Symbols: Owl & Venus

 The 'Queen of the Night' Relief 
Old Babylonian, 1800-1750 BC - From southern Iraq
"Most often, Venus as a planet is called Ninanna, the lady of heaven. But Inanna, Sumer's most popular goddess, who had many functions, was identified with the planet Venus, both as the war-like morning star and as the love goddess evening star." (Sumerian Questions and Answers)
Also representative of Lilith..

A color theme of red, white, black, and gold.
A red-skinned woman, holding a golden loop rod in each hand. Her wings are red, white, and black, and and her headdress is gold and black.
The owls have feathers of alternating red, white, and black; the lions  white and black.
A completely black Background , probably to connote darkness and nighttime.


An excellent site on Lilith (from which most of this posting came) is Letters of Lilith
