"So as some of you may or may not know, the last several months I've been working on a piece about Lilith. I devoted a chapter to her in Secrets of Rusty Things but to make sure everyone is on the same page the basic background of the Lilith story is that according to Jewish myth she was Adam's first partner. She, unlike Eve (who was made from Adam), was made of the same dust Adam was, thus she was his equal, thus a tad more independent than her symbolic sister...just a tad. As the story goes she would not submit to Adam (not to get too graphic...but lets just say sexual positions were part of the conflict). She wanted to be Adam's equal. Ultimately when Lilith decides she can't handle being beneath Adam (physically and metaphorically) she flies the coop. Literally. She flew off to the Red Sea where she made her new home. Adam tried to get her back, and three angels were sent to retrieve her. She had been hanging out, copulating with demons when they arrived and they threatened to kill 100 of her offspring a day if she did not return. To counter she replied that she would be on the prowl for any infants or pregnant mothers who came from the lineage of Adam. Needless to say...they stayed separated."
Stjelt fra denne bloggen. Jeg tegner en del for tida, blant annet Lilith. I det siste har jeg ikke gjort annet enn å tegne svarte tegninger, landskap og skoger og sett på Ringenes herre og hørt på Windir og det har vært veldig fint. Satser på å går fra hekseri og demoner og over til enter, dryads og andre skogsfenomener snart. Og det skal bli bra. Jeg synes wannabe-alvejenter er skikkelig provoserende. Det er alt for mange av de der ute. "Å, jeg er så glad i skogen og dyra og ringenes herre så da skal jeg være en alv og tegne og male hele tiden og lage andre stygge ting og være glad og zen absolutt hele tiden og skrive om det på blogg.no". Så INGEN skal tro at jeg er en av de, selvom jeg ser på LOTR og hører på Windir og tegner skogsdyr. Jeg har faktisk bloggen på blogspot.
