What's a good source to find out more about Lilithism? I'm interested in other left-hand path communities, too.

One of my sources on Her is a Brazilian Portuguese translation of a book written by Mark H. Williams, whose original English title is "Embracing Lilith". The version I have is entitled "Encontro com Lilith: Mulher, Demônio e Deusa" ("Encounter/Meeting with Lilith: Woman, Demon and Goddess"), I keep it on my personal altar because the cover with an illustration of Her is so majestic (photo embedded in this reply).

Williams does a syncretism which, at least to me, perfectly resonated with my own, in which Lilith manifests across multiple belief systems through multiple epithets and names (e.g. the Pomba-Giras from Afro-Brazilian Quimbanda, Babalon from Thelema, among many other syncretic equivalences).

There are likely other excellent books on Her, books of which I don't know yet and I'm willing to know and read too.

Before I got to know the Williams' book, most of the knowledge I got to learn about Her was taught by Herself through a series of chilling gnoses that suddenly started in November 2024. At the time (2024), I was a member of a Brazilian Luciferian group from which I ended up leaving as soon my practices centered on Lilith ended up diverging from the group's practices centered on Lucifer, including my sudden practice of lighting up red candles when the group used to light up blue and purple candles (not that I stopped worshiping Lucifer, because Lucifer is also part of my beliefs and practices, it's just that my worship became exclusively centered on Lilith, with entities such as Lucifer and Stolas being complementary to Her).

Two years later, with my solitary rituals and spiritual experiences being somewhat stable, I still ask myself so many open-ended questions, because when I learn more about Lilith, I know and I feel there's so little I learned and so much I'm yet to learn, with some of the knowledge being seemingly unable to be fully learned while I'm still incarnated. And sometimes I miss being part of a group, somewhere I'd hear similar experiences from this unexpected and breathtaking connection with Lilith and hopefully learn more about Her, too.

Heavily edited photography centered on a wall shelf containing plenty of ritualistic objects, from right to left: - A small, black bag (contains fresh red and black candles, not visible on picture). - Book "Encontro com Lilith: Mulher, Demônio e Deusa" (Meeting with Lilith: Woman, Demoness and Goddess) from Mark H Williams (a writer and bishop). The book is standing against the wall. - Before the book, there's a 7-pointed star, Lotus flower shaped, brass candle holder, with a red candle stick on it. The candle is not lit (yet). Two small pieces of charcoal are surrounding the candle. - A few incense stick boxes: two "Rosa Vermelha" (Red rose) from different brands (Darshan and Parman), a "Pomba Gira" (feminine spirits from Umbanda/Quimbanda) dedicated incense, and an empty incense stick box from a different brand which also reads "Pomba Gira: Sensualidade e Amor" (Sensuality and Love). All the incense stick boxes are vertically positioned against the wall. - Before the incense stick boxes, another candle-incense holder, this one being a red, circular porcelain/ceramic. Inside the candle holder, there are two small chalk pieces. - A small, brass statue of Aphrodite/Persephone/Inanna, with the figure standing naked (but the nudity is too small, too shaded by the low light conditions, and too bleached by the photo filters, so it's not visible) on top of a sea shell (doubleas as a Lotus flower) against a circular background (doubles both as a Full Moon and as a halo) while the left arm covers the genitalia and the right arm brushes her own hair. Also as part of the statue, a lengthy serpent is coiled all the way from her legs to her right arm then finally hanging at the chest level while facing us with a hissing mouth. The figure's hair is painted red, and the body has a slight shade of pale red as well. By her feet, more pieces of charcoal, including a razor-blade-shaped charcoal carved with the Hebrew letters for "Lilith". The brass statue is flanked by two cubic crystal candle holders, and also by two nail polishers: a black "Risqué" to her right and a red "Colorama" to her left. - Further before the statue, a spiked choker with a silver pendant containing the Seal of Lilith. The tips of the spikes are all painted red.
