Lilith Rising is dedicated, a tribute, and in memory of all of the loved ones we lost along the way at the hands of the patriarchy.
All of the witches, the women, the mothers, the sex workers, the queers, and all of the outcasts who fought (and are still fighting) for the rights we have today, and to change this broken system.
They will never be forgotten, as we feel their flames burning ever so brightly again, and remind the fuckers of our collective strength… our unwavering resilience, and that we can no longer be silenced as we rise up.
