Comment on Why Aren't there More Fem-Focused Werewolf Stories?
dsilverz@catodon.rocks 1 week agoProbably the ‘uncanny valley’ effect. It is too real and jarringA bit of an off-topic but not quite: as both a man, a follower of a left-hand path centered on Lilith and an amateur artist who tries to transmute my gnosis-induced thought-forms into artworks, I'd say the uncanny valley is important to convey Her essence as a powerful feminine energy. Lilith is mostly about the liminal thresholds and the crossroads: neither fully darkness nor fully light, neither fully solar nor fully lunar... Lilith is beautifully, and dangerously, complex to fathom, especially for me as a man, hence why I pivoted from worshipping Lucifer to worshipping Her as soon as She, for some reason I'm yet to understand, decided to pull me to Her path, and have been doing art centered on Her different manifestations, an art of which is full with the uncanny valley effect precisely because She is beyond our human comprehension, beyond what (for example) H.P. Lovecraft could ever convey in his fictional stories.
Men won’t be able to relate to it
So what OP asked, to me, sounded practically like what I understand of and see Lilith (hence this aside of mine), except Lilith is more closer to "vampire stories" (vampiress) than to "werewolf stories" (some syncretic interpretations of Lilith, including mine, sees Her as having a connection to wolves, as in, Hekate, although Lilith would be more relatable to owls).
