Both revered and feared, Lilith is only mentioned once in the Bible, but throughout history she has stirred up much controversy.
In this fascinating and lavishly illustrated talk, Dr Alinda Damsma will discuss Lilith in all her different roles: from Ancient Mesopotamia up to the modern-day Wicca movement.
What do we actually know about Lilith? What does she look like? Why is her name written on ancient skulls? Why is Lilith so important in the Kabbalah? Does she have a role to play during the time of the witch-hunts?
These and many other topics will be discussed in this compelling lecture.
