Ama Lilith

In her middle right hand she holds a hanging noose made out of an umbilical cord. In this noose a foetus or a very young child (less than 6 month old) is hanged by the neck. This represents Ama Lilith’s connection to abortion, crib death, the stillborn and barrenness in woman. Once again these things represent her as the Dark Mother that gives birth to death and through death grants rebirth into her own kingdom. The child that she snatches away before it can be given birth to in Malkuth will become one of Ama Lilith’s ‘Lilim’ in Gamaliel (there is a deeper meaning connected to this symbolism that is understood or not, depending on one’s own level of initiation and gnosis). This also connects Ama Lilith to the antithesis of the ‘mother of man’ and makes her the mother of the shadows of those who are ‘killed within the womb and resurrected within the tomb’.
