Hail Lilith, who once lived in the huluppu tree Between the dragon and the eagle, Between earth and air, male and female, Hairy Goddess of the dancing sandstorm, Dark Maiden of the desert. Hail Lilith who was also once the first wife of Adam, Who refused submission and demanded independence, And so it was granted; that you would be complete in yourself. Hail to Her who refused to lie beneath, Mother of incubi and succubi, mother of lusts, Barren one who brings barrenness, Even as the desert is barren. You are come again like the scirocco, Truth stripped of frippery, Sphinx of the cliffs, Dancing in a dervish whirl, Shapechanger who is sometimes part goat And sometimes ass or taloned owl. You are the bridge between the theories of the mind And the truth of the body. Challenge us, Lilith, with your harsh words And your unforgiving truth. We will dance with you On the cutting edge of answers. Chant: Lilitu Lilitu We kneel for Lilitu (The bullroarer is taken up and swung about, and while this is done all chant. At the end, the wine is poured out as a libation.) [source:paganbookofhours.org]
