00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.600
Welcome back everyone. I'm your host Pennett Tanton, and today
2
00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:07.080
we're diving into a topic that might just make your
3
00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:10.599
skin crawl and your brain tingle. You know, we cover
4
00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:14.320
some weird stuff on the show, but this episode it's
5
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:16.839
one of those that might just get you looking over
6
00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:22.239
your shoulder. Tonight, we're talking about Lilith, the dark feminine,
7
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:26.239
the stuff of nightmares, and possibly a little closer to
8
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:30.960
home than you'd expect. So here's the deal. Is Lilith
9
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:36.359
an ancient otherworldly entity or is she something even stranger,
10
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:39.960
a kind of primal energy lingering in the shadows of
11
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:44.000
our psyche. Lilith is an old name and myth, a
12
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:49.079
figure who defies easy explanation. Some say she's Adam's first wife,
13
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:53.399
tossed out of Eden for daring to want a little equality.
14
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:57.159
Others claim she's a demon, a force that has haunted
15
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:01.479
humanity for centuries. But today Lilith is something of an
16
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:07.000
occult icon, a symbol of rebellion, independence, and yes, a
17
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:10.519
little dark power. And she's been turning up a lot lately,
18
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:14.799
maybe even knocking on a few doors, including my own.
19
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:18.760
But here's the deal. I'm not just talking theory here,
20
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.200
I'm sharing some of my own experiences. I know it
21
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:26.359
sounds a little wild, but strange things have happened around
22
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:30.599
me that I can't chalk up to just coincidence. And
23
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:33.079
trust me, when you wake up in the dead of
24
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:36.920
night with an owl hooting outside your window, when it's
25
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:40.599
never hooted before, you start to wonder if something or
26
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:45.000
someone is watching, you may want to stop the episode
27
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:49.120
here and read about my encounter on the broadcasting seed substack.
28
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:52.000
I will put the link in the show notes. So
29
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:57.359
in today's episode, we're digging into Lilith's backstory, her archetypal
30
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:01.359
and paranormal connections, and some down and write eerie personal
31
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:05.560
experiences mentioned above that might just make you question what
32
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:09.319
you know about myth and reality. Strap in, folks, this
33
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:12.280
one's going to be a rye. All right, Let's plant
34
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:48.400
some seeds, all right. Let's kick things off by setting
35
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:53.159
the stage. Who exactly is Lilith? To understand the Lilith
36
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:56.280
we're dealing with today, we need to go way back.
37
00:02:56.719 --> 00:03:01.240
I'm talking Mesopotamia, folks, a place where people really understood
38
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:04.960
how to create the stuff of nightmares. Lilith makes her
39
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:09.400
first appearance as a figure called Lilitu. In these ancient texts,
40
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:13.520
she was feared as a demonus, a creature who preyed
41
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:17.439
on children and seduced men. From the get go, she
42
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:22.240
was a figure of independence, but also danger, a woman
43
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:26.599
who didn't play by society's rules. Fast forward a few
44
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:30.879
centuries and Lilith's story really takes shape in Jewish folklore,
45
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:35.159
particularly in the Alphabet of Ben Sierra, a text from
46
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:39.439
the early Middle Ages. Here, Lilith is introduced as the
47
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:42.719
first wife of Adam. The story goes that when Adam
48
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:47.639
and Lilith were created, Lilith wasn't exactly keen on being submissive.
49
00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:52.879
She wanted equality. She wanted to be on top, quite literally.
50
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:58.000
But when Adam insisted otherwise, Lilith said sea and left
51
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:02.960
Eden entirely, refusing to back to anyone, even God. That's
52
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:07.120
when she became a dark, exiled figure, wandering the world
53
00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:11.639
and eventually taking on demonic traits. Now let's pause here
54
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:17.480
think about what that represents. Lilith wasn't kicked out for stealing, lying,
55
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:22.199
or any of the usual sins. Her crime was insisting
56
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:26.040
on autonomy. That alone makes her one of the most
57
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:30.360
rebellious figures in ancient lore, especially in a society that
58
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:35.560
valued conformity. She wasn't just rebelling against Adam, she was
59
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:40.480
rejecting the whole setup. Over time, Lilith's role grew darker.
60
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:44.800
She was said to haunt the night, seducing men, taking
61
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:48.319
vengeance on the children of Adam and Eve, and embodying
62
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:53.800
primal desires and fears. Lilith's reputation spread, and she became
63
00:04:53.839 --> 00:05:00.439
associated with everything from infant mortality to sexual temptation. Despite
64
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:04.439
her ominous image, Lilith also became a symbol of defiance,
65
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:08.759
a dark but seductive power that challenges the status quo.
66
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:12.839
And here's

where it starts to get personal. It's easy
67
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:16.439
to dismiss Lilith as a relic of the past, an
68
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:20.360
old bedtime story used to scare people into submission. But
69
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:24.639
when you've actually had experiences that echo these ancient tales,
70
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:29.560
it stops feeling like folklore and starts feeling real. Stay
71
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:33.360
with me, because next we'll explore the ways Lilith's story
72
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:37.720
continues to haunt modern times, from her influence on occult
73
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:41.399
practices to the paranormal sightings that are hard to ignore.
