Lilith the First Eve by Siegmund Hurwitz, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

In a fascinating excursion through the history of her myth, Siegmund Hurwitz presents and interprets the ancient dark-winged goddess Lilith, also known as ’the first Eve.’ The author’s extraordinarily meticulous study of the original sources brings to light a striking figure long lost from our awareness, yet highly relevant to a psychological understanding of today’s evolving masculine and feminine identities. Case material from his analytical practice imbeds Lilith in the everyday problems of contemporary life. "That an unbridled life-urge which refuses to be assimilated lies behind depression seems to me to be a new and important discovery. By combining the experience of a contemporary man with this historical material, Siegmund Hurwitz sheds new light on both." - From the Foreword by Marie-Louise von Franz. | Lilith the First Eve by Siegmund Hurwitz, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
