Lilith

The 'Alphabet of Ben-Sira' is one of the, if not the oldest known accounts of Lilith, the Alphabet is dated from between 8th and 10th centuries AD. It refers to Lilith as Adam' first wife and of her meeting with what was called 'ArchAngel' Samael, though i have read that many people believe Samael to be a fallen Angel, this is not a belief held true in all folklore and practices, i will also use a few sources from Jewish Kabbalah, the background of the Alphabet of Ben-Sira is very vague, it seems to be a collection of proverbs and tales of heroes from the bible and the Talmud.

I will be using as few quotes as possible, but when i do i shall try and list the sources for you to look into further should you wish to. 5-pentagon-and-pentagram.pdf. Jewish name.

Lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy. The Mystagogue by Gilbert Keith Chesterton. The Psychedelic Cult That Thrived For Nearly 2000 Years. The Higher Mysteries. From the beginning of recorded history, we have mention of sacred teachings concerning the rebirth of humans into a Higher Consciousness.

The Higher Mysteries

In classical literature, reference is frequently made to "the Mysteries," (ta musteria), which became the technical term for secret rites and methods known and practiced only by the priest/hierophants who had been initiated. These sacred teachings were found in the empires of India, Egypt, Persia, Greece, and Rome. The Mysteries were taught in specially created Schools by priest-hierophants who developed extraordinary techniques to assist select candidates achieve a higher state of consciousness. It's difficult for us to understand just who these hierophants were, since our concept of priesthood is so different from those earlier times.

In the Western world, a priest is merely a cleric who has studied his religion's scriptures and leads those who follow its dogmas. Jocasta. In Greek mythology, Jocasta /dʒoʊˈkæstə/, also known as Jocaste (Greek: Ἰοκάστη), Epikastê,[1] or Iokastê was a daughter of Menoeceus and Queen consort of Thebes, Greece.

Jocasta

She was the wife of Laius, mother of Oedipus, and both mother and grandmother of Antigone, Eteocles, Polynices and Ismene. She was also sister of Creon and mother-in-law of Haimon. Oedipus thus grew up in Corinth under the assumption that he was the biological son of Polybus and his wife (whose name is Merope according to Sophocles, Periboa according to Appollodorus). However, he began to hear rumors about his actual parentage, so he consulted the Delphic Oracle. Oedipus was informed by the oracle that he was fated to kill his father and to marry his mother.

The biographies of men outside the Bible sometimes leave us cold. The characters portrayed seem to be too ideal. Nothing is said about their faults, weaknesses and sins. But as we pursue our journey through the Scriptures, we are greatly encouraged, for here are those of like passions as ourselves. In his arresting chapter on “Composite Portraits,” in The Joy of Bible Study, Harrington Lees reminds us that ...the lives of men and women who speak to us from the pages of Scripture may be a veritable gold-mine of experience to us if we can remember the fact that they lived similar lives and triumphed—by faith, as the writer to the Hebrews reminds us—or, if they entered not into their land of promise, failed through disobedience or unbelief.

The Bible is the most faithful book in the world. Begin with a person whose story is briefly told. [GENERAL] Ancient Temple Structure / Hierarchy? Free eBooks: Occult, Witchcraft, Prophecy, Sourcery, Divination (Kindle Nook iPad PDF EPub Html) DigitalBookIndex. MaryMagdalena. Lilith by John Collier.
