When Lilith and Samael are invoked together or represented mythically as lovers, their “children” are often seen as disruptors—supernatural hybrids who exist to challenge the norm and tilt the axis of power. As mentioned before, Lilith is said to collect the “wasted seed” of men (from nocturnal emissions or masturbation) and use it to conceive demonic children. This was an old-world way of explaining sexual shame, wet dreams, and “unholy” desires—and blaming Lilith for it all.

Why It Matters (Even Now)

These mythologies weren’t just spooky bedtime stories—they were ways of controlling sexuality, especially women’s. Lilith represented lust without consequence, and Samael brought death without remorse. Together, they formed a mythic power couple that scared the hell out of medieval theologians.

Today, reclaiming Lilith and even Samael can mean embracing:

  • Your shadow self

  • Sexual power without shame

  • Spiritual autonomy

  • And the creation of something wild and new from what society considers taboo

Cambions, then, are symbols of hybrid identity: part human, part divine, part chaos. Much like many of us. A Moonfall article doesn’t just leave us with myth—it gives a blueprint. Working with Lilith isn’t about worship; it’s about partnership. She doesn’t want passive devotion. She wants truth, boldness, and accountability.

Here’s a quick sketch from their guide:

  • Tools: Black candles, obsidian, bloodstone, mugwort or wormwood, and an open mind. (sage or rosemary are ok if mugwort or wormwood is unavailable - and dried herbs are acceptable as well)

  • Timing: Dark Moon or New Moon nights—when the sky itself goes into hiding.

  • Vibe: This isn’t about casting love spells or manifesting money. This is about reclaiming power, confronting shadow, and leveling up spiritually—without permission.

  • Invocation: A direct, honest prayer—preferably out loud. Lilith doesn’t answer to fear. She responds to truth.

Whether you're casting a ritual or simply calling her name when life’s gets too shitty, just know this: Lilith is less a spirit to summon than a state of being to embody.

Beyond the Witchy Aesthetic

In conclusion, Lilith stands at the intersection of spiritual power and sociopolitical resistance. She represents the parts of femininity society still tries to suppress anger, lust, rebellion, and refusal. Not only is she invoked in witchcraft, astrology (look up your Black Moon Lilith placement), and shadow work, but her symbolism runs deep in feminist theology and trauma recovery.

Lilith doesn’t just empower women—she awakens anyone who’s tired of bending, shrinking, or waiting for approval. She challenges us to ask: Where have I betrayed myself to be accepted? And more importantly: What happens when I stop doing that? So, if you’re tired of playing nice —she might be exactly who you need to tap into. And as always, protect yourself and surroundings PRIOR to any spell work especially invocations!

So, is Lilith the one to conjure when you’re up to no good? Magic 8 Ball says: “Signs point to hell yes.”

Whether you know her as Adam’s first wife, mother of demons, or just that energy you channel when you've had enough of everyone’s nonsense—Lilith in all her grandeur, is the ideal type of pure hatred you'd need to get your point across. She is not a figure to incorporate into your life and be taken lightly. She is the shadow of the divine feminine, unfiltered and uncompromising. She’s also one of the most misunderstood mythological forces in spiritual and occult traditions.

Let’s get it straight: Lilith is not your average goddess. She doesn’t wear flower crowns or float around blessing harvests. She demands autonomy, insists on sexual sovereignty, and scorches any system that tries to box her in. She IS the first and foremost divine feminine and her entity ensures you know it. So prepare to humble yourself if you are to call upon her. Personally, to me she sounds like a problem. But, she just may well be a last resort for me one day, so let me not eschew the very thought of her jusdt yet. . .

The Original Exit Strategy: Lilith in the Ancient Texts

According to Judaic folklore, Lilith was Adam’s first partner—created from the same earth, not from a rib. That distinction is critical. Equal creation = equal authority. But when Adam tried to lay claim to dominance (in more ways than one), Lilith refused to comply. She spoke the ineffable name of God and walked. No tears, no theatrics — just divine self-respect.

As noted in the Moonfall Metaphysical deep-dive, this made her dangerous in the eyes of patriarchal theology. So what did ancient scribes do? They demonized her. Literally. Said she lived in the desert, copulated with demons, and birthed thousands of chaotic spirits. But here's the academic-to-street truth: that “spent seed of man” she supposedly used? It’s symbolic of wasted masculine potential—unchecked desire, ego, and powers denied purpose.

Lilith became the shadow—everything "good girls" weren’t supposed to be: untamed, erotic, wrathful, and unrepentantly free. And that’s exactly why so many are reclaiming her today.

Hooking Up with Archangels & Lighting Black Candles: The Ritual Side of Lilith

Lilith isn't your soft, glowing Hecate moon goddess. She's the damn eclipse! She awakens your power, whether you're ready for it or not. Lilith made the first wormhole and was able to escape such overbearing tyranny. Now, pair her up with say, a formidable EQUAL? (Because, Lilith is going to Lilith) Enter Samael, whose name means "Venom of God" or “Poison of God,” and he's a complex figure. He appears in various mystical and apocalyptic Jewish texts as both an angel of destruction and judgment and as a seducer or adversary. He is often depicted as:

  • The angel of death

  • The accuser (similar to Satan in early Jewish thought)

A force of divine justice that operates outside of human morality

Now here’s where things get… mythically spicy; In some unclear cosmic roundabout way, Lilith & Samael become lovers. In Kabbalistic and occult traditions, Lilith and Samael are paired as spiritual consorts, or divine opposites, functioning in the realm of the Qliphoth (the dark or shadow side of the Tree of Life). Think of them as a demonic mirror to Adam and Eve.

Together, Lilith and Samael represent a sacred sexuality turned raw and unbound. Rebellion against divine order and the dangerous potency of feminine and masculine energies when unregulated by moralism

Their union is said to produce spiritual offspring, often called demons, spirits, or cambions. And what is a Cambion, You Ask? . . . Hmph, aptly enough, they're beings born of spirit and flesh. Yup, a cambion is a being born from the union of a human and a supernatural entity— (so, technically the Christian Jesus would be one, right? [I digress 😉]) Anyway, it's usually a demon or succubus/incubus. The term became popular in medieval demonology and later occult writings.

  • Think: Merlin in Arthurian legend (often described as a cambion)

  • Or characters like Raven in DC Comics, who is the daughter of a human and the demon Trigon!
