Lilith 13 Moons Blood Mysteries
 
"Lilith Blood Rite Mysteries"
This evocative painting by Melissa Shemanna is a sacred rite of passage, introducing the archetype of the Queen Priestess—a figure who bridges the transitional stage between Mother and Crone. Rooted in the wisdom of the life-death-life cycles, this artwork serves as a profound teaching tool for understanding the rhythms of transformation, sovereignty, and renewal.
The central figure emanates grace and power, embodying the sacred feminine. A drop of blood flows to the earth, symbolizing the mysteries of life and death, while the Lilith sigil crowns her as an emblem of sovereignty, freedom of expression, and authentic speech. The Queen Priestess holds space for self-realization and deep healing.
On one side, the painting reveals symbols of decay and transformation, such as the skull and mushrooms, representing the alchemy of death and rebirth. On the other side, a rich abundance of bees, pomegranates, and honeycomb speaks to fertility, creativity, and the sweetness of life. Serpents coil below, connecting the realms of shadow and light, grounding her in the cyclical truths of existence.
This piece is a powerful invocation of feminine wisdom, sovereignty, and the sacred transitions of life.
