The latest collection due to drop from the creatives at Ancient Earth is inspired by the mythology of Lilith. If you follow our socials and blogs you may now understand the Ancient Earth interpretation of her story and how it has inspired our uniquely designed patterns and clothing styles - for every chapter of womanhood. However, filling your wardrobe with ethical boho fashion is not our only focus; we want women to truly embody the characters and influences behind our clothing and here are a few practical ways you can honour Lilith in your daily life.

Journaling for Shadow Work
Shadow work, or the practice of exploring the hidden and darker sides of yourself, is one of the most powerful ways to connect with Lilith. Use journaling to reflect on your fears, suppressed desires, and societal conditioning that may limit your self-expression. Write prompts such as: “What part of myself am I afraid to show others?” or “How can I reclaim my power?”. As you write, allow honesty to flow without self-judgment, and use this process to embrace the dark feminine that resides in all of us.
Dressing for Self-Expression
Lilith’s mythology encourages self-expression free from societal norms. Dress in ways that feel authentic to you, whether it’s bold and daring, gothic and mysterious, or flowing and ethereal. Use clothing, makeup, or accessories to showcase your inner power and individuality. Dressing in alignment with your true self is a tangible way to honour Lilith’s unapologetic spirit. Our core mission at Ancient Earth is to design historically inspired clothes that allow women to step into their power - with the practicalities of modern life at the forefront. Our Lilith Part Two collection is no exception with every stitch and pattern crafted to empower not only the woman who wears it, but the women who designed, made and sent it.
Anger-Release Activities
Lilith is often associated with feminine rage and defiance against oppressive systems. Honour her by giving yourself permission to feel your own anger and finding healthy outlets to process it. This might include hitting a punching bag, screaming from a cliff top, sounding or dancing to intense music! These practices can be cathartic, helping you release somatically stored emotions and reclaim your authenticity... just as the ancient Lilith intended.
Connecting with the Moon
As Lilith is a deeply feminine energy she is often linked with lunar cycles, particularly the new moon, which represents introspection, beginnings, and the unseen order. Use the new moon phase to perform your own personal rituals of , meditation, quiet reflection, manifestation and journaling. You might also explore astrology to understand your Lilith placement in your own personal chart, which can offer insights into areas where you can further embrace your independence and shadow work in line with the lunar energy.
Creating Art
Channel Lilith’s energy through creative expression. Paint, write poetry, dance, take photographs or craft something that reflects her themes of ancient feminine power, transformation and taking a leap of faith. Artistic practices can help you tap into the raw, untamed energy that Lilith embodies, allowing you to explore your shadow in a safe, transformative way. With much of creativity believed to come from the womb space or sacral chakra, by finding an outlet for this energy it allows you to step into the truth of who you are - just as Lilith did.
Our hope for every woman is that she finds the ancient strength within herself to live her truth without fear. We deeply believe that women as their most authentic and untamed selves change the world and our intention is to empower you with some ways you can do this in your daily life. Beyond the identities we are given by others, you are a woman of the earth... just as Lilith was.
