LILITH and the LOST CITY: An Introduction to Inclusive Dae Philosophy and Practice


We live in a society based on the concept of “OR”, forced to deny the “imperfect” parts of ourselves according to the mainstream’s definitions. But what if there was another way? A different philosophy that could be applied to magickal practice and that would allow you to redefine your power, better accept yourself, and shake off the “OR” definitions of Angel vs. Daemon set up in our Western culture?Join Lilithian Daemonics Practitioner and veteran Pagan mentor Tava Baird, author of The Book of Samael, for an alternative view of life, the afterlife, and your own divinity as channeled from her Spirit Guide, Samael. Pull out the monsters from under the bed and understand humanity as Samael sees it…and walk away with an empowering and loving perspective to apply to your magick.

In this ritual we find meaning by engaging with opposition and hardship to restore ourselves and the world to spiritual wholeness.  The Restoration of all Things was a 19^th century Mormon vision for binding the past to the present to unite all people in justice, righteousness, and in harmony with the Earth. This is a principle from my Mormon origins that still serves me well in these difficult times.   
This ritual includes stories, songs, and sharing of foods that are symbolic of the Mormon past. It is structured like a Jewish Passover seder that includes time for questions and discussion.  
Mormonism in the 19^th century was a radical//liberal religious alternative to mainstream American Christianity.  The principles taught and practiced in those times were rejected by mainstream America and the Mormons were forced to flee to the Great Basin in the West. Decades later Mormonism was forced to assimilate to American mainstream culture. Now is a good time to look at this alternative spiritual path not taken.