74
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:08.439
So we've got Lilith's origin story powerful, rebellious and dark.
75
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:13.000
But here's where things get even weirder. In modern times,
76
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:17.120
Lilith isn't just an ancient demon tucked away in old texts.
77
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:22.000
She's very much alive in the collective imagination, especially in
78
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:26.319
paranormal circles. But is she an actual entity or is
79
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:30.959
she an archetype, a powerful symbol that taps into our
80
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:35.240
deepest fears and desires. Let's look at this from both angles.
81
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:40.560
Lilith as an entity suggests she's a real presence, potentially
82
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:44.560
able to interact with people. There's no shortage of stories
83
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:47.879
out there of people claiming to have seen her or
84
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:53.079
felt her energy. And in my experience, well, let's just say,
85
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:56.040
there have been moments when it felt like something was
86
00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:02.240
actively watching me, a cold, unsettling presence, especially during late
87
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:06.079
night encounters. We're talking about an owl hooting at the
88
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:10.480
exact moment a Lilith themed podcast plays on Loop in
89
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:14.639
a place where owls don't typically hang around. The other
90
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:18.600
angle is Lilith as an archetype, a figure embedded in
91
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:22.879
the subconscious. Carl Jung would argue that figures like Lilith
92
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:30.399
represent aspects of our psyche, particularly the shadow self repressed desires, fears,
93
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:34.680
and darker impulses that we'd rather keep buried. The more
94
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:38.240
you dig into Lilith's story, the more it feels like
95
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:41.319
she's not just lurking in dark corners of the forest,
96
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:45.040
but also in the dark corners of our minds. If
97
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:48.439
you've ever felt drawn to defy norms or push against
98
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:52.639
the grain, you're tapping into that Lilith energy consciously or not.
99
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:58.360
So which is it entity or archetype? Maybe it's both.
100
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:02.079
Lilith has a way of blending the real and the symbolic,
101
00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:05.279
showing up in our lives in ways that are hard
102
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:08.879
to ignore, and if my own encounters are any indication,
103
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:12.480
she's a force that challenges us to confront things we'd
104
00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:17.800
rather not face. Whether she's real or imagined, Lilith has
105
00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:21.519
become a modern icon for those exploring the boundaries of
106
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:41.759
the paranormal, occult, and shadow work. Now this is where
107
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:45.679
things get personal. We've covered Lilith as a historical figure
108
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:49.799
and a modern paranormal presence, but what about Lilith as
109
00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:53.960
a force within personal trauma. My experiences with her have
110
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:58.080
a way of digging up past wounds, particularly those connected
111
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:02.159
to darker memories and emotion. It's almost as if Lilith's
112
00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:06.559
presence is an invitation or a challenge to confront those
113
00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:12.120
hidden scars. In many spiritual traditions, encounters with dark energies
114
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:17.279
are considered a form of spiritual warfare, testing resilience in faith.
115
00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:20.799
When I had a nightmare involving a Lilith like figure
116
00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:25.159
where she seemed to embody past traumas, it was more
117
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:28.879
than just a bad dream. Waking up at exactly three
118
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:32.240
forty nine a m haunted by a familiar dread felt
119
00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:35.320
like a direct confrontation with a part of my past.
120
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:40.279
I'd rather not revisit. The timing, the intensity, it was
121
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:44.679
all too specific, too powerful to ignore. In spiritual warfare,
122
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:49.360
the dark feminine archetype represented by figures like Lilith is
123
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:53.200
often seen as a disruptor, a force that brings the
124
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:58.120
unseen to light and forces confrontation. While she might embody
125
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:01.919
fear and temptation and myths, in real life, her presence
126
00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:05.360
can compel us to confront the hidden aspects of our
127
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:10.000
own stories. For me, these encounters felt like a summons
128
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:14.399
to face unresolved trauma head on. What's fascinating is that
129
00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:19.000
in the process I didn't just experience fear. I also
130
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:23.639
felt a strange sense of empowerment by naming, acknowledging, and
131
00:10:23.679
--> 00:10:28.399
rebuking this presence. It felt like reclaiming ground, standing up
132
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.440
to something that's been lurking in the shadows for too long.
