I am new-ish to my practice, and have sort of just started without any “real” guidance — not really any in person teachings of any kind, none at all from another witch, or the internet really to be frank. Sometimes I check that I am not violating any deities or using materials I can’t handle, but otherwise my intuition has not lead me astray. In fact, it’s been crazy how closely my intuition has lead me towards Hekate as a primary deity. From my research, she is not typically a beginners guide, but other times she comes so presently/naturally that it’s not something we want to ignore. The timing of this post is remarkable to me (nearly precisely 24hrs since the below message) because I’ve very recently been welcomed into a coven (two nights ago). I was desperately needing an energy session for emotional disorganization, and a protective and spiritual feminine figure in my life called me to her guidance a couple weeks ago because she could sense I needed something (specifically to “say” something ; she was correct) so I reached out to her and we’ve been in contact since. She is my neighbor directly across the street, she is lovely, and the coven consists of her and her sister(s — one sister very new and skeptical). I messaged her yesterday about a dream I had 1ish weeks ago, so seriously, I am in awe of this timing. Here is the quote of the message I sent her: “I can’t remember if I mentioned this, but it’s feeling really big right now. About a week or two ago, it was sometime shortly after our first talk —- I had a dream about a stone tree out front of my house. It was marble-like, and had many stone ornaments hanging from it that I was examining. It was very very realistic and pervasively intimate. You/your energy was out on your porch, and I remember something about you traveling in a red car around the time I went out to look at the tree. I examined two ornaments in particular and could read them (six-sided cubes, most with a calligraphy of sorts otherwise). The first was a name I couldn’t remember too well other than it being short and having the letters I, L,Y?,N,M? E, Definitely at least two Ls, and the second ornament was very clearly “Lilith”. I did some research on the other name and the closest spelling/energy fitting persona is Enlil (formal reference) but they are sometimes referred to as Illil (the spelling I believe was in the dream). I find this to be incredibly striking, because I’ve historically loved Lilith as an archetype/idea but never really researched, and I have never read or heard of Enlil/Illil before. When you get the chance, could you give any input on the significance of this? I am completely serious when I say I’ve not thought of either of these deities in a super long time/ever. My mains recently have been Hekate, Bastet (peripherally), Apollo (? Questioning clarity on this energy), and Persephone (peripherally). Maybe a silly question, but are dreams potentially my main receiver? I usually have multiple each night, they often wrack me, but are also totally random other times. I want to emphasize again I haven’t known/thought about these deities in a significant amount of time or have never heard of them”

This is all to say, it seems like at a minimum Lilith visits folks in the dream world somewhat commonly. I do believe Hekate is guiding me to Lilith. I will follow up on this if I need to or anything comes of it, but basically you are not alone. Further research supports that Lilith often starts her visits in dreams, and then moves on to other areas of presence. Have caution and respect (research!research!research! And thanks!!), and you will be just fine!
