DESCRIPTION

The origins of Lilith is mired in heavy debate, but no matter the variant one thing remains the same, she would not submit to the role created for her without her wants considered. Whether that made her a demoness, a fallen woman, or a Goddess is dependent on what you need from her. It is undeniable that governmental bodies and societal expectations throughout the world still seek to deny women rights to their own bodies and free will. You Don't Own Me is infused with the intent to help an individual find the inner fury and power to combat these forces as the practitioner faces in their life. You Don't Own Me is not limited to use by people identifying as women, as men also gain much wisdom and aid from the Goddess Lilith and are hurt by forces applying strict binaries that by restricting the rights of one also limits the full expression of the other.

It has often also been attributed to Christ, though less often. It's berries are sensuous but also potentially tart, seductive and sharp. Blackberries are a member of the rose family. Blackberry leaves are ruled by Venus and Scorpio, and related to female sexuality while the berries are ruled by earth and related to prosperity. The entire plant is highly protective.

As a fruit that survives well only long periods of time they have helped many people through the lean times of winter.
