by Lichtenberg and Sollnitz traveling to Erlangen. This is found in the table as
November 18, 1888. The observation of May 8, 1764, by Hoffman, near Gotha, is
found in the table on May 2, 1890.
The conjunction given in the table on March 12, 1863, should be altered to
March 13. The rest of the dates are taken out correctly for a mean synodical
revolution of 177 days, which experiment has shown to be fairly exact. Having
proved the existence of the satellite, we may presume an influence so long as it
remains in relation with the Earth.
The influence of Lilith is undoubtedly obstructive and fatal, productive of
various forms of catastrophes and accidents, sudden upsets, changes, and states of
confusion. Falling in the fifth house of a horoscope, it has been found to indicate the
insanity and death of a lover, loss of children, and death by childbirth. In the third
house, it has signified accidents and death of brothers and sisters, and a series of
troubles arising out of correspondence. In four cases under observation, the presence
of Lilith in the sixth house has produced dangerous occupation ending in fatality.
The name Lilith comes from the Hebrew word Lilah, which means the Night.
Dr. Wynn Westcott, the well known author of several treatises upon Rabbinical
literature, and especially reputable as the exponent of the Kabalistic notions of the
Hebrews, has the following notes upon the Spirit Lilith, or Lilis, as derived through
Semitic traditions:  Concerning Lilith, or Lilis, there is an immense collection of
38
fables. In some she is a woman of pre-Adamic race, whom Adam found, and she was
his first wife, and she begat demons. In others she is a Queen Demon, who seduces
Adam and brings forth devils. Again, she is a general succubus at all times. Another
idea is that she is constantly on the watch to do evil to the newborn babe who is not
protected by Jewish theological rites. Again, that she is a vampire always seeking to
kill infants; and again, that she seeks to kill men also, and that no man is safe who
sleeps in a house alone, for he may thus be captured as Adam was. She is also
commonly called the wife of Samael and the mother of Shedim, and she ensnares.
Lilith means a dust-cloud, but is also translated as Owl, and as a Screeching Bird of
Night.
In the  Secret Doctrine it is stated that  the third and fourth races became tall
with pride:  We are kings, it was said,  we are gods. They took wives fair to look
at, wives from the mindless, the narrow-headed. They bred monsters, wicked
demons, male and female. Also, Liliths with little minds. The Rabbinical stories
about Lilith would appear to have come down from the Lemurian and Atlantean ages.
These  giants of the Earth, who were primarily  sons of God, mind born, took to
themselves the  daughters of man, those who had come up along the line of physical
evolution to the human-animal stage, but were without the spiritual inspiration which
made of the Adamic race  living souls. Hence they were call the  mindless, though
possessing natural intelligence derived from instinct, passion, and commerce with
material things. They were of the pre-Adamic evolution, and their progeny from the
sons of Mind was of the nature of Lilith, Rakshasas, Dakini, ghouls, demons, of the
kind commonly known as incubi and succubi.
This note is of remarkable significance, inasmuch as it confirms the
astrological character of Dr. Waltemath s second Earth satellite, which, for reasons I
cannot here enter into, I at once christened Lilith. Suffice it to say that both in the
East and West the dark, seldom visible, and mysterious  Eight Sphere is
traditionally known. But more to our purpose is the fact that a considerable research
already made has revealed the influence of Lilith (the satellite) to be just that which
the Hebrews ascribed to Lilith (the mother of devils). The name is derived from
Lilah (Hebrew, the night), and just as Adam was overcome by Lilith, so Samson was
overcome by his Philistine wife, De-lilah.
Those who understand that a myth is a veil will not be content to scan the
literal tradition, but will further seek to know and understand what truth lies behind
the veil.
Let us now look at some of the astrological facts.
The following instances of young men who lost their lives while following
their respective occupations have been sent to me from the Newcastle Colliery.

The times of birth are all authentic, having been given to my correspondent by
the parents themselves, and as they offer some interesting point for the student, I will
venture to bring them forward in detail.
No 1.  Born August 5, 1863, at 4.55pm. Killed in the Seaham Colliery
explosion by pit-fire September 8, 1880.
I find by calculation that the 29th degree of Libra is on the meridian at birth,
and the 23rd degree of Sagittarius rising. The following are the places of the planets at
the time of birth:
Sun12 Leo 43 Moon 4 Taurus 10 Neptune 5 Aries 56
Uranus 23 Gemini 49 Saturn 2 Libra 5 Jupiter 21 Libra 11
Mars 1 Capricorn 14 Venus 27 Capricorn 14 Mercury 15 Leo 20
Lilith 7 Gemini
The Moon is found in the fourth house in the fixed and earthly sign Taurus in
square to Sun, and Neptune in Leo in the eighth house, and the ascendant is opposed
by the exact aspect of Uranus. Lilith holds the cusp of the sixth house in the airy sign
of Gemini. These are the immediate signs of danger in connection with the
occupation of a collier.
Lilith causes rapid changes and upsets, its influence being unfortunate and
violent, disruptive and fatal.
On September 8, 1880, the native was killed in the Seaham Colliery
explosion, or rather by pit-fire following upon the explosion. His age was then 17
years 1 month. The Moon had progressed to 5 Sagittarius 51, and was therefore on
the cusp of the twelfth house(the house of imprisonment and restraint) in close
opposition to Lilith.
The Sun in the eighth house is posited in the fiery sign Leo, and 17 days after [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