133
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:36.399
It's as if facing Lilith's energy, even in fear, was
134
00:10:36.440 --> 00:11:06.159
a way to reclaim a piece of my past. Lilith
135
00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:09.720
has made quite the comeback lately, not just as an
136
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:13.320
ancient demonus or a nighttime menace, but as a symbol
137
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:19.440
in modern occult practices and even popular culture. Today, Lilith
138
00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:23.679
represents something more complex, a figure for those seeking to
139
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:29.200
reclaim power, independence, and those darker aspects of femininity that
140
00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:34.399
don't conform to polite society. In various occult circles, Lilith
141
00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:39.039
is embraced as a goddess of freedom, representing liberation from
142
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:43.480
social constraints. She's seen as a figure who owns her desires,
143
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:48.200
defies authority, and frankly does things her own way. This
144
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:52.639
modern Lilith isn't just about fear or rebellion, but about
145
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:57.240
empowerment and self actualization, especially for those drawn to shadow
146
00:11:57.279 --> 00:12:01.840
work and the deeper, less comfortable aspects of themselves. So
147
00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:06.279
what draws people to Lilith. Perhaps it's the sense that
148
00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:13.759
society often suppresses darker impulses, rage, defiance, independence that don't
149
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:18.759
align with traditional ideals. By embracing Lilith, people are tapping
150
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:22.360
into a part of themselves that isn't afraid to be unconventional.
151
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:27.679
But this connection isn't just philosophical. For some, it feels
152
00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:33.279
almost spiritual. Practitioners report feeling her presence or sensing her
153
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:37.440
energy during rituals, as if Lilith is more than just
154
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:40.279
an idea, but a force that can be called upon.
155
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:46.039
For me, these modern interpretations bring up mixed feelings. On
156
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:49.519
one hand, Lilith represents a source of strength and defiance.
157
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:52.759
On the other, there's a sense that her energy is
158
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:56.840
not something to be taken lightly. My own encounters felt
159
00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:01.480
like a warning, a reminder that tap into the dark feminine,
160
00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:06.799
whether as a real entity or an archetype, has its consequences.
161
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:23.039
Lilith might offer empowerment, but she also demands respect. Let's
162
00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:25.799
talk about the three forty nine am wake up call,
163
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:28.600
the moment that jolted me awake with a sense of
164
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:32.600
dread I couldn't shake in the supernatural and paranormal realm.
165
00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:36.919
There's a lot of speculation around early morning hours, often
166
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:40.480
called the witching hour or the devil's hour. These times
167
00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:43.519
are said to be when the veil between worlds is thinnest,
168
00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:47.679
making it easier for entities to interact with us. For me,
169
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:52.399
waking up at precisely three forty nine am felt too
170
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:56.440
specific to ignore. I was compelled to open up Genesis
171
00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:59.080
three p. Four nine in the Bible, as if something
172
00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:03.159
was nudging me toward it. And these verses they're loaded.
173
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:07.679
They touch on deception, temptation, and the very moment humanity
174
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:13.159
fell from grace. Lilith, often associated with defiance and rebellion,
175
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:18.039
fits into this theme of challenging the divine order. It
176
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:21.639
was like the universe was throwing a reminder that confronting
177
00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:25.720
dark forces is about recognizing their impact on our lives,
178
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:31.799
both symbolically and literally. Looking back the time, the owl
179
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:35.159
and even the scripture felt like clues guiding me through
180
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:39.960
a spiritual struggle. I hadn't fully acknowledged whether Lilith is
181
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:44.639
a real entity or a powerful archetype. Her presence isn't
182
00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:48.039
about simple fear. It's a wake up call to confront
183
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:51.759
what we'd rather keep hidden. And maybe that's the message here.
184
00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:54.559
There are parts of ourselves we need to face if
185
00:14:54.600 --> 00:15:16.559
we're going to find peace. All right, folks. That brings
186
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:19.480
us to the end of this episode of broadcasting Seeds.
187
00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:24.240
Today we dove deep into Lilith, a figure that's part
188
00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:30.000
ancient demonus, part modern icon of empowerment, and maybe something more.
189
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:34.600
We've explored her as an entity, an archetype, and even
190
00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:38.559
as a personal experience. Whether you see Lilith as a
191
00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:42.240
myth or a real force, Encounters like these remind us
192
00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:46.080
of the power in facing our shadows. If this episode
193
00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:49.799

198
00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:09.480
Got bad thoughts that make my mind scared, hold me hostage,
199
00:16:09.480 --> 00:16:11.799
and they don't fight fair? Who gonna pray for me?
200
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:14.480
And white brought my tests? Who's gonna save me? If
201
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:17.240
you're not right here, move this darkness and make my
202
00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:20.200
sight clear. Take me your way, because I don't like you.
203
00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:22.519
Don't stop my past they feel in the night.
204
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:33.120
Heare wake me up. I'm trapped in my nightmass, you
205
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:34.240
trapped in.
206
00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:40.080
My nightmas.
207
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:49.000
Trowning, trowning, I mouth the deepen apparition, some of.
208
00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:52.039
All my demons, all my thoughts. I'll come nicking trees.
209
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:54.480
It all alone. I'm gonna hear me screaming.
210
00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:58.240
Man if I stay, shits on my fists, regrets that
211
00:16:58.320 --> 00:17:01.519
stretched out for light years, almost touched the light holies
212
00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:04.519

I was fake.
216

I don't let miss Johnny. All my life is fading.
217
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:21.359
My life is fading enough.
