%X The article presents the feminist discourse on Lilith and asks why she has returned to the centre of activity and creation? It begins with Lilith¡¯s Integrative Myth ¨C a description of the classic Lilith myths ¨C whilst trying to define her image¡¯s central characteristics. Following, I offer one integrative myth: a complex essence that contains contrasts, and stems from a variety of sources, each contributing to the formation of Lilith¡¯s story¡¯s numerous aspects. Lilith¡¯s Revival is discussed, surveying the different ways in which Lilith appears in today¡¯s feminist spiritual discourse, while presenting some of the ways in which her story is re-interpreted and used towards contemporary feminist needs. A feminist Jungian outlook on Lilith¡¯s Myths is included, deciphering Lilith as a symbol of the life-death-life cycle, which leads to a summary of the Jungian analysis¡¯ implications
