We recently connected with Lilith Dorsey and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Lilith thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Can you talk to us about how you learned to do what you do?
It’s hard to explain how I learned to do what I do. I’m a voodoo Priestess, filmmaker, author, anthropologist, and the list goes on. With a name like Lilith I think I always knew I was a magical person. I reveled in the stories and sublime power of my ancestors from an early age. I welcome the divine feminine in every aspect and she has my back. I think honestly, my best skill is resiliency I faced every obstacle known to humankind. I don’t talk about it very often, but I’ve had a lot of trauma, but in a way that teaches you lessons too whether you want them or not.
Lilith, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
My name is Lilith Dorsey. I am a professional witch, psychic, priestess and author. I solve all kinds of problems for my clients with my books and psychic services. I always focus on posting actions people can take to move towards the solutions that are best for them. I’m proud of writing eight books, raising my daughters, singing on Broadway, dancing on stage with Dr. John at Bonnaroo, and continuing to be a helpful Priestess and a good friend. People can get my books online or from my publisher Llewellyn Worldwide. To find out more about me please follow me on social media or check out my website at lilithdorsey.com
Have you ever had to pivot?
I feel like I am always pivoting. I guess I will tell the story of the first time. When I was getting ready to graduate high school, the only place I wanted to go for college was New York University I wanted to make films as a black woman, who now identifies as non-binary I knew the struggle to be a filmmaker was real. When I opened up that fat envelope that contained an acceptance letter from NYU, it was better than owning the lottery. I met wonderful people and made weird, wild, and wonderful films. When I was a senior, I became pregnant with my daughter I was unable to continue my studies at film school , I am and will always feel blessed to be her mom, but at the time it was a huge pivot, and I had no idea where I would end up. I ended up finishing my degree at a different university. I spent a lot of years being a mom and running my own magical, business and newsletter , needless to say the rewards from that gig paid only and smiles, and eventually I had to pivot again. I went back to NYU as a graduate student, studying cinema studies, and culture and media, making documentaries about spirituality and honing my craft in every way when I graduated I had no idea how to get a job as an anthropologist and could not afford to intern with a film company I pivot it again and began writing books. I still make films and my anthropology informs all that I do but most people reading this probably know me as a writer, and for that, I am ever grateful .
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
The most rewarding aspect of being an artist and creator is when people tell me how impactful my work is for them. Sometimes creating happens in a solitary space. It is easy to forget that when your work is born out into the world, it carries out its own special Messages and blessings. When someone tells me that I helped them live a better life that makes it all worth it
