The First Rebel

Line work for painting, my image of Lilith, the first woman, before Eve.

Stories thru out time have been made to turn her rebellious nature into that of a demonic harlot who murders children. But was God the one who spoke these words or Man, trying to keep females in line.

My theory:

She was not a demoness nor completely innocent either. She was the other half of female nature, Eve represents compassion, innocence and curiosity. Lilith represents independence, sensuality and courage. Eve biting the apple was her embracing that half of her nature, which slowly as history as shown us, took hold and is the dominant attitude of many women around the world.

Was it unplanned by God, I seriously doubt it. God tells us that true strength comes from life's experience and thru the survival of the hardest trails. God in a way, was training women to discover their own strength and for men to see and embrace it, thru their mothers, sisters, daughters and wives.

But Lilith also represents this wilder nature when it is not controlled, it can then do more harm then good. Embrace your sensuality but don't use it as a weapon or a means of gaining power, don't let stubbornness narrow your views and do not let your pride prevent you from asking for help or admitting you we're wrong.

As perfect as God made us, we are only a half a true female if we hide half of who we are.

Eve and Lilith are two halves of the same coin, one can't survive without the other.
