton; the gender and sexual contract in Mary Elizabeth Braddon’s “Good Lady Ducayne;” cultural appropriation in Richard Burton’s Vikram and the Vampire; as well as Caribbean vampires and the racialized Other in Florence Marryat’s The Blood of the Vampire. While drawing attention to oft-overlooked stories, this study ultimately highlights the vampire as a cultural shape-shifter whose role as “Other” tells us much about Victorian culture and readers’ fears or desires.

The editors have provided the space for contemporary women to link themselves to a tradition and participate in a sacred activity, thereby infusing energy into Lilith and creating a new tradition.

Book Synopsis Perceptions of Childhood in the Victorian Fin-de-Siècle by : Jennifer Sattaur
Download or read book Perceptions of Childhood in the Victorian Fin-de-Siècle written by Jennifer Sattaur and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2011-01-18 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reads Victorian fin de siècle literature through the medium of perceptions of childhood. It examines the connection between ‘monstrous’ and idealistic symbolic representations of childhood represented by key cultural discourses of the Victorian fin-de-siècle. Specifically, anxieties about change are linked closely to anxieties about childhood, procreation, and maturation in a range of Children’s and Adults’ texts from the 1860s to the 1890s. The book demonstrates the ways in which the emergent social movements which have come to define and represent change in the fin-de-siècle period were inherently concerned with the ideas of childhood and parenthood and the ways in which they represented both the promise and the threat of the future. The texts are arranged by theme, and grouped according to whether they are seen primarily as intended for children, or for adults. In texts intended for adult readers, images of childhood are more covert and more metaphorical than those texts aimed at child readers, in which overt pedagogical concerns are often brought to bear. Nothing embodies the idea of the future more than the children who stand as a bridge between ‘now’ and ‘then.’ This book analyses the connections between Victorian perceptions of childhood and the anxieties and upheavals of the Victorian Fin-de-Siècle.
Book Synopsis Lilith's Fire by : Deborah Grenn-Scott
Download or read book Lilith's Fire written by Deborah Grenn-Scott and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2000-07 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Lilith's Fire, Grenn-Scott examines why and how modern women are still demonized-identified as "bad" for actions perceived as reasonable for men, through techniques used for thousands of years-and how women have started to reverse this tendency by redefining right and wrong. Demonization, she notes, has been effective: controlling, manipulating and dividing women to keep them powerless, pitting Lilith against Eve, "good girl" against "bad girl"; and as a means of keeping one group, religion or idea dominant over another. In dismantling this technique, the author shows that portrayals of women as innately evil undermine the self-confidence of all women, and in turn their ability to take risks, assume leadership or claim power, from bedroom to boardroom. She provides strong models for women of a more proud, sensual, confident way of being; along the way, she poses difficult questions, such as: How can women become more aware that they have choice? Do we give our religious and spiritual leaders too much power? How do we make change, in our own lives and in the world? What forms of social action are most effective? Lilith's Fire opens a dialogue that the author hopes may lead to some answers, as it offers women a transformational tool to help them recognize, appreciate and draw on the strength and creativity of their own lifeforce, the first step in creating positive change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a unique collection of two of the Inklings and their literary associates’ views on the negative impacts of technology in various areas of life and the resolution of these impacts through fellowship with others and faith in the Creator. Some of these essays offer suggestions on how ensnarement by social media and surrender to modern technology can be countered by surrender to God. Other essays also demonstrate how the significant literary craft of these authors can enchant readers and invite them into fairylands from which they return empowered and with a keener spiritual vision to tackle universal and present concerns.
Book Synopsis Lilith The Forgotten Goddess by : Halue Mane
Download or read book Lilith The Forgotten Goddess written by Halue Mane and published by Ahzuria Publishing. This book was released on 2024-08-29 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lilith The Forgotten Goddess The traditional story of creation holds a mystery that has been perpetuated for centuries. Was Eve really Adam's first wife? Many cultures around the world say not. According to these traditions, before Eve, God created another woman, one who refused to take on a subordinate role to the man represented by Adam. Lilith, rejecting submission, fled Eden and was later demonized by the patriarchal cultures that developed. However, Lilith has evolved from a figure associated with evil in ancient traditions to become a contemporary symbol of emancipated femininity. Through a detailed analysis of historical texts, mystical traditions and modern reinterpretations, this book explores the complexities of Lilith and her lasting influence on discussions of gender, power and autonomy. The narrative reveals how Lilith transcended her origins to become an icon of resistance and a reflection of cultural and social struggles for equality. Over the centuries, the figure of Lilith has been a controversial and multifaceted symbol, representing both a feared threat and a force for female empowerment. This book traces Lilith's evolution from her roots in Mesopotamian and Jewish traditions, where she was seen as an evil spirit, to her modern re-signification as an icon of emancipatory femininity. The work explores how Lilith, initially demonized for her refusal to submit to male authority, has been reconfigured over time, especially in mystical and esoteric contexts, as a figure of power and resistance. By analyzing her various representations, the book highlights Lilith's relevance in contemporary discussions about gender, power and autonomy, offering a comprehensive view of how ancient myths can influence and reflect modern struggles for equality. This narrative not only sheds light on Lilith's past, but also places her at the center of current debates on identity and freedom.
Download or read book The Case for Lilith written by Mark Biggs and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2010-03-24 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legend of Lilith is undoubtedly the most fantastic of all ancient rabbinic myths. According to lore, God created her from dust alongside Adam. However, Lilith was a failed mate. She was not animated by the breath of God like Adam. Rather she was preemptively animated by a Satanic mist which erupted from the ground. Lilith rebelled against Adam and became the infamous Serpent who deceived Eve and caused Adam to fall. Therefore, God established eternal enmity between the Serpent Lilith and Eve and between their seed. Lilith's seed would bruise the heel of Eve's promised seed, Messiah, but Eve's seed would revive to crush Lilith’s head. This book reveals 23 Biblical evidences that prompted ancient rabbis to conclude the various elements of Lilith's legend. It also explains how her legend is completely consistent with traditional Judaic / Christian teachings on the Bible's redemptive message. Her legend solves many ancient Biblical mysteries, such as why the Serpent bears seed like Eve.

