LILITH - THE FIRST EVE

In Lilith: The First Eve, scholar and Jungian psychoanalyst Sigmund Hurwitz presents a profound exploration of Lilith as an ancient archetype rooted in Jewish mysticism, folklore, and psychological symbolism. Drawing from Kabbalah, Talmudic sources, mythology, and depth psychology, Hurwitz examines Lilith not as a demonized figure—but as a powerful representation of the suppressed feminine psyche.

This work traces Lilith’s evolution from mythic first woman to shadow figure, illuminating how fear of feminine autonomy, sexuality, and independence shaped her exile from sacred narrative. Hurwitz skillfully bridges spiritual tradition and modern psychology, revealing Lilith as a mirror for humanity’s unresolved relationship with desire, power, and the unconscious.

Essential reading for those interested in archetypal psychology, shadow work, Jewish mysticism, and feminine reclamation, Lilith: The First Eve offers deep insight into the inner forces that shape identity, repression, and liberation.
