After thinking about the Femme Fatale (one manifestation of lilith) I was reminded of Carl Jung's notion of the animus and the anima.If the male is attracted to a femme fatale his anima has its own animus...which is the antidote to the fatal attraction.
So the Femme fatale is attracted to the bad boy type, but goes after the men of power even though she secretly lusts for the bad boys, who most often than not in society compromise the bottom wrong.
So the antidote for the male is to become more of a "bad boy" so to speak...and thus he loses the grip of the femme fatale...this is owning lilith for the male.
One way of doing this is through masterbation.
In mythology lilith relates to masterbation. The more a man feels guilty about masterbating, the more he will be attracted to the femme fatale...but if a man owns his own sexual power and masterbates, he no longer has need for the sexual predator...and he can go on doing his business..
Int his sense, lilith, the symbolic entity of the act of masterbation, becomes an angel safe guarding the children that are produced from this act, which is productivity...or the prodigal child..
Very interesting, that the power of play goes both ways, and that females lose their power over men when they masterbate, so ironically it is in there best interest to control our sexuality, it goes both ways...its equal.
