Bahya Ibn Paquda: Whispers of Lilith, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Step into the shadows of medieval Al-Andalus-a world where cultures converged, faiths intertwined, and women guarded powerful secrets beneath the surface of history. In this compelling exploration of Jewish and Arab mysticism, Whispers of Lilith unveils the forbidden spiritual practices of Sephardic women who defied silence, persecution, and patriarchy.

Drawing from ancient texts, oral traditions, and modern scholarship, this book reveals how women served as healers, protectors, and bearers of mystical knowledge-often hidden in amulets, herbs, dreams, and sacred chants. These "silent daughters of Lilith" inhabited a world shaped by both Kabbalah and Sufism, where the divine feminine found voice through secrecy, resistance, and ritual.

A powerful blend of history, folklore, and esoteric insight, Whispers of Lilith invites readers into a forgotten chapter of spiritual resilience and intercultural mysticism-where magic was survival, and silence was strength.

For readers of: Jewish history, mystical traditions, feminist spirituality, and the cultural legacy of medieval Spain.
