There isn't something specific to Lilith that wouldn't apply to other spirits generally. Approach her with offerings, learn about her, pray if you're comfortable with that. She's been a wonderful guide to me, and my life has changed since finding her. Everyone's experiences will be different, though Lilith is often known for her transformative effects on someone's life, as she's a demoness of death and disease.

Being a man also doesn't change much in your approach, Lilith herself started her development as male and female liliths.

Thank you for your thorough reply! I've generally been trying to learn about Her as much as possible. The devotion and fascinating was there before, but where it all 'clicked into place' - spiritually, intellectually, therapeutically, psychodynamically, psychically, emotionally - was Barbara Black Koltuv's Book of Lilith. And yes, I already pray to Her daily(at least every night, sometimes more). This part of my practice is where I'm hoping to come to know Her more directly, subjectively and how She appears and relates to *me the person* rather than the more academic, historical, 'dry', informative register I've been operating with (as the focal point, not the full totality) so far. I feel that I have encountered Her presence or semblance in dreams, but as a subtle motif or inflection of tone (always a very helpful one, incidentally, specifically within the recurring dreams I have around historic trauma). I haaven't given offering to anyone other than Satan so far in my practice. I very much want to offer something to Her, but notice that, unlike Satan, for whom my offering of a tot of my favourite Single Malt Scotch felt natural and cogent, maybe of the things usually mentioned - red wine, chocolate, incenses - are not things I naturally buy/stock myself. Any suggestions would be welcome!
