 Lilith
Statue
$85.00US
This image of Lilith is based largely on
a Sumerian clay tablet relief from 2000 BC. She wears the horned crown
that marks her as a Goddess not a demon in Sumerian mythology. Lilith
appears in Sumerian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Canaanite, Persian, Hebrew,
Arabic and Teutonic mythology. She is also known as Adam's "first wife"
who refused to "lie beneath." In the oldest mythologies she is a Goddess
and in later stories she is demonized. Lilith is a motherless form of the
divine feminine even known to some as the wife of Yahweh. As the
embodiment of the neglected, outcast and rejected aspects of the Great
Goddess she calls women to rise up in strength to reclaim their own
divinity. Available Finishes:

of Jormungand, the world serpent, at Ragnarók
(the doom of the gods). It stands 3-1/4 inches
tall and weighs 9 oz. Brass. Please

 Odin
Statue Image

the Norse pantheon. He fathered Thor, Baldur, Hoder, Tyr, Bragi, Heimdall,
Ull, Vidar, Hermod and Vali. His wives were Fjorgyn, Frigga and Rind. He
roamed Midgard (the human world) seducing women so many mortals could
trace their ancestry to him. He invented the runes and was at once wise,
kind and cruel - perhaps representing human nature. Odin was killed by
Fenrir the wolf at Ragnarók, the doom
of the gods. The original of this bronze statue was found in Lindby,
Skane, Sweden and is here reproducted in Black/gold colored Ganges
clay statue. 8" tall. Please allow 2 weeks shipping on this
