Lilith: The Redeemer: short Promo

Thanks Ed,
The character of Von Hesse is a descendent of Armenian Gnostics (Paulicians), who settled in the Languedoc in the south of France. Born ‘Guy de Montpelier’ in the mid 11th century, he serves as a mercenary in Duke William of Normandy’s invasion of England in 1066: but becomes embroiled in a feud with Earl Hugh D’Avranches (nick-named Lupus – ‘The Wolf’). Already an accomplished mystic and alchemist, he travels to Alexandria in Egypt where he studies Hermeticism, and first learns of Lilith, ahead of the arrival of the Crusaders, His life artificially prolonged by his earlier work in alchemy: he later falls foul of a descendent of ‘The Wolf’ – Guilliame D’Avranches, a Knight Templar who believes de Montpelier to be a descendent of the earlier mercenary. Guilliame D’Avranches decides to continue the blood-feud, and is killed by de Montpelier.
Now a marked man by the whole order of Knights Templar, he returns to the Languedoc and becomes a Cathar knight - Credente (believer). Here, he continues his studies in mysticism and the occult, and searches for any possibility of making contact with ‘Goddess’ Lilith.
More than a century later, his appearance still that of a man in his early thirties, de Montpelier is involved in defending against the Inquisition’s siege of the last Cathar fortress of Montsegùr. He is entrusted with the ‘Treasure of The Cathars’ which is revealed as being the Codex Lucifer – or Devil’s Bible – a book that ‘proves’ the Cathar version of Christianity – versus the accepted Roman Catholic canon. Authored by Lucifer’s disciples, it is an alternative account of Genesis in ‘Gnostic’ terms, along with a different version of the New Testament and book of Revelations. It also reveals much occult knowledge, including the true origin and nature of the ‘Bringer of Light’ as brother to Lilith, the ‘First Woman’ a Goddess of the Pleroma beyond creation’s finite bound. De Montpelier is asked to memorize the entire book in case it falls into the Inquisition’s hands. Several Knights Templar are at the siege including Etienne D’Avranches, the latest descendent of ‘The Wolf’ . This member of the D’Avranches clan is an experienced enemy of de Montpelier – and as well as being tasked with seizing the heretical ‘Treasure of the Cathar’s’ he wants to personally kill de Montpellier. De Montpellier escapes from the fortress at night, having used the Codex to make contact with Lilith. The book is taken by the Templars in ambush, but de Montpelier manages to kill Etienne – whose blood soaks into its pages. Forced to abandon the Codex, de Montpelier flees. The Codex is in code, derived from ancient Aramaic and the Templars are unable to decipher it. De Montpelier reaches Germany where he adopts the aristocratic name of Maximilian Von Hesse.
He is forced to travel thereafter to the site of the Garden of Eden in Armenia, locate Lilith’s blood soil, and through alchemical transformations, refine it ready for use to re-animate her into flesh.
Much, much later, Lucien le Savant (Lucifer) re-animates Etienne D’Avranches for a show down with Lilith’s servant, whilst he, Lucien, sets out to destroy his sister as they battle for the fate of the world.

I'm intrigued and look forward to the total unveiling. Personally, I've got to love the name von Hesse for the servant. I feel drawn to return to Hesse's work and see if there is such an image/character/concept there as well. Keep us in the loop.

Short promo for Lilith The Last Temptation of Adam movie, written by Tom Stevens, with music by former Mike Oldfield singer-song writing partner Maggie Reilly. Lilith as the alternative Eve and Gnostic archetype of the feminine (both dark and light poles). Von Hesse her dark servant and would be suitor - representing both the Animus and the journey work of redemption and individuation of the hero.
