Lillith Incantation Bowl

Lilith, first wife of Adam and Queen of the Demons, is one of the most ancient and compelling figures in mythology. In early Jewish and Christian magical practices, a subcategory of incantation bowls was created specifically to ward off influences such as the evil eye or Lillith.

I was captivated by the immagry on these bowls and the mysticism behind them!
