   Episode 15: Dark Goddesses - Lilith

   *EDIT* OOPS! I played with your hearts and somehow managed to upload an incomplete file. The full episode is now live. My apologies! Now you can truly learn about our next dark goddess: Lilith. Enjoy! In their second installment focusing on dark goddesses, Megan tells Shannon about Sumerian, Babylonian and Hebrew goddess, Lilith, long vilified as the she-demon, and "snake-like temptress" first wife of Adam in Biblical lore whose reputation has evolved as a patron goddess of women, femmes and queer folx when it comes to equal rights body and sovereignty.
