before eve, there was lilith
the first woman to exist in jewish mythology was exiled from the garden of eden because she refused to give up her power & submit to her male counterpart
today, in our post-colonial, capitalistic, & patriarchal world, we see the same pattern where women & fems are disrespected, abused, and even killed for standing in our power and refusing to submit to the men & mascs who believe they know better
as a woman who lives with cptsd as a result of an abusive relationship, at 15 years old i met someone 5 years older than me who would groom and abuse me for the next 4 years of my life
in my own chaotic and imperfect search for healing, i crafted a medicine that directly addresses the mental, emotional, & spiritual effects of trauma. this herbal elixir is called the essence of lilith
🥀 hibiscus works on the heart & reproductive system, encouraging the reclamation of sexuality by opening up our bodys potential for pleasure
🥀 lemon balm & nettles are both nervines that support emotional stability through the balancing of intense emotions
🥀 passionflower is a sedative and psychoactive that immediately decreases the anxiety & overall nervous system dysregulation that can result from trauma
🥀 rosehips soothes the heart by balancing hormones & reducing pain which allows us to open up to new love & connection
ever since the beginning of time, fems have utilized the power of nature & our intuition to assist our communities in healing from a world that can be so cruel & unrelenting. this is what we were burned alive for, as our psychic abilities that transcended understanding through logic alone threatened the white male dominated "healthcare" model that was created out of greed
now is a better time than ever to tap back into the healing power of nature and intuition and really value the contributions of the women & fems around us
the link to the essence of lilith is in my bio
happy women's history month 🫂🖤
shoutout to everybody that came out & showed love ⛦ & especially to those who let me feed them my potions & read them for filth... this is only the beginning 🃏