Book Synopsis Eve's Journey by : Nehama Aschkenasy
Download or read book Eve's Journey written by Nehama Aschkenasy and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2015-08-12 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Eve's Journey, Nehama Aschkenasy traces the migration of several female images and feminine situations from their early appearances in Biblical writings to their incarnations in modern Hebraic literature. Focusing on the evolution of early female archetypes and prototypes, Aschkenasy uncovers the ancient roots of modern female characters and traces the changing cultural perceptions of women in Hebraic letters. The author draws on the vast body of Hebraic literary documents to illustrate how the female character is a mirror of her times as well as being a product of her creator''s imagination and conception of the woman's role in society and in fiction. The historical spectrum, provided by a discussion of Biblical narratives, Midrashic sources, documents of the Jewish mystics, Hasidic tales, and modern Hebrew works, allows an understanding of the metamorphosis that the female figure has experienced in her literary odyssey.

Book Synopsis Awakening Desire by : Irene Alexander
Download or read book Awakening Desire written by Irene Alexander and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-04-19 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hope of this book is that it awakens desire to know more intimately the God who breaks through our compartmentalization and naming. While most in the West have heard God's name as almost exclusively masculine, a child growing up in Israel would have experienced the Spirit of God, and Lady Wisdom, as female. This ruach, the breath of God, brooded over the face of the deep in the creation story like a hovering mother bird. The God of the Bible and the early church has been described with both masculine and feminine imagery, referred to by the church fathers and mystics as both Mother and Father. In our time we have lost much of this rich feminine imagery. This book explores not only this historical knowing of God but also more contemporary writers, such as Carl Jung, Paul Young (The Shack), George MacDonald, and Thomas Merton. Each of these men engaged with the Divine Feminine, giving us examples of how we too may find God more deeply and more intimately.
