SHADOW WORK

DECOLONIZATION

CHRISTIAN DECONSTRUCTION

The Owl Sees It All

Ah, the owl... she’s been a whispered enigma across the globe, weaving through the tapestry of ancient tribal tales and casting shadows in the modern Western mind. Her journey—long, winding, steeped in the velvet cloaks of night... What does she symbolize? Should we be afraid? Evil? Danger?

That depends—how do you see the dark?

The deep, endless mysteries... secret whispers of nature... the veiled, ancient, primordial feminine... and, of course, wisdom herself...

The owl mirrors our dance with the unknown...

Wisdom Demonized

WELCOME TO THE LILITH ACADEMY ... where ancient wisdom blends with modern transformation. Here, we dive deep—way beyond the surface—to explore the shadows, untangle history, and reclaim the sacred path of wisdom.

 

Shadow work, decolonization, and Christian deconstruction are pathways to this profound reclamation.

But what exactly do these terms mean?

Let’s take a quick look...

 

SHADOW WORK... It's the art of turning inward... of facing the dark corners of our psyche that we've long ignored or hidden away. This isn't just about self-discovery; it’s about liberation—from old wounds, from societal imprints, from the narratives that have quietly shaped us. It's a journey through the night... to find the dawn within.

 

DECOLONIZATION...  it's more than just a buzzword. Here, we strip away the layers... the centuries of cultural, political, and spiritual colonization that have disconnected us from our true roots and universal rhythms. It’s about reclaiming our inherent power, our voice, and our deep-seated connections to the earth and each other. It's peeling back the map of the known... to discover the territories of our original selves.

 

CHRISTIAN DECONSTRUCTION... This is about dismantling—piece by piece—the structures and doctrines of mainstream Christianity that no longer serve us. It’s a quest to understand the deeper, often obscured, meanings behind the teachings... a search for a spirituality that resonates truly and deeply with our individual and collective spirits. It’s not just about questioning; it’s about reconstructing ideas of belief vs. knowledge...

 

Though these paths might seem divergent, they converge on a singular truth: liberation. Whether through shadow work, decolonization, or Christian deconstruction, we are seeking freedom... a return to authenticity... a rebirth of the sacred, primordial feminine within each of us.

"Chriselda possesses a unique and powerful skill.
Like an esoteric surgeon, in all of her work she reveals the photographic negative—the inverse of our reality. Before you know it, you see it too, and once seen, it cannot be unseen.
You are transformed."
- Lynette Otters, Lilith Medicine Client

Lilith Remembered

If you're still with me... this might mean you're excited by the ideas of shadow work, decolonization, or what some call Christian deconstruction—also known as Christian recovery... Perhaps you're poised at the edge, ready to peel back layers of the unseen, yet unsure where to begin or what words to use... I understand. That’s precisely why I crafted The Lilith Academy as I did—an ecosystem designed to map out the shadows, bringing order to the invisible chaos...

 

And let's face it—you might not know who to trust with this guidance.

 

Mystery schools and so-called "dark goddess" teachers are a dime a dozen these days...

... and although I am a consecrated Gnostic Priestess (2014), I don't position myself as a spiritual teacher nor do I call TLA a "mystery school". After all, no one can "teach" you spirituality any more than they can "teach" you wisdom.

 

Instead, I've created mentorship programs, courses, and services designed to catalyze your epiphanies, so that you directly experience the a-ha moments yourself.

 

With my deep and intimate relationship with the wild and the dark—garnered from over two decades of sex work and more—I've identified what's often missing in the realms of 'dark goddess study' (shadow work), decolonization (shifting from political frameworks to essential philosophical ones), and Christian deconstruction, (moving from blind faith to embodied knowledge). It's not about discarding baby Jesus with the bathwater, but rather connecting Christ-consciousness to wisdom herself and not "spirituality". This way, when you step away from unquestioning belief, you land somewhere safe... somewhere profound and real.

​

Here, at the threshold of our own remembering, Lilith—the very essence of veiled nature herself—stands, waiting to greet us... to guide us back to all that is sacred and has been forgotten.

​

In the meantime...

This October, The Lilith Academy presents:

In the throes of the apocalypse, what better rebellion than to resurrect joy, crank up the rock and roll, and unleash our inner force of nature?

Church on the B-Sides is a live show and gathering that shatters the barriers that divide us and unleashes the joy hidden in demonized ancient wisdom.

The Lilith Academy Experience:
Where Esoteric Meets Exoteric

Where Nature meets Culture
Where what hides in plain sight is revealed

The Lilith Academy emerged not from an intellectual endeavor but as an experiential one.

TLA is the culmination of remedies I crafted and applied to myself to heal and decipher my suffering, my own dark night.
I was desperate for relief and needed to discover a way to comprehend the events unfolding within me, affecting my soul and my SELF.

Driven by a force far greater and deeper than myself, I was compelled to find a way to articulate the inexpressible, to bring order to an unseen chaos, and to return to a place without a name. Overwhelmed by what felt like madness,  I remained steadfast in my determination.
 
