The story of Lilith comes from old Hebrew myth. In the Book of Isiah, Lilith is painted as a blood-sucking seductress and slayer of children, but many believe this portrayal is a misrepresentation that stems from patriarchy. As the story goes, Lilith was created alongside Adam and, because of this, saw herself as equal to him. She refused to lay beneath him when they made love. Adam, upset by this, asked God to banish her from the Garden of Eden. From Adam's rib, God made Eve, who would be subservient to him. Lilith's defiant act caused her demonization in the Bible but also made her a feminist icon.

This 8-oz soy candle is a perfect tribute to Lilith. It's scented with skin-safe, sustainable fragrance, in a lovely blend of sweet apples and earthy cedarwood, and topped with obsidian for protection and red agate for strength. Light this candle to invoke strength when you feel powerless or for protection in rituals.
