Fucks, fights, and plays chess. She is NOT mother. Mother of demons, but not to practitioners. Goddess of the damned, and forgotten. She is difficult to get ahold of, intelligent, and disgruntled.
She teaches vampiric magic and is a prominent deity in left-hand-path practices along with demonic and satanic workings.
She’s ancient and a bit of a goon.
She has many titles, and teaches feminine philosophies. She is quite cruel, and very blunt.
She doesn’t like to be bothered, and is very fiery, and angry.
She’s commonly associated with Lucifer, but I believe this is a false association. It’s Samael, and Sam is not Lucifer.
There is a lot to her, but she is intelligent, belligerent, and beautiful.

She's a demoness associated with death, primarily of women and children, and disease, that derives from Lamaštu and the lilû ghosts. As someone else said, check out her subreddit (r/Lilith) for resources.

I would recommend reading more about her and her origins. Everyone feels a different feeling from her and that's not wrong I kinda feel her as a gentle support when I'm being honest with myself and allowing myself to feel all my feelings good and bad.

r/Lilith is a subreddit devoted to her, check the FAQ. Much like other figures in western esoteric religions, there are many different groups with very different views of who or what demonized figures are at a fundamental level. This is why you find differing and conflicting interpretations.
Fundamentally, she’s a figure of rebellion—especially against the patriarchy.
She's a mother of demons, but she's more of an "anti-mother" figure. This gets interpreted in various ways historically, such as a "whore"/"babylon" figure or even, it seems, having being prayed to for abortions.
Lilith is generally viewed as a figure in defense of women's bodily autonomy and other rights.