And now, thirteen years after I began consciously collating sacred and secular material that expresses and reveals what is happening to the feminine principle on multiple fronts, both in the hidden and the seen, in the ancient and modern, I have finally launched my feminine philosophy, my Magnum Opus for the western woman who is ready to investigate the root of feminine bondage thus, a path toward Her liberation.

The Lilith Academy was created from my blood, sweat, and tears and is where embodied wisdom meets intellectual knowledge.

The Feminine in Balance

Why Western Women?

 

The Imbalance of Progress

 

Western women, perhaps more than others, find themselves the most imbalanced, deeply severed from their ancestral roots. This creates a striking contradiction: despite our progress in many areas of life, we're facing a real gap in spiritual understanding. This isn't just about being unaware; it's about how our modern society is built on and benefits from this disconnect.

 

The Loss of Feminine Mysteries

 

We were the first humans to be colonized; thus, we have drifted far from our innate feminine mysteries, often unknowingly trading our sacred feminine initiations for masculine rites of passage under the guises of 'progress.' This loss and replacement highlight the urgent need to reconnect Western women with their spiritual heritage and root wisdom.

 

Root Wisdom of Lilith

 

After many years of acute and tireless investigation, I have come to identify Lilith as this Western root wisdom.

 

The Irony of Material Success

 

Western women have achieved significant milestones in material success and status (on a spectrum), yet these victories often entail substantial compromises. Every decision involves a sacrifice; thus, these achievements frequently come with a spiritual cost.

 

Balancing Worldly and Spiritual Ambitions

 

As material comforts increase, there's a notable shift away from pursuing spiritual wisdom, distinctly separate from religious knowledge. Religion is masculine-centered, institutional, and impersonal, which contrasts sharply with spirituality—a deeply personal and sincere quest for understanding that transcends the confines of institutional, patriarchal dogma.

 

And I am not suggesting that we do not reach for worldly success. We can do both. We can learn to perfectly balance our ambition for worldly success with a profound desire for a true, female-centered spiritual enlightenment. 

 

Journey into the Shadow

 

Suppose we aim to revive, heal, nurture, and reconnect with our authenticity and to initiate the restoration of our nature from its core while embracing the authentic Lilithian feminine soul. In that case, we need to venture into our shadow and explore it.

 

Call to Spiritual Rooting

 

If you're reading this, you're likely experiencing an inner transformation. You may be answering a call that's both ancient and new, indescribable yet deeply familiar. Recognizing this call marks the initial step towards mastering a feminine alchemy that empowers us to restore the sacred in a world where much has been profaned.

Bridging the Divide

​

Recognizing this gap, The Lilith Academyâ„¢ bridges these divides by offering a unique educational experience tailored specifically for Western women. The curriculum blends the best of two worlds: the deep, often hidden wisdom of occult teaching and the clear, accessible knowledge of traditional academic subjects.

 

Unique Educational Experience

 

Imagine a place where you can learn about the mysteries of the universe and things that usually remain behind the scenes while also getting a solid education in more familiar subjects like history, science, philosophy, sociology, psychology, and literature. It's not your typical esoteric school or academic university. Here, learning goes beyond the textbooks to include insights and teachings usually reserved for a select few.

 

Holistic Learning Approach

 

This approach creates a rich, comprehensive learning experience that encourages students to explore the visible (the masculine) and the invisible (the feminine) aspects of knowledge.

 

A Pioneering Educational Model

 

It's focused on more than just esoteric, mystical subjects that might seem obscure or secretive, and it is limited to the usual academic studies in most schools. Instead, The Lilith Academy offers a holistic education focused on helping the Western woman reach for balance, bridging the gap between these two realms, and reconciling polarity, making it a pioneering experience for those seeking both practical academic excellence and spiritual depth.

Testimonial

"Chriselda Pacheco is why Prometheus was chained. Throughout the course of her life, as she trudged through darkness, wilderness, all the places few dare to go, she has alchemized it all. Every experience in the "under-belly" of Western society was kindling for the bonfire of her soul and the guiding torch that is The Lilith Academy. In the last few years, I have personally felt the heat of this conflagration in several aspects. I have taken the magnum opus course, engaged in the salons, and worked with Chriselda one-on-one in mentorship. Regardless of setting, the witnessing, nourishment, peace, and honor that is shared between mentor and mentee is sacred, honest, raw, enlightening, and even at times, provoking. There are so many sides to myself and the external world (as above, so below!) that the philosophical discussions and rhetorical conversations teased out that I either didn't know existed or simply did not know how to wrangle with. Now, after this initiatory experience, I feel more equipped and armed to navigate both my inner world and the culture in which we live. Whether it be in my job, romantic relationships, friendships, creative endeavors, or just the personal quest to seek understanding, the Hermetic framework, archetypal tableau of the Garden of Eden in which we live, my own experiences, and the gritty anecdotal hard-earned wisdom from Chriselda make a strong layered foundation of my own kindling with which I have ignited to blaze my own path to my own individuation, for which I am eternally grateful." - Hannah Janssen, Award-Winning filmmaker/writer, Graduate of TLA Programs, Lilith Medicine client ​
