"Inanna tended the tree carefully and lovingly; she hoped to have a throne and a bed made for herself from its wood. After ten years, the tree had matured. But in the meantime, she found to her dismay that her hopes could not be fulfilled. Because during that time, a dragon had built its nest at the foot of the tree, the Zu-bird was raising its young in the crown, and the demon Lilith had built her house in the middle. But Gilgamesh, who had heard of Inanna's plight, came to her rescue. He took his heavy shield, killed the dragon with his gigantic bronze axe, which weighed seven talents and seven minas. Then the Zu-bird flew into the mountains with its young, while Lilith, petrified with fear, tore down her house and fled into the wilderness."
-The Epic of Gilgamesh
Lilith is a goddess of many monikers. This candle honors her ancient and primordial origins as a spirit of the wind.
This light, fresh scent opens with top notes of clean citrus followed by sweet florals of jasmine and violets and rests on a base of cedar, sandalwood, musk, tonka, and light amber notes.
Dressed with wormwood from my own poison garden.
