I'd like to introduce you to a new genre,
Sinister Affirmations.
It's a slightly ironic twist on regular affirmations with a touch of dark aesthetics.
While standard affirmations focus on success,
Love and the light within,
Sinister ones lean into accepting your darker side,
The chaos or simply the vibe of gothic and noir.
You can just listen to the lines or repeat them out loud or in your head.
There will be short pauses for that.
Each one comes in two rounds.
If you're repeating them,
The first time just say the words along with me and the second time take a moment to actually feel and think about what they mean.
These affirmations will be guided by the goddess of self-sufficiency and inner strength,
Lilith.

According to ancient texts,
Lilith was created at the same time as Adam,
Not from his rib.
She came from the same dust and the same fire as the first man.
When she was offered obedience in exchange for the comfort of paradise,
She chose the wind.
When she was threatened with exile,
She spread her wings and flew.
In the emptiness of the Red Sea,
She found her throne and herself,
And her crown in the silence of the night.
In the emptiness of the Red Sea,
She found her throne and herself,
And her crown in the silence of the night.
In the emptiness of the Red Sea,
She found her throne and herself,
And her crown in the silence of the night.
They called her a demon and those who feared her silence.
They called her evil,
Those who did not dare to touch her.
They called her evil,
Those who did not dare to touch their own shadow.
But she was not evil,
She was the first to become truly free.
But she was not evil,
She was the first to become truly free.
She never returned to paradise.
She created her own.
