| Riepilogo: | The article presents the feminist discourse on Lilith and asks why she has returned to the centre of activity and creation? It begins with Lilith's Integrative Myth - a description of the classic Lilith myths - whilst trying to define her image's central characteristics. Following, I offer one integrative myth: a complex essence that contains contrasts, and stems from a variety of sources, each contributing to the formation of Lilith's story's numerous aspects. Lilith's Revival is discussed, surveying the different ways in which Lilith appears in today's feminist spiritual discourse, while presenting some of the ways in which her story is re-interpreted and used towards contemporary feminist needs. A feminist Jungian outlook on Lilith's Myths is included, deciphering Lilith as a symbol of the life-death-life cycle, which leads to a summary of the Jungian analysis' implications. |
