I’m joined by Dr. Eliza Robertson , academic, astrologer, and award-winning author, for a deeply poetic exploration of Lilith’s many faces: as rebellious archetype, as astrological presence ( Black Moon Lilith ), and as a symbol of the uncultivated, ungovernable feminine .  Often cast as the first wife of A...
